Carson and Mrs. Hughes *need* to get together!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-572023 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 10:42:04 +0000 fussygal 572023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apparently a lot of TV shows in the UK don't run for a long time and being on a long running show isn't super desirable and actors often leave to pursue "bigger" careers. This, however, does not make this any less painful!</p> <p>I really wish that last week would have been the season finale. It was a much lighter and happier episode with a lot of resolution. Also, did anyone else find it odd that all the other story lines in this episode fizzled out? The new housemaid messing with Branson (oh wait, she's gone)...that creepy guy wanting poor Ms. pattmore for her cooking (oh wait, he's skeezy)...The doctor and Isobel (oh wait, she is playing dumb, or is she??). And can Carson and Mrs. Hughes get together already? I think that would have softened the Matthew blow a teeny bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571987 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 10:29:43 +0000 mrsjyw 571987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>awful ending!! was so pissed, and even more pissed that they only did 3 year contracts with the actors!!! BOOOOOO </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571926 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 10:09:33 +0000 travelgirl1 571926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: yeah that was the Christmas special and final season 3 episode.</p> <p>@lawbee11: @jedeve: Yeah it airs on Christmas Day in the UK. It wasn't quite the burst of festivity that eveyone was expecting though, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571802 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 08:57:59 +0000 lawbee11 571802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: I think they call it the Christmas special because it airs on Christmas Day in the UK. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571790 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 08:48:08 +0000 Bookish 571790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watched the season a while ago, but I'm with ya, that SUCKED! I was so mad that I yelled at my tv for a good five minutes. UGH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571777 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 08:32:38 +0000 jedeve 571777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: boo! I thought there was one more since it wasn't Christmassy. </p> <p>I wonder why they killed off Sybil if they knew Matthew was going to die. I like that Branson is stepping up though. He is more interesting. Cuter too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571774 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 08:30:02 +0000 lawbee11 571774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: That was the Christmas special. No more episodes until season 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571773 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 08:29:14 +0000 lawbee11 571773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: @softcream: I think that's exactly why they did the blood trickle--so that the audience would know he is dead and not wondering if maybe he would survive the crash. Still so sad, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571758 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 08:13:59 +0000 Shutterbug 571758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: was this the 'Christmas special' for season 3, or is there another episode? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571750 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 08:08:31 +0000 bunnylove08 571750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw it coming I'm actually really sad. I really like Matthew. I'm a little upset that they are replacing Matthew with rose </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571728 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 07:45:11 +0000 Andrea 571728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it was an awful ending. Boooo!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571706 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 05:54:40 +0000 travelgirl1 571706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seriously spoiled my Christmas when they did this, lol. But good idea about the getting together with Branson, I hadn't thought of that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571704 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 05:38:03 +0000 jedeve 571704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately they had to because Dan Stevens was leaving. I'm not too torn up about it. I like Matthew but his character was a little boring. I was mad about Sybil though!</p> <p>That's the thing about DA. I don't always like their plot lines, but that's what makes it good. It's not predictable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571682 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 01:57:02 +0000 owlmom 571682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When they killed off Sybil, I was sad. But killing off Matthew just made me angry - far angrier than I should be over something as silly as a tv show! I don't think they've jumped the shark yet, though. At least I hope they haven't. I do wish they would have come up with a different way to create that level of drama. Killing another main character almost seems lazy to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571667 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 00:08:30 +0000 softcream 571667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was still in denial about him dying ... until the blood came pouring out. why??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571666 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 00:07:57 +0000 T-Mom 571666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ran across a spoiler two weeks ago about Dan Stevens so I knew it was coming. I have depressed about it ever since. Matthew was the best thing about DA.. What are they going to do without him. And really.. Why would you want to go anywhere else right now as an actor, if you are already on such a great show? I'm so sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571655 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 23:46:39 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 571655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: I know! And I was just saying how last week was slightly boring and then BAM! Matthew's dead. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571654 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 23:45:28 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 571654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: true, Mary is more interesting when unhappy...it's just so sad! Especially after all that time it took for them to get together...I suppose it's only fitting then that they couldn't stay happy together. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571650 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 23:38:40 +0000 doodlepoodle 571650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally agree that it was way overboard. ESPECIALLY the blood trickle! Wth. I also love the idea of Branson and Mary raising the babies together, that was my first thought! </p> <p>All I can think is how dramatic and up/down this season was! Geez!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571645 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 23:34:49 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 571645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seriously! Killing off two main characters in one season? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571642 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 23:30:15 +0000 Foodnerd81 571642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw it coming as soon as we saw him driving but I still really didn't want it too. I just read a couple of reviews that say it will make the show better-- Mary's storylines are more interesting when she is struggling. But still, can't we just have some happiness without the sadness? I do think the show will be just fine though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-julian-fellowes-da-spoiler-alert#post-571641 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 23:24:19 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 571641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That was a terrible, terrible ending. I understand that Dan Stevens wanted to leave, etc, but seriously, that was just too much. And the trickle of blood just made it extra melodramatic! </p> <p>I say Branson and Mary should get together and raise Sibby and the new baby together. And btw, are they going to name this baby after the deceased parent, too??</p> <p>Too much. I'm nervous we might have just seen DA jump the shark. </p>
