Cackling @ Mary getting a hot rebound guy while Edith is stuck with sketchy old dudes
bssybuse 24th-Jan-2013 01:36 am (UTC)
And so does Orlando Bloom

that would be perfect.

Poor Edith, always with the old guys and no young hot one for her.
gendrys 24th-Jan-2013 01:40 am (UTC)
already an upgrade from stovens tbh
ladyfly56 24th-Jan-2013 01:44 am (UTC)
tbh i wasn't really wanting a new love interest for Mary this season.

i would've preferred if in s4 she was more focused on herself/her son/Downton rather than them throwing in a new romance for her already.

Matthew Goode. Although I would love to see Richard Armitage on the show. And Harry Lloyd.
apothecaries 24th-Jan-2013 01:51 am (UTC)
Harry/Richard would steal every scene lbr.
roguedandelion 24th-Jan-2013 01:54 am (UTC)
HARRY LLOYD WOULD BE PERF

pastelstar 24th-Jan-2013 02:35 am (UTC)
I ENJOY THIS SUGGESTION
hypermuseic9 24th-Jan-2013 05:23 am (UTC)
omg perfect suggestions. I love all these men. unff
reforzado 24th-Jan-2013 05:28 am (UTC)
omg Matthew Goode or Richard Armitage.. the prettiness would be overwhelming
apothecaries 24th-Jan-2013 01:51 am (UTC)
Lady Mary needs someone more exciting like Tom but more refined so it works. Cos Matthew was a loser.

So I am new to downton abbey, and I marathoned it on hulu and online, but when do the seasons run in the US? I saw season 3 episodes on PBS the other day, is season 3 airing now in the states? when will season 4 air? I am so confused.

Season 3 is airing now in the US. Presumably, Season 4 will air in September in the UK, which is when it usually runs. Season 4 will then be premiered in the US the following January.
Everyone just streams that shit though.
duckyduck92 24th-Jan-2013 02:18 am (UTC)
thanks bb, I have been so confused.
moo_shoe 24th-Jan-2013 02:09 am (UTC)
Yes, season 3 is airing now in the states. They've only shown 3 episodes thus far I believe.
zephyrkist 24th-Jan-2013 01:54 am (UTC)
Tbh part of me just wishes they'd recast Matthew with someone better looking than Dan just to be jerks. Besides, I'd rather hear about a new man for Edith or, more importantly, Thomas.

Why couldn't Bates have left?!
sapphiredragon 24th-Jan-2013 04:21 am (UTC)
That would be hilarious if they just had a new, handsomer actor come in after Matthew's "reconstructive surgery" from the car accident.
lauracoy 24th-Jan-2013 01:54 am (UTC)
I assumed Mary would be so devastated over Matthew's death, but if they do another massive time jump and Granny and FAIL Robert are still alive I will lol.
winonaforever 24th-Jan-2013 02:00 am (UTC)
Fellowes has said that he would never kill Violet, Robert will die before does lol
fauxkaren 24th-Jan-2013 02:17 am (UTC)
I think she'll mourn Matthew for a while but I think there's going to be a time jump between s3 and s4, so I could see Mary being ready to move on by like 4x04 or something.
hateistoodark 24th-Jan-2013 01:55 am (UTC)
He better be hot
Harry Lloyd or Matthew Goode imo let's get Mary a dark haired dude this time.
yurasama_love 24th-Jan-2013 02:05 am (UTC)
The last time she had a dark haired dude, he wound up dead in her bed.
hateistoodark 24th-Jan-2013 02:06 am (UTC)
Well maybe the next one will be able to handle her.
roguedandelion 24th-Jan-2013 01:55 am (UTC)
They need a hot boyfriend for Mary, Edith, and Thomas. OR MAYBE JUST ONE FOR ALL 3

Come on downton, spice things up!
yurasama_love 24th-Jan-2013 02:02 am (UTC)
So no Evelyn.
Mary doesn't need a man! Edith could use one that ISN'T FUCKING MARRIED OR TWICE HER AGE.
emeraldus 24th-Jan-2013 02:15 am (UTC)
Richard Armitage definitely for first choice. Second would be Matthew MacFadyan who did an excellent Mr. Darcy.
ms_geekette 24th-Jan-2013 03:43 am (UTC)
Matthew MacFadyen is the lead in BBC's Ripper Street, which is airing right now. You would think there would be no overlap with the filming schedules (I think Ripper Street is only 8 eps), but I thought Stevens said it took 10(!) months to film Downton, which, if that's true, that is a pretty ridiculous schedule for so few episodes. That's worse than US TV filming schedules, with a typical 20+ eps in a season.

Six months only, February to July.

zimraphel 24th-Jan-2013 02:20 am (UTC)
Good riddance, I really can't say I'm sorry to see his dull ass leave. I would love to see Mary end up with somebody a bit more exciting, like a James Purefoy-type as a diamond in the rough in a dinner jacket. This series really needs some shaking up if they want to keep my attention.

Mmmm... Purefoy. I think I'm going to have to re-watch Rome sometime soon...



Obvs Purefoy is never happening though. Maybe Eoin Macken would be good? Santiago Cabrera? IDK, just ticking off the boxes from the Merlin cast tbh...
modernelegance 24th-Jan-2013 02:34 am (UTC)
Ooooo, Purefoy. I loves him.
hockeychick57 24th-Jan-2013 02:44 am (UTC)
god he was so fucking hot in vanity fair.
zmack 24th-Jan-2013 03:00 am (UTC)
omg he is perfect looking
