Downton Abbey

[Zander]

And then Bates darkens episode's end with his creepy sign-off, "Nothing is over. And nothing is done with," to poor Mrs. Hughes...

Another great episode.

Yep. it was Another fabulously satisfying episode' Bates is misdirecting his anger at poor Mrs. Hughes.

I agree. Bates should not have imposed a state of apprehension on Mrs. Hughes. He should instead have thanked her for restoring the happiness he'd thought was ended. If he intends to have revenge on his wife's attacker he should do so without such ominous fanfare. It isn't suited to his normally mature and sensible disposition.

But I'm left to wonder how this situation will turn out. If I were writing the script I would have that group including the rapist return to Downton for some reason, which prompts Mrs. Hughes to tell Carson what happened, and Carson would conspire with Bates and Branson to arrange some painfully fatal accident to befall the rapist while he's there.

I see a scenario such as that one happening as well. Lord Gillingham's valet is sure to meet some dreadful fate, probably showing up dead under the London bridge or some such.

They're not above it at Downton, you remember the guy who slept with Mary and died in her bed? These people have ways of dealing with these things ...

Downton has jumped the shark.

The Rape plot line is unfortunate, and completely unnecessary. It's not good drama to have so much tragedy centered on sweet little Anna (who has become the heroine in an overwrought Perils of Little Nell style).

What's next? Snidley Whiplash tying her to a railroad track?

Walking dead has restarted again I will be watching that

No kidding?

English people being English is meant to be boring.

Cora's side is American.

On the event calendar now are disposition of Anna's rapist, Edith's pregnancy, Rose's romantic involvement with a negro, Mary's emerging romance, and the consequence of Thomas Barrow's collusion with Cora's maid. (Did I miss anything?)

So the stage is set.

Both are soap operas.

I did watch some of the WD marathon last Sunday. Now THAT is boring. A one trick pony with special effects. The constant and gratuitous violence gets really tiresome.

I switched to Downton Abbey. At times sappy but the costumes, jewelry, houses, countryside are all just stunning.

Do all the PBS stations show the previous episode again before showing the new one?

You could do a little catching up.

Looks like the rapist came back one too many times. Bates really suspects him now, he seems to know it was him.
