I can’t even be interested in the series anymore past Tom and baby Sybil. And they barely get any screen time. Robert and Carson are just insufferable, Clarkson was coerced into lying and emotionally manipulating Cora so she would forgive Robert (because God forbid any is angry with Robert, God forbid anyone call him out on his bad choices, God forbid Robert has to apologize for anything, God forbid Cora grieves properly), the whole “Daisy likes Alfred who likes Ivy who likes Jimmy who is fighting off advances from Thomas who is taking O’Brien’s horrible advice” thing downstairs is so convoluted, Ethel is uninteresting (seriously, her cooking a meal? that’s her big plotline?). I’m only around for Edith and Tom. And even then, Fellowes is seeming to foreshadow (as delicately as hitting the viewers with a bag of bricks) that Tom will give baby Sybil to Mary and Matthew. I know this week he told Matthew that he will never be separated from baby Sybil as she is all he has left of his wife, but Fellowes threw in a scene where Tom gives Mary and Matthew the baby to hold and he looks at them a bit strangely. And Fellowes has no concept of character consistency, so anything Tom says this week is moot. Fellowes even already did this storyline with Ethel! Like, two episodes ago! But repeating storylines hasn’t stopped him before. I hate how I have to legitimately worry about these things. All because Fellowes cannot make his characters act consistently.
Anyways, I think that’s it for me on commenting about Downton.But maybe I’ll put up a review of World of Downton Abbey. My copy came in the other day. And maybe I’ll do one on Chronicles and such. I dunno right now.
