Countdown to the Downton.
Sep. 13th, 2011 05:14 pmFive more days to the second series! That is, if I got to download it on the same day that it's supposed to air in the UK. I haven't been reading any of the spoilers but the fans seem to be excited so I'm excited, too!!
The only thing that would spoil the story for me is Mary and Matthew going their separate ways because that would HURT. So very much. That's the downside of getting too invested in a pairing/story, you'd get crushed if things didn't go your way. But then, the payoff is AWESOME if it did! I love the other would-be couples too but I don't think I'd be too upset if things didn't work out between, say, Sybil and Branson, or Anna and Bates. Okay, maybe a little for Anna and Bates.
I wish they'd give Thomas a boyfriend though, a decent person, not someone like that Duke, and that he's not so mean and bitter all the time.
The book that I'm currently reading, Sally Beauman's The Landscape of Love, reminds me a bit of Downton Abbey, but maybe that's because I can't get DA out of my mind lately lol. Different period of time ( 1967 instead of 1912, the Vietnam war instead of WW1 ) but there were three sisters in the book, their house is called Wyken Abbey and Finn & Dan made me think of Sybil & Branson!
Jayne and Monty and anyone else on my flist who have watched the show, aren't you excited? :DD
