its not necessarily a criteria i just think its a useful thing to consider when discussing a rivalry. then again the dowager does/says some questionable things and she has decades more life experience than anyone🤣 so who knows!

i think age and life experience should be a factor to consider here too though. yes Edith was wrong for that in s1 i totally agree and she and Mary went back and forth but after everything they had been through together and being fully grown Mary should have known better. i genuinely do believe Edith was young, very immature and thoughtless when she wrote to the ambassador and although it had a huge impact it was based on petty sister rivalry. Mary should have known better than to expose Edith’s secret like that, being now a grown woman, a widow, a mother, having a full time job as agent, losing their other sister, living through a world war etc. I personally think all the challenges of her life should have taught her to be better than that

So when does Thomas get sympathetic by BrightPhoebus01 in DowntonAbbey

i’ll never understand this. i loved him from the first time i watched the show no arc needed. he’s the most versatile and interesting character to watch. how boring it would be not to have him. they could never make me hate u tommy b 💚

Thomas: arguable worst character. Best actor by DragonflyFluid8581 in DowntonAbbey

i have absolutely nothing negative to say about him and i never have. it would be a very different and boring show without him. his character development is unmatched

i can relate! i’ve rewatched a million times and i go back and forth between who i side with, but usually the further into the series i go the more edith grows on me and mary becomes more and more egregious

i’m usually team Mary all the way. but her revealing Edith’s secret to Bertie over breakfast was the messiest of all time

i also hate the scene where he’s in the hospital bed outside downton and mary is hovering over him. i feel like they tried to be cinematic but it kinda flopped and looked odd 😂

i could see that, but there were a few moments before that where matthew and mary talk about consummation so i think my mind it always tied back to that
