Downton Abbey Open Thread

Dear Bates: How's gaol? Everything still grey? Love, Anna.[Spoilers are telling secrets downstairs herein.]Oh the goings-on at Downton now! And also at Grey Gaol! ("Grey Gaol—where things are grey and also the gruel is grey-flavored!") Anna is sad because Bates is not writing her. And Bates is sad because Anna is not writing him. Immediately, I think that Thomas is in some way intercepting their letters and taking advantage of them as smoking papers, however it works out there's some non-Thomas-related gaol intrigue which i don't totally understand because I am not fluent in gaolmumble. Something something shiv inside a loofah, and also the letters start flowing again. Yay!Meanwhile, back at Downton, The almighty Whoops thinks that Matthew should have a look at Downton's finances, because Matthew "may have good quality ideas." Maybe! Like: Don't invest all of your money in one location! Or: Mayhaps we do not ALL have to put on gemstone-encrusted tiaras to dinner! Matthew is lucky there is a violent revolutionary in the household, so his dirty red-colored communism is just a blushing pink in comparison!Talking about: Tom Branson turns up at Downton's door seeking refuge after he assisted burn lower a castle in Ireland, however got sad as he recognized it had been really someone's home. Appears like we have had a solid contender for that title of The almighty Whoops once old Robert kicks the gold-plated bucket (also is filled with rubies and normally)! Everybody is mad that T-Bone left Sybil, who's an expectant LADY, to look after herself in their flat and then suggest her long ago to Downton by herself. There's a lot yelling about how exactly shitty T-Bone would be to abandon Sybil that everybody does not remember to yell at him to be a hypocrite who seeks refuge within the privilege and influence of Downton to safeguard him from being delivered to O'Gray Gaol for strongly revolutioning against privilege and influence. This person. Ugh.The only real factor worse than violent revolutionaries is electric toaster ovens, amirite? Something something Ethyl. I apologize, Ethyl! Your story is extremely sad, however i are only able to be committed to a lot of sub-plots, and that i spent my energy on Daisy and her surrogate father!Because Carson's precious toaster-disliking time has been adopted with responsibilities which are beneath him, The almighty Whoops, towards the seem of Matthew's grinding teeth, consents to allow Carson employ a new footman, who definitely are competing against Alfred inside a nail-biting round of Footmen: Beyond Thunderdome! to determine who will get first footman. The brand new guy is extremely handsome, and Alfred can't identify a bouillon spoon. Seriously, ALFRED! This is the simplest of all of the SPOONS!If Carson requested me to recognize all individuals spoons, I would have checked out him with wide eyes along with a stoic face and stated: "There's no spoon." And that he would have stated, "Nice Matrix reference, dipshit. That movie will not emerge for seven decades."ANYWAY.Finally, Lady Edith wants the election, and she or he pens a stern letter towards the editor about this, that is clearly an enormous scandal, because The almighty Whoops is tedious. But Matthew is happy with her, and she or he is certainly happy with herself, making me so happy! And she or he will get great advice in the Dowager Countess, who clearly had like 200 great sassy lines within this episode: "Edith, you are a lady having a brain and reasonable ability. Stop whining and discover something to complete!InchAnd that is when Lady Edith invented blogging! Discuss.[Please go to discuss everything Downton Abbey, only with the third episode of Season 3. Do not share things from later within the season, despite a spoiler warning, because I have reached mod the thread, which requires reading through everything. So be kind, if you are elsewhere on the planet in which the whole season has broadcast.]
