the congratulations are really helping today

[rikibeth]

because I am in such a bad mood over Les Mis (FUCK YOU TOM HOOPER) and Downton Abbey (FUCK YOU JULIAN FELLOWES) that you would not even believe.

So yes. Trying to regain my good mood, and it helps a lot. Thank you, friends.

I want to freaking gut Julian Fellows!!!!

Goddammit, if Dan Stevens wanted off the show, they could have invented an Ongoing Legal Problem with the bankrupt Canadian railroad that ate all of Cora's money, sent Matthew to sort it out thinking it would take two weeks at most, and then have him be Unexpectedly Detained, and he'd be off the show but NOT DEAD DAMMIT.

Also, a friend pointed out that it's too early for Mary to have a boy, because in 18 years he'll be smack in the middle of WWII. Let this one be a girl and the son and heir come along late enough that he'll be SAFELY TOO YOUNG in the next war.

I'm done. Daisy should move in with Mr. Mason, and Thomas should get a job as a hotel concierge and finally get a proper boyfriend. And that accident NEVER HAPPENED.

DONE.

Gah! I hadn't even thought about WWII. Shit shit shit.

I'm concerned because Matthew really was the heart of the show. I can't wait to see how they deal with his death, but oh god it's going to hurt as much next season as seeing his death did watching that episode tonight.

[rikibeth]

Not even watching next season. Tell me if Thomas gets a boyfriend. Or if Daisy moves out. I'll check out an episode for that.

Yeah, I guess they could've Put Him On A Bus... but they probably wanted to end with a Wham Episode, and this seemed like a good way to do it. *shrug*

I never liked him much, TBH. And Mary's a horrible person. I find it difficult to feel bad for her.

[rikibeth]

Fuck Wham Episodes. We had enough and more than enough of that with Sibyl.

[kittenmommy]

Oh God, poor Sybil. She was amazing!

[rikibeth]

She was! GODDAMMIT. Call me if Thomas gets a boyfriend. Otherwise I'm done.

[kittenmommy]

Thomas is a Jerkass and I'd rather see him get what's coming to him than a boyfriend. LOL

[rikibeth]

He's kind of a Jerkass Woobie though. Kind of a schlemazel, actually -- he brings a lot of trouble on himself. BUT IF HE HAD A REAL BOYFRIEND HE WOULDN'T BE SUCH A JERK TO EVERYONE.

And you notice he's done something of a Heel Face Turn lately. The pivot started when he fell out with O'Brien over Alfred and Team Rocket was no more.

Healed by Teh Powah of TWU LUB? Puleeeez!

kittendaddy said basically the same thing (but worded differently, LOL) and to him I said, "Leopards don't change their spots!". ;)
