well... how about last night's episode of Downton Abbey **SPOILERS**

I haven't been gaga loving DA but last night's episode was pretty moving. I had been spoiled for Sybil's death so it wasn't a shock. I thought the portrayal of her death and the reactions of all the characters were very well done. Especially so Cora and Violet... to a great extent Edith... and then the staff. Interestingly, watching all the characters face and deal with it, I was the least interested in Mary's character. I just don't find anything to like about the woman and she's the most popular with fans. I guess it's that personality type that keeps me in the small minority of any opinion. I am way more interested in watching Edith than Mary. But then, Mary is really stuck in the role of aristocracy. She's what we would call a 'snoot'. And I have never liked entitled snoots. And I'm about done caring about Bates. This line smacks of a dozen shows that have to have some underlying conspiracy to fuss about. It's a formula and we all know and, to some extent, accept formulas but I'm getting kind of weary with this trend. They are going to have to come up with some truly amazing reason why the guard and the other prisoner care so much about keeping Bates oppressed for me to find this story line satisfying.
