Downton Abbey Open Thread

Hello, gorgeous!So, Downton Abbey finally had its Season 3 premiere in america last evening, after what appeared as an interminable wait! A wait throughout which it's been impossible to prevent some heinous spoilers when one reads this news as a living HARRUMPH! But a wait which was worthwhile, as Season 3's two-hour premiere shipped in fine fashion, in each and every feeling of the saying. Individuals dropped-waist dresses! Individuals opera-length chains! Individuals glorious fascinators! Swoon.All things have transformed, but all things have remained exactly the same at Downton. The almighty Crawley continues to be an serious dunderhead. His title ought to be transformed immediately in the Earl of Grantham towards the Earl of Whooooooops. Lady Cora Crowley continues to be perfect because she takes all of the valium. Lady Mary Crowley continues to be mercurial, with techniques that fit writers' vagaries although not human instinct, but we are not designed to notice because women amirite? Matthew continues to be Matthew. And Bates continues to be in prison. The finish.That omits fully a million figures, however i invite you to definitely Mad Lib all of the relaxation from the figures as the time enables.Anyway! This is a thread to discuss everything Downton Abbey, only with the first episode of Season 3. Do not share things from later within the season, despite a spoiler warning, because I have reached mod the thread, which requires reading through everything. So be kind, if you are elsewhere on the planet in which the whole season has broadcast.
