Xuzi Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Anybody watching? Episode 1 aired last night, and you can find it some places online. This link worked for me tonight, hopefully it'll still work in the morning. I think they did an excellent job opening up the new season and dealing with the grief and adjustments needing to be made in the family with Matthew's death. (And I'm wanting to try to put some finger waves in my hair now. They were all over the place in this episode. :lol: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DianeW88 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 My tunnel bear is working and ready to go so I can watch the UK airing right here in the good ol' US of A. I just haven't had time yet. Tomorrow though. Although I'm still grieving over Matthew. Branson is going to have to work over time to keep me happy.

Word Nerd Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I was kind of disappointed with this episode but will stick with it. I wasn't sure I would bother with season 4 after the Christmas episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xuzi Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 So, those who've watched it, what did you think? I can't believe they got rid of yet another character right in the first episode, although I can't say I'm too sad to see that person go. Thomas looks like he might be a bit more of a softy this season, keeping an eye on little Sybil. And Michelle Dockery's performance... WOW!

AmyontheFarm Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Here's my question, Did they really just jump like through an entire pregnancy, delivery and death of a spouse in 2.2 seconds? I went back to watch Season 3 and then started Season 4 and I'm thinking they missed a Season 3.5! How can they do that??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slartibartfast Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 The time has always passed quickly. WWI was what? One season? The Titanic sank before the first episode, that was in 1912.

Word Nerd Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I'm glad they skipped over the initial reactions to Matthew's death and started where they did with Mary still mourning but ready to begin coming back to the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I think they picked it up at just the right spot. Close enough that they're still dealing with the heavy emotions of the tragedy, but not so close that it's raw and all-consuming. It looks like Lord Grantham is going to be a bit of a jerk again this season, however well intentioned, and I'm a bit miffed at who they brought back onto the staff. I didn't like her the first time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but much of the appeal of this show is that it's a 90+ years ago period piece. If they keep blowing through a decade every 3 seasons, there'll be no more Downton way too soon!

I'm not a fan of the young cousin either. I think Cora was very composed when she confronted the nanny. I totally would not have been nearly so composed or polite about it.

Evergreen State Sue Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Thanks so much for the link! I had a cousin/sister retreat this summer and we spent much of our time watching all the episodes of DA from seasons 2-3. We were bemoaning about how we had to wait until January. Now I was able to see this first episode of season 4 and share the link with them. My initial thoughts . . . I didn't care for how long Mary was grieving and not being motherly to George. I thought it was very insightful that she thought she might not be a good mother. On the other hand, how loving was her grandmother! I never saw that side of her before.

SewLittleTime Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Watched episode 2. Ugh! I just can't help but loathe Barrow. He's so slimy. Maggie Smith had some great lines in this episode. I just love her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 No kidding, Thomas needs some new tricks. The whole slime-the-Bates is so first season. Not sure what to think of Cora, she has much more history with Anna, she should have recognized that such petty jealousy is out of character for Anna. She should have confronted Anna directly. Lord Grantham sure is acting like a toad. I wish some really nice fellow would come along for Daisy, someone entirely new to the story, not just a change of heart of one of the current house guys.

Seasider Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Oh, and dressing Rose up as a maid is NOT keeping her out of trouble! Come on, Anna!This was my first reaction, too. But I got to thinking about the alternatives. Couldn't tell the suitor Rose was really an aristocrat - blackmail/scandal. Couldn't tell him Rose wasn't home - he'd just come back another time. It could have backfired big time, but to have Rose tell him that she was engaged and stop further interest seemed to have the least consequential outcome. Anna actually made a good decision about what to do. I do think some time in the future we'll see this guy bump into Lady Rose on the street or somewhere else and then there will be trouble.
