George Clooney...

 

[Mindful]

I've just finished watching the last series.

Clooney was a cameo thing for Christmas.

I have been trying to avoid spoilers but have learned some by accident just by being on twitter as this season aired in the UK.

It is already in a preview for the season, but twitter lit up with spoilers when the episode with the fire at Downton aired.

The way things are progressing, by season 8 the Earl of Grantham will have been caught watching porn on his 52" plasma TV in the Great Library while Cora snorts a line of coke off the screen of her i4S.

Super excited for the return of this show. After every episode my grandma calls me to discuss what happens and get my thoughts. It's really cute. lol

As long as the 100 year old dog is still with them

I saw an interview with Julian Fellowes which made me doubt the series would reach the Second World War even if PBS wanted it to keep running indefinitely and the cast was amiable.

I love Elizabeth McGovern in this series:

I mostly hearts Maggie Smith. I hope in the series finale she reveals that she is really Minerva McGonagall, pulls out a magic wand, and starts zapping people in the backside.

 

[Dekster]

I am so royally pissed right now. As soon as the season premiere started, my GDF cable froze up. Why they cannot give me TV but can give me weather/headlines on their screensaver thing is beyond me. Bastards Bastards Bastards Bastards. The record light is on the DVR so I don't know if it is recording it or not.

The damned dog is dead.

Get over it.

The damned dog is dead.

Get over it.

That was one of the twitter spoilers. There were some pretty funny comments like "Of course they had to kill off the dog. It had the same name as a terrorist group."

 

[Dekster]

BTW, I saw an interview with one of the cast members and apparently everybody hated working scenes with that dog because it would never do what it was supposed to do, so I think they were having some insider humor with that.

I've never watched Downton Abbey even though it's right in my wheelhouse of the sort of shows I like,

so one of these days I get to do a 5 season binge.

I would love to do that. Not sure if Netflix has it.

That is how I started watching it--a season 1-3 marathon. I have really become dependent on marathons, DVR, and on demand for my TV. Otherwise, I just park it on whatever channel has the best background noise.

lol, it's free now on Amazon Prime, which I didn't realize, and I have Amazon Prime. so I'm binge-ready any time I feel like jumping in.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Amazon prime btw is such a good deal that I am certain it's not going to last, lol.
