10 Things about Downton Abbey Season 3

 

If you have not watched all of Downton Abbey Season 3.. don't read my post today.

 

SPOILER ALERT! 

 

 I just want to share 10 things I have felt overall with Season 3.

 

-1- 

 

 I can't believe they killed off 2 main characters in one Season.

I was so, so sad about Sybil.. but so, so mad about Matthew.

 

It did help a little to read that Matthew wanted out of the show. 

Then.. I am not so Angry at the writers.

 

-2-

 

You all know that I loathe Thomas.  Yes.. I do.

 

This season was the first that I actually felt pity for him.

 

What can I say?  I felt compassion for him.

 

 When he was crying over lady Sybil.. I wanted to hug him too.  I know.. crazy.

 

But.. the story line with James had me uncomfortable all the way through.

 

And.. um.. I couldn't believe that he would be in the position he was with all of the crimes he committed through the whole show.

 

  Now he is in a position over Bates?  Unbelievable!

 

I thought they were trying to be historical here? 

 Pretty sure that would have NEVER happened.

 

My compassionate heart wanted him to have a reference.. or at the very least a lowly job.. but to keep him on and in such a high position?  I am outraged.  Yes.  Outraged over a fake show.

 

-3-

 

 Mrs Crawley remains one of my favorite characters.  I know she bugs many people.. but I love that she is true to herself and will go head to head with anyone including Violet.
 She is compassionate.. logical.. and doesn't let her "class " affect her.

 The only thing that bugged me with her during Season 3 -- was her interaction with Dr. Clarkson.  I wish they would have gotten together/married!!

 

I feel for her.. and wonder what Season 4 will bring with her -- with Matthew's death.

 

-4-

 

 I couldn't stand Carson in Season 3. 

One of my least favorite characters of the Season.

 

 The end.

 

-5-

 

 After Sybil died.. I was grateful for a "mad and sad" break with a few episodes of happy and healing...so I could enjoy myself in the season for a little bit.
 

I enjoyed the beautiful lines about grief and loss.  ~ And thank you to the writers for giving me some " Happy times with Matthew and Mary."  I needed that.

 

-6-

 

 Lady Violet was my absolute favorite this Season.  She for sure gets the best lines.

 

-7-

 

 The story line with Rose was boring to me.  The Highland story.... *YAWN*

I have nothing against Scotland.  My 3rd great Grandpa was from there.
 

I just wanted them back at Downton.

 Can't Rose stay somewhere else please??

 

-8-

 

 I am bugged about how long they are drawing out Edith's "single state."
 

And do the writers not have any better ideas than to rip off Jane Eyre?
 

When her boss said his wife was insane and in an institution.. I almost threw up in my mouth.
 

Who am I supposed to feel bad for more?  He or Edith???

 

-9-

 

 Thank you for freeing Bates.

 The story line was WAY too long.

 

-10-

 

 The moment with Matthew, Mary and the baby after it's birth.. was the most beautiful, amazing and best written and best part of all of Season 3.

 The words that Matthew  used to express himself for the Love of his son -- and for his wife were amazing.  I finally felt happy for them. 

~ And then my happiness went down the toilet when I saw him happily driving in his car.. and was not paying any attention.  

 

I knew what was coming. 

 

And I I knew they killed him off..and there was no coming back because he had " Dead Eyes."

 

I can't believe all of my friends that watched this.. had kept it a secret.

 It was the only thing not spoiled for me about the Season.. and I was grateful.  I think.

 

Overall... this Season is not one that I will care to re-watch often.

 

It's too sad.. and stirs alot of frustration and sadness/madness in me.

 

Another frustration I have.

 

Why not air the show for the whole world at the same time?

 

Why must the US see this last?

 

I'm sure it has something to do with money or politics.

 

I was pretty bugged at how much was spoiled in the US via people and pictures on the Internet.

In a perfect world.. we all see the fake show that we love TOGETHER.

 

That's my feelings. 

Just Sayin.

 

Today I am Grateful for:

 

Season 1 of Downton Abbey. 

 The best costumes.. and good medicine to see after drowning in Season 3.

 

My dear friend Tauna who sent me her finest homemade chocolates.. so I could drown my Downton woes in chocolaty goodness.

 

A busy week

 

44 days left until Spring!

 

Friends that stopped by this weekend. 

 I needed it.  Thank you!
