Downton Abbey Season 6 - PBS broadcast

Silly quiz. Which Downton Abbey Character Are You?: http://www.buzzfeed.com/justinabarc...racter-are-you?utm_term=.jfJkmR9B4#.wse2XyMkQ

it's fun. but very simple. i played with it a little and found that if you put for example 3 set choices, like "Fox" for animal, "Mr. Ripley" for film, "Black" for color, then NO matter what other 4 choices you make, you still get "Thomas". Same for all other characters, there 3-4 answer choices which mark a certain character, and the other 3-4 answers don't matter.

I hate to blow the penguin = Carson theory but I was playing around with it and got Carson with the peacock as animal.

I also entered Orange, Remains of the Day, quote about the gun and Guinness along with Peacock that generated Carson.

Any other 'Carsons' add in any of the above choices?

We'll crack this yet.... Lol!

 

[centerstage01]

I got Violet. I look forward to dropping witty bons mots and wielding considerable influence over future Prime Ministers.

 

[nlyoung]

This is the second quiz I've done and I've gotten Violet both times

And I chose penguin

 

[Coco]

Changed my movie, my quote and my song and got Cora. Phew!

Finally caught up on season 6 ahead of tomorrow's finale. As much as Mary was a total bitch to Edith I completely bawled at the graveyard scene. I never truly bought into her and Henry but at least he was an improvement over lord Gillingham.

Sprat as Cassandra Jones- I kinda had a feeling "she" would be a dude but I wasn't expecting that!

Lord I hope no one gets killed off tomorrow (the Dowager especially). Time for the series to end but I'm still a bit sad about it.

mazel tov!

As much as Mary was a total bitch to Edith I completely bawled at the graveyard scene.

I don’t know how many people took a note, given Mary is no angel, but Edith provoked Mary into bitch-mode; it was quite obvious that Mary at this point is rejecting Henry and initiating their break-up, and yet Edith intentionally stated that Henry dumped Mary and that is the cause of her bad mood. Mary paid her back, which sort of make sense, given their history.

 

[Coco]

But the payback soooooooooooooooooooooooo did not fit the crime, but then again, nothing justified Edith's letter to the Turkish Embassy.

Edith is also somewhat passive-aggressive, at times....

 

[VGThuy]

They both bring out the worst in each other. I find that separately they're great until a storyline calls for them to be unlikeable.

All through that scene I was going "Edith, are you stupid? SHUT UP SHUT UP don't you know by now NOT to bait your sister?" In this case, the retaliation might kinda-sorta have been overkill (but only because Edith should have listened to her mother and aunt and fessed up as soon as it was clear Bertie was serious) but then Edith's stunt with the Turkish ambassador was nasty as well. (He knew Pamuk had died, he did not need the gory details, and Edith flat-out tells Mary he deserved to know Pamuk died "in the arms of a slut." So really, "bitch" is sort of an improvement in their communication...)

 

[IceAlisa]

Violet.

Yeah and I feel like as the series went on the writers made the dynamic more one sided- early on Edith gave it as good as she got but lately Mary was the nastier of the two. It was refreshing to see them actually have a nice moment together before the wedding.

I got Carson

 

[PRlady]

I haven't read this thread in a month because I missed three episodes while in Israel. Yay for the current marathon, but what a pill Carson is!

 

[kittyjake5]

Here we go! Got my tissues ready

 

[cygnus]

There's a #%$*& Amber alert interrupting the show- it's been going on for 15 minutes now. I have no problem with a short interruption for this, but it doesn't need to go on all evening. I'm sorry this happened, bit it's 6 hours away from here, and people in their homes watching Downton Abbey are not out on the streets.

Okay, figured out how to get rid of it- I hope they find the child.

 

[Sylvia]

 

[kittyjake5]

Loved it!!!!

 

[Coco]

Hard to believe it's over.

 

[PRlady]

Awwww.

 

[Matryeshka]

That was so good. I'm so glad Edith and Anna got to be happy. And that Daisy got a really unflattering hair cut.

 

[Lara]

Happy/satisfied but sad it's over - which I guess is what Fellowes was aiming for. Downton will be missed!

 

[Cachoo]

Since Julian Fellowes wrote both "Gosford Park" and "Downton Abbey I present an alternative last episode for one character:

Henry Talbot has an American investor while he raced and in his new business venture. It is none other than Morris Weissman, last seen in Gosford (played again by Bob Balaban) closeted Hollywood director and producer who visits and hires Barrow as his butler at his palatial estate in Hollywood. Morris has many pool parties during the day and enjoys Hollywood nights during the roaring 20's. Barrow realizes he is not alone in the world and finds satisfying sex, love and a great tan. He even makes appearances in a few silent films. And he keeps abreast of Downton through a series of letters with Baxter. He is finally understood.

Wish I'd known how to get rid of it! I missed a lot of the show. And I am also 6 hours away and unable to do anything about a missing child. I do hope someone finds him soon. Not the way I wanted to end the series.

 

[manhn]

I really enjoyed the last episode. I'm quite pleased, generally. A bit tidy, but oh well.

Also, Allen Leech wishing me thanks for watching the show...OMG, he is so hot! Why did they stuff him up with padding on the show!?!?

 

[my little pony]

i'm only sorry that edith didnt marry several episodes ago so i could have had some edith free episodes.

loved violet and isobel and isobel's geezer love. i only wish i could have seen that horrid daughter in law find out larry wasn't dying. and my personal favorite, evil butler.com laughs last!

 

[Allskate]

Ugh. My sister called during the show. I missed the wedding and Anna having the baby and who knows what else. Is there going to be a repeat?

I'll say: They paired almost everyone up in the show and broadly hinted at relationships to come. It might be fun in a few years if they advanced the show five or ten years and revisited Downton then. I'm sure there will have been births, deaths and the challenges leveled by the Depression. Or return to it twenty years from now when the children are young adults during WWII. As long as they have good writers and stars who are willing to return it might be entertaining to see Downton through generations of this family.

.... yeap! suddenly many folks would wish they never left service, there is food and bed in a castle, rather than locked door of a factory....

What a cheezy super-happy ending.... BBC outdone Hollywood...... Glad the puppy is happy and healthy to the end. Will miss watching so many decent and well mannered people, and looking at the Estate.

I thought he padded up all by himself.
