layne67I laughed out loud ( in absolute delight and total agreement ) when I saw someone at one of the Downton Abbey comms saying that those who like Sir Richard Carlisle do so because of Ser Jorah Mormont. Yes, yes and YES! I still ship Matthew/Mary but Sir Richard has been growing on me ( partly because I kept thinking of him as the gallant Ser Jorah whom I adore ) and what with the relationship between Matthew and Mary seemingly going nowhere, I think Sir Richard could be good for Mary.
And oh, I almost cracked a rib laughing when someone asked whether Sir Richard had ever confused Lady Sybil with Kit Harrington lolol.
I'm not really into the fandom per se but I peeked in at the comms now and then, just a peek because I can't bear to read any of the character bashings that all fandoms inevitably have.
And I daren't even do that at the Game of Thrones comms because I really, really don't want to see people saying that they hate, say, Jon Snow. And I don't want to know about Jon vs Robb, if any. I hope there aren't any but you never know!
Anyway, back to Downton Abbey. I still love the show but series 2 unfortunately is not as magical, to me, as the first one. Oh it had its wonderful moments of course, William's deathbed marriage to Daisy for instance, that had me crying like a baby. And I love that moment when Mary sang with Edith at the piano and Matthew came back, gorgeously resplendent in his uniform - that was a heart-soaring moment for me.
But that last scene of Matthew saying that his relationship with Mary was cursed, I was CRUSHED ( thank goodness forSer Jorah Sir Richard ). And don't let me get started on the Earl's would be affair with Jane. What *were* they trying to do to him, character assasination?
Still love the show and I'm so looking forward to the Christmas special, but let's just say I don't see series 2 winning any Emmys like it did with series 1.
And I do hope by the time they get Mary and Matthew on the right track ( if ever ), it won't be too little too late. As it is, I fear too much damage had been done for that particular pairing.
