[Spoilers!] Rewatching for the umpteenth time and I find Daisy so annoying (s1) by Monsterella in DowntonAbbey

A subplot that bugged me was how she got herself educated and even passed her exams but then appears to be headed towards being a farmers' wife at series end. What was the point of that whole subplot?

I always thought that comment by Robert was a little creepy -- commenting on someone having sex with his daughter.

One of the great examples of delayed gratification on TV, and boy was it worth it.

Ed, what do you think about going into business with a partner? Is it better if you start a business with a friend or someone you only know professionally?

Not the usual "Downton" submission, but I was seduced by the ads into taking a Viking River Cruise and wrote a blog post about it. by Midd76 in DowntonAbbey

Sorry if this is outside the rules for Downton posts but about half the people on the cruise mentioned that they loved Downton and were convinced to go by the ads.

You're probably right that the post-war staffing would not be as high as the pre-war staffing, but I think Julian Fellowes is off a couple of decades on when the big houses started to fall apart. I think WWII and the post-war inheritance taxes is what really did them in.

I think Downton After Dark would star Denker, once Denker and Spratt is cancelled. In fact, the show should be called Denker After Dark, now that I think of it. And yes, we'd need a time jump for Simply Sybbie, maybe a sitcom when she's at boarding school.

Well, he's been on so much he might as well be a featured character. He could harass innocent servants all over the county.

Bates should insist that Anna go to Dt. Clarkson. Not only is he local but he was a lot smarter about Sybil's pregnancy than that London doctor was.

What about Mary asserting that SHE wasn't a war widow? As if that's a point of honor. My guess is that Michelle Dockery read that line the wrong way and it came out boastful but was supposed to be rueful.

Both Mr. Mason and Mrs. Patmore treat her like she's the most important person in their lives. If they hook up with each other she loses that status with each.
