Suuuuuuuuch a good ending!! I think I loved everything about it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2474147 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 11:27:53 +0000 Adira 2474147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: That's good to hear!</p> <p>@bluestriped bee: Seriously - I miss Matthew! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2474145 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 11:27:17 +0000 BSB 2474145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Yeah, well, karma went too far there! :wink: RIP Matthew. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2473908 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 10:13:57 +0000 ShootingStar 2473908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've already seen all the episodes because we get them through itunes and they release them early. I won't give any spoilers except to say the series finale was excellent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2473899 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 10:09:26 +0000 Adira 2473899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So these are my hopes for the last episode:</p> <p>1. Anna and Bates have a healthy baby<br /> 2. Edith gets her happy ending<br /> 3. Isobel and Lord Merton work it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2473004 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 15:38:16 +0000 Mrs Panda 2473004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: true! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2472999 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 15:35:04 +0000 mfa_lady 2472999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Panda: I get that. I do think they're using him to show how the family is softening/opening their minds a little. He helped them with that open house thing, he got Granny to come home to help Mary out, etc. He was pretty heavy-handed with the Henry thing, though. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2472995 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 15:33:00 +0000 Mrs Panda 2472995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: I agree I like him too- I just wish they gave him more of a role than Mary's matchmaker after bringing him back! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2472992 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 15:29:14 +0000 mfa_lady 2472992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Panda: I'm glad Tom came back because I don't know if I could have kept watching otherwise. Ha! He's my favorite. I like that he's the only one who (until Edith's outburst last week) who can stand up to Mary. And somehow he does it tenderly AND strongly at the same time. </p> <p>I think he pushed hard for Henry because her reasons for not going for it were all fear-based. He really seems to want everybody to end up happy!</p> <p>ETA: Wow, I look like some kind of Tom Branson stalker. Guess who my favorite character is?! Hahahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2472987 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 15:26:01 +0000 Mrs Panda 2472987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was excited to see Tom come back, but now I'm wondering what the point of that was? Just to be this third party pushing Mary and Henry together? Why was he so adamant about that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2472970 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 15:13:33 +0000 Adira 2472970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Well, Matthew was killed, so maybe that balances things out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2472960 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 15:07:27 +0000 BSB 2472960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I like Edith so I'm a bit biased. Now for that b*tch Mary... :wink: Karma seems to skip over her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2472959 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 15:07:23 +0000 Adira 2472959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: Oooh, I would love it if after the episode is over, they give a brief synopsis of what happens to all the characters (with happy endings for all of them, of course)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2472951 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 15:02:28 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2472951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I agree!</p> <p>I know this is probably investing too much into fictional characters... but I can't help but wonder if George will survive WWII. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2472949 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 15:01:15 +0000 Tidybee 2472949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I saw a cast interview before t aired this season and the interviewer asked if everything will be wrapped up and "tom" basically said no. He said there will be some resolutions for some but not others because it's not true to life to have everything wrapped up. </p> <p>I'm going to be so sad when this show ends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2472938 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 14:55:51 +0000 Adira 2472938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: @mfa_lady: I can't believe I'm saying this, because I friggin' hate Edith for what she did to the Drewes, but I hope she gets her happy ending in the last episode! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2472930 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 14:52:46 +0000 mfa_lady 2472930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I know. SO SAD! I'm going to miss it, even though I think that with the exception of this past week's episode, the last couple of seasons have been kind of lame. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2472928 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 14:52:24 +0000 BSB 2472928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: @mfa_lady: What? How are they going to wrap everything up?</p> <p>@Adira: Oh, yeah, Christmas special. I've never watched it while it was on TV. I always binge watched it on demand. First season that I've watched it on TV. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2472924 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 14:50:13 +0000 BSB 2472924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: Noooooooo!!!!! :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2472921 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 14:49:48 +0000 Adira 2472921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Yeah, unfortunately, there's just the March 6th episode left and some behind the scenes episode next week like @mfa_lady: said.</p> <p>I think Sunday's episode was the "season finale" and there's just the "Christmas Special" left to air. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2472916 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 14:45:40 +0000 mfa_lady 2472916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I think it's just the finale. There's some kind of behind-the-scenes special this coming weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2472914 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 14:44:37 +0000 BSB 2472914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I think March 6th is the finale.

I'm most interested in how the servants lived back then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2445762 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 02:06:42 +0000 Mrs tartan 2445762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Panda: some bits do, it was nt nearly as grand as the show makes it look though, was quite run down. Still beautiful though.<br /> Of course cameras are strictly forbidden inside </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2445757 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 01:52:04 +0000 BSB 2445757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Panda: oh, yeah, that would have been horrible if they made us wait. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watching-the-downton-abbey-final-season/page/2#post-2445717 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 00:16:03 +0000 Mrs Panda 2445717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs tartan: did you get to go inside??
