I realize killing Matthew off was necessary because of the actor not renewing his contract, but honestly. Killing off two main characters is just a bit much in one season! It feels like the whole dynamic of the show will change and I hate when it is such a drastic shift.

I love the integrity of Ms. Hughes, Mr. Carson and Isobel. They are so honest and genuine and caring and it just makes me feel like modern day life has lost something!

I’m wondering if Daisy will move to the farm. I hope Patrick/Peter comes come and stops Edith from getting involved with the married editor. She need to check out the story about the wife. Mary will find love again I’m sure.

Glad Bates is out of jail. I wonder if Anna and Bates will figure out O’Brain’s secret. It’s in the back of their minds now. Maybe the butler and housekeeper get together. I can’t believe that supplier was using Mrs. P for her cooking. I wish they would also bring back the maid who worked for the telephone company now. She and Tom have something in common.

Hope Isobel can stay strong after Matthew’s death and the Dowager will still have some of the best lines. It will be interesting to see how Lord and Lady G. deal with more and more of the changing world. It’s seems that the guys in the downstairs are putting things behind them.

I’m still in shock with how it ended – I’m not sure I can watch the next season – I’m so sad. :( But I’ll probably cave – how could I truly resist?

I LOVE Downton and I love this recap and all the comments. Two things I’ve read about next season is that Mrs. O’Brien will not be back, and there will be a love interest for Lady Mary. It will be interesting how it all plays out. I certainly hope there is some happiness for Lady Edith, at last. Thanks for the post, Kate!
