I thin...I couldn't have said it better myself.<br /><br />I think it'd be neat if Tom and Edith got together, but that's kinda gross I guess. Tom is my favorite after Violet. She MAKES THE SHOW.<br /><br />Mary is spoiled and selfish and mean and oh my gosh - such a stunning beauty. I could look at her forever, she is amazing. (Though the flapper girl hair cut, grrrr.)<br /><br />Not much more to add, you nailed it as I feel. Love your book gift. That's a sweet and thoughtful present from your hubs!<br /><br />Hugs.<br /><br />Michele M./ Finch Resthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971943265328093734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-51039315354352444052015-03-05T19:47:04.549-05:002015-03-05T19:47:04.549-05:00I thoroughly enjoyed the last show even with a spo...I thoroughly enjoyed the last show even with a spoiler.

Agree Edith deserves respect from Mary the next season! Tom & baby Sybil (Sybi) are very cute and I too loved when they joined hands. Although Mary was reluctant to take Edith's hands -- why is she so mean to Mary? I hope Edith shines brightly next season. Unbelievable Mary was in the mud!

Having to wait a year to carry on with the drama is pure madness - why can't this be a weekly show year round? LOL Don't we all wish! <br />I've read that Sir Anthony Hopkins is going to come aboard next season but this could just be a rumour.<br />Well, it was wonderful while it lasted!Judith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-33953026847339245742015-03-03T13:37:59.699-05:002015-03-03T13:37:59.699-05:00Please let us Downton lovers know what you think o...Please let us Downton lovers know what you think of the book you got. I didn't not know about them. I have loved Downton from the very beginning. This last season I have enjoyed their clothes the most. Wasn't Mary's red coat she wore to the jail the prettiest coat? And the hats! It's always nice to have something to look forward to and time goes by so fast that it will be next January before we know it. Right now I can only "think spring"!Takejoynanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12571853703971699591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-42883739350123127902015-03-03T13:26:27.564-05:002015-03-03T13:26:27.564-05:00You summed up the season and the final night very...You summed up the season and the final night very well. I really enjoyed season five. It gives us a lot to think about waiting for season six. A lot of thoughts are running around in my head for what could happen next season.

A new baby for Anna and Bates... a new lover for Mary, and not just any lover. Tom is the only one who can soften her heart and tear down the barriers she erects - just as Matthew did... A wedding celebration for Carson and Hughes... Someone to love and care for Edith and Marigold. No wedding is necessary, just knowing one is imminent will suffice... Alfred reentering the picture to give Daisy assistance in advancement in the culinary world... And seeing Violet and Isobel enjoying their sunset years sipping tea and reminiscing about life together would be perfect. relevanttealeafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147226538911605568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-88220256943894618732015-03-03T10:21:59.493-05:002015-03-03T10:21:59.493-05:00I sure got everything straight after this review! ...I sure got everything straight after this review! The actor that played Lord Sinderby's butler was the butler in the House of ? in Little Dorret. He was scarey their too. I think we have watched season 5 at least 3 times now - maybe 4.

Rose has redeemed herself for me also - I like the two new men - it would be nice for Rose to be happy and the gentlemen sparring with Mary seems to be her equal - love that Violet and Isobel are chums but would love to see more with Violet and the Russian - I thought that perhaps the Princess would off herself and leave the Russian for Violet with all the talk of "this is her last happy night" oh well maybe in the next session - I also thought that Robert would die with all the heart thing going on - maybe more to come with that in the next session! If Robert goes - Mary takes over - Carson and Hughes opens the Bed and Breakfast with Mrs. Patmore goes with them to cook??

Anna and Bates are one, and how hard heart Mary is to Edith all the time. She is exhibiting some very un-lady like behavior toward Edith and it makes her look like a witch. I will be sorry to see it end but I'm sure to buy the full set one day so that I may visit my Downton, 'friends' any time I wish! Thank you for the review.
