I have watched it twice and loved it!!! Cheered like a loon when Matthew lumped Carlyle one and when Mary said yes!! Wailed like a banshee when sexy old Bates was found guilty.....Anna's bottom lip was on top quivering form again. I was a tad disappointed that it was Sybil and not Anna who turned out to be pregnant.... Loved Lady G's response to the broken vase!!!!
Hated both Lord Hepworth and Marigold the 'maid'.....poor Lady Rosamund
Agree that Daisy could end up the benefactor in her new 'Dad's' will....hope they don't take the storyline down any creepy routes. Glad she has got her promotion....and very glad that the nasty Marigold is not there any more to lead her astray.
Gutted Thomas is the new valet....good to see Miss O'B have a bit of a pop at him though! Can't believe he didn't twig that the dog must have gone when she didn't bark at her name being called when they were right outside the shed!!!! Tis good that the upstairs lot can see right through him though...excluding another lapse from Lord G that is!!
Didn't like the ouija board bits...esp the silly 'message' from Lavinia blessing M&M....just didn't sit right in the whole atmosphere of the show and felt a bit contrived. Still....am so very happy that we have the ending we wanted.....and lots of scenes with the scrummy Matthew in them!!!! Loved their scenes at the shoot....that was some serious foreplay!!!!
Missed Sybil and Branson as well....suppose she will be bought home to have the baby in series 3....hope their relationship works when they return and that Lord G accepts the marriage....I reckon there may be a lot of focus on the integration of Branson into the family! I hope Lady Edith does finally get here man as well....both her and Mary were knocking on the doors of spinsterhood for women of their generation so it would be nice to see them all settled.....Sir Anthony was only shot in the arm so I assume the rest of him is still working, so why she would nothing but a nursemaid is beyond me!!!
Hope series three brings freedom for Bates, marriage for M&M and Lady Edith & Anthony, a healthy baby for Sybil and Tom and probably a whole lot of scandal for Mary! We will also be treated to more stunning costumes and I hope we can look forward to seeing Matthew looking very dapper and sexy! Mind you...Bates managed to make the prison garb look fabulous, didn't he??!!
