4kiddies Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Such a great episode and crappy situation all rolled into one.... Nice to see Mary smile again and LOVED the Dowager Countess!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alenee Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 LOVE the Dowager Countess! I could replay her comments repeatedly and belly laugh every time. My favorite from last night was when she asked what would they talk about with the opera singer and her response to what all human beings have in common. SO funny!

trinchick Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Great episode! I do think Mary's flirtation is coming on a bit quickly, but I was already tired of grieving Mary at the end of last week so I guess I can't have it both ways.

zoobie Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Cora is stupid. Anna better not be pregnant from that. (I think Episode 3 aired last night. 1 and 2 were back-to-back last week. :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 She needs to tell Bates! Let him have a go at the creep! Yes, very glad to see Mary smiling again! It bugs me how little they have to do with raising their own small children. Seems both Mary and Tom rarely see their babies. But I guess that's the culture then.

ChristusG Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Barrows sneakiness drives me batty!!! Always stirring up trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica in OR Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I'm wondering if they'll clear up Anna's situation without Bates, maybe through Gillingham coming to see Mary again. Maybe Anna will tell Mary? Guess there always has to be some gut-churning vigor thrown in somewhere. I had a similar reaction to Nanny West's comment to Sybil in the first episode. The whole thing had a Gosford Park vibe going on. Erica in OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erica in OR Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Also wondering what Edna's up to. Did she put something in the drink? Erica in OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minuway Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 My husband said the same thing - "did she Roofie up that drink?!?" Where would she get that? lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I think Episode 3 aired last night. 1 and 2 were back-to-back last week. :) ) I am thinking this is where they will take the "Anna" situation. Every time I watch this show, I cannot get over the fact that they needed people to help them undress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It bugs me how little they have to do with raising their own small children. Seems both Mary and Tom rarely see their babies. But I guess that's the culture then. These were my thoughts. I assume that we will see an Anna pregnancy from the rape, and it upsets me SO MUCH. I'm still very mad about all of this. Besides that horribleness, this episode was far and a way better than the premiere, which was a total snoozer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 SPOILER.... I found the scene with Anna to be horribly traumatic to watch/hear. I have not been a victim of rape myself but I know victims. The scene in Mrs. Hughes' office was SO SAD. I love Anna and I want Bates to get that guy. Ugh! The way he said good night to them at the end like everything was fine was CREEPY and made me so angry! Also, the new guy flirting with Mary is so cute. I always that matthew was rather petulant and not my type. And I love that Mr. Greyson caught Sampson cheating at cards and beat him at his own game.

Liz CA Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 No zippers! Yes, thousands of little tiny buttons and usually on the back.... However, Lord Grantham made no great effort to unbutton his own shirt. He just stood there and waited for Bates to get going. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just stood there and waited for Bates to get going. :) The scenes between Matthew and Mr. Mosely did a good job of highlighting the relationship I thought. Matthew thought it was silly, which offended Mr. Mosely. Eventually he gets more comfortable with the roles and understands it's the estate owner's job to provide jobs for the community, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDays Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Ugh. I'm with Heather on this one, I was just sick about it. Ye gods, had I known about that scene I would have skipped it. I kept hoping someone would come wandering through and put a stop to it. That was awful. And yes, I'm sure something terrible and scandalous will result from it. :( The rest of the episode, yes, I enjoyed. I hope Mary finds happiness, I don't think anything was over the top there. Robert is such a dolt... "What will we talk about?!?" LOL. I'm still not too sure on Edith's guy, something seems a bit fishy there but we'll see. And poor Tom... what did the scheming maid do to him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think of other things that can be turned into a job. I suppose I think I don't need someone slide the shirt over my head - not yet anyways. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
