Watching Downton Abbey! Thoughts on the first three episodes!

(Preface: the chances of my opinions changing drastically about who I dislike is to be expected.)

Though I do think we can all agree that the entire show should end with an awesome quip from Violet )

Syyybil!!!! Baby Sybil is the best in S2. (Not so much in S2. :'/) It's basically Edith who is the bitchiest one because she's the previous life of Jan Brady. Mary's just pissed because there's a bit of Cersei in her in terms of the fact that she can't be her father's real heir.

OMG my baby love Sybil is so precious.

I can see that Mary is bitter for Cersei-like reasons, and I can see why Edith is bitter because she is constantly overlooked in favor of her sisters, but omg, the sheer cruelty displayed by them actually shocked me.

I'm hoping that there will be more to this than what I've seen so far, because liking characters that do bad things is normal for me (holla atcha girl, Cylons, Lannisters, etc.) but dude, these girls are out of control.

Believe me, I know. (And this includes every character Michelle Forbes has ever played.) ;)

Believe it or not, Michelle Forbes has actually played some non-evil characters! I know this because I've watched like... 85% of her filmography. Sometimes she plays nice ladies! And then sometimes she plays psychos.

But she's always amazing.

Haha! Oh I know. I think I first met her in Kalifornia, that crazy film with Brad Pitt and David Duchovny. But it was fabulous when she was at Dragon*Con and literally people were afraid of her and she was like "I'M A NICE VEGETARIAN LADY WHO LOVES DOGS! DO NOT FEAR ME!" Lololol.

I have seen Kalifornia like, nine times because it's always on TV and I love it because it's so batshit. Poor Michelle Forbes is the SOLE VOICE OF REASON in that entire movie and she gets so screwed over. (For a truly special time, watch her Lifetime movie 'Unthinkable.' It is flawlessly terrible.)

I am dying to see her at a con! I have heard nothing but lovely things about her and she seems so cool.

Omg I'd have sought out that movie but THE INTERNET IMPLODED. :'(((

She was sooooo glorious at the con. They put her in this tiny ass room in the Trek Trak to do a retrospective career panel and she walked around with a mic and was like 2 feet away from everyone and we all were just O_O mesmerized.

It doesn't exist online! I managed to find it on TV one glorious day and it is truly genius.

I think I would actually die at that kind of panel. I admire her so, so much and I love her in every single thing she's ever done because she is so obscenely talented. I JUST WANT TO SEE HER AND FLAIL POLITELY AT HER.

Haha, what would you do if she was on a panel with Tricia Helfer? WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH YOURSELF?!

I LITERALLY CANNOT FATHOM SUCH A THING. I WOULD PROBABLY JUST DIE RIGHT THERE.

LOLOLOL. This was a great chat. ;) Hope to see you at the con again!
