Evergreen State Sue Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 What time on Sunday nights? Is it England time? Aren't they ahead of us? I'm on the westcoast of the U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Smith Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I just saw episode 4 Non specific spoiler (Sorry for Ipad uses, but highlight) Something bad happens to someone. If you find you are the type of person who likes warnings about TV shows then please PM me and I'll give away the ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evergreen State Sue Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I saw episode 4 too! All I can say is, "NO!" I don't like how that story line is headed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xuzi Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 What a tragic episode. :( (and perhaps the first tragic one that didn't involve a death). I too am nervous about where this story line could lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Smith Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I don't want to be blamed for spoilers so ... it's in white. I want them to fix it. (as much as it can be fixed) right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelli Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 It was a really hard episode to watch. :crying: I look forward to discussing it as well once some others have chimed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I have quietly following this thread. I love the show and have watched like a hawk for every new episode. Usually it is one of the highlights of my week. Tonight left me shaking. I have never been so disturbed by this show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaffodilDreams Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 This latest episode left me horrified and sickened. I wish the writers hadn't gone there. Also, I cannot stand the new lady's maid (why, oh why did they bring her back?! ick!) and wish Branson would stay far, far away from her. There's a lot I do like about this season so far, but I find the above two story lines hugely disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 All these comments about disturbing have me concerned. Dd and I have been watching the links on here. Is this something that I will not want her to see? How horrifying is it, and in what way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this something that I will not want her to see? How horrifying is it, and in what way? I'm going to put a spoiler in white, so you can know what happened if you wish, without giving it away to the rest of the board. Spoiler (highlight to see it): One of the characters is raped. You see the violence leading up to it, but not the actual rape itself, and then you see the character's reaction afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SewLittleTime Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 This episode was tough, and I saw it coming. It didn't make it any easier to stomach. Lots of drama packed into that one episode. Lord Grantham continues to show he is a buffoon. He has no business sense at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this something that I will not want her to see? How horrifying is it, and in what way? I don't have a teen but I really, really would not watch that episode with my daughter...teen or not. It was disturbing and I wouldn't have been emotionally OK with that episode as a teen. YYMV. I can pm you with the topic/storyline of concern or you can google a synopsis. I'm sure it would be mentioned as it was a shocking part of the episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Just watched the episode. Heartbreaking. And I can't stand that returning character (Lady G's lady's maid). Blech. Nothing but trouble there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuzi Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 I just realized something... Spoiler!! highlight to read: I think the character who raped Anna is very likely to return, considering how his master sort of hit it off with Lady Mary.

Chelli Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Is anyone else fearful that (highlight to read): Anna will become pregnant from the rape and will have to pass the baby off as Bates? That's where I'm afraid they are going with this particular story line. Also can't stand the new maid. Branson should know better by now. I was so glad to hear Lady Mary laugh again though.

I really like Branson. I hope he can somehow wise up to the maid situation and overcome his insecurities of not fitting in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeacherZee Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I finished watching about two hours ago and I still feel really sick to my stomach. It really should have come with a trigger warning. And that isn't a particular trigger for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the thought has crossed my mind. I really hope they don't do that. I want a quickly wrapped up, justice is served resolution to this. Thoughts that might give too much away, so highlight if you wish to read on: Even though I could tell the guy was bad news, I didn't think Downton was going there. I really, really thought Bates would come looking for Anna just in the nick of time and toss the slimeball out on his butt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that isn't a particular trigger for me. I agree. I think it's because over the past three seasons the writers have developed that character so much that the viewers have really gotten to know her so it was like watching it happen to a family member or a close friend. It definitely left me shaken much more than that kind of thing (like in a movie) usually does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyontheFarm Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Thanks for the heads up ladies. As a survivor of that specific type of crime, it is better for me to know ahead of time. I will plan to watch it, but with my husband by my side and my children safely tucked in their beds away from the computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thank you for saying that, I have been driving myself mad wondering why I am having such an incredibly hard time with it. But yes, if feels like it has happened to a close friend.

Seasider Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I am really disturbed by this plot twist. I could see this happening to one of the lesser maids, but not an established one. I'm guessing the actress playing Anna wanted some excitement. But I think the writers made a big mistake with this one. I can't believe that anyone is going to enjoy watching what she and mr bates are now going to have to suffer through. I believe I'll be using my fast forward feature on this part of the storyline as well as Tom and the evil maid. Fortunately, the Simply June blog I view through also linked an article about the dazzling actress who is coming in to play the new nanny and Tom's love interest. Til Edna gets the boot, that part of the storyline will get ff'd. Can't believe I'm saying this, but....ain't nobody got time for that!
