woop woop,  update time...!

it's going to be a short one as i'm still at work, hehe.  i'm not posting as often as i'd like to on LJ as i keep getting distracted.  these days, fic writing is getting lost in the midst of Downton Abbey fangirling and squeeing at Doctor Who's return.  OMG the next DW episode is going to frighten the shit out of me,

Edith is secretly awesome, and I totally agree, it’s great to see her getting a bit more of the limelight. I wasn’t too sure when they brought Anthony Strallan back in whether it would really work, but now I kind of think it does…even if I have this horrible suspicion tonight’s episode won’t end well for them. D: Whatever happens, I’m sort of hoping she’ll be the one who ends up with the power to save Downton. Despite what happened in the first series, by now I think she’s earned the chance to have that!

I’m always kind of suspicious of Bates. I mean, when your wife says “you didn’t kill your previous wife”, I’m pretty sure the answer is meant to be “no” if you’re innocent, not “how can you be so sure?”. Yeah. I’m kind of hoping expecting that to be the big reveal after he gets released: just for him to go “yeah, well actually...”. It’d totally screw with everyone’s minds!

That bit with Mrs. Hughes and Carson last week pretty much broke my heart! (You know, that little bit more after the Dowager Countess was all serious and like “my husband wasn’t lost, he died” and...just... D: !!! ) I’m kind of surprised about Dr. Clarkson too. He really probably should’ve considered another career after the whole “you’ll never walk again...for the rest of this episode” moment. Isis could easily take over. I mean, the dog pretty much hasn’t aged since 1912- I think it’s safe to say it’s made a medical breakthrough and discovered a source of immortality...

It always makes me feel kind of old when I can't get the hang of things quickly, but then again I've been on LJ for about 8 years and I still can't manage everything. XD I'll have to branch out once I get a spare five minutes.

I haven't watched yesterday's episode yet, but omg, it'd be an amazing twist if Edith flew up in ranks and had the power (and money, from Strallan's side?) to rescue Downton. As much as I love Mary, I think it'd be interesting to see her eat humble pie and grovel to the sister she often took extra care to bully.

Haha I know!! Bates is supposed to be this elusive, mysterious guy and maybe in series 1 he was; but nowadays, he's just coming across as irritating with his love for vague and mind screwy answers. I wouldn't put it past him to have killed Vera, and I kind of want him to have done it, but then I think I'd be so angry with him and how he used and tricked everyone back at the Abbey.

Good point about Isis...! Maybe she swallowed a philosopher's stone or is secretly a Homunculus observing the foolish lives of humans. (Too much FMAB, sorry - I've actually got round to re-watching it again, woohoo!)

Ugh, LJ is such a mess anyway, I wouldn't measure anything against it. My journal still has its weird glitch where it bunches up paragraphs even though I tell it not to so I have to have a strong cup of coffee with me each time I go to post beastly story chapters XD
