Downton Abbey Recap

WARNING: DOWNTON ABBEY SPOILER ALERTS!!

SECOND WARNING: I AM LOOKING THROUGH YOUR BEDROOM WINDOW!!

Like a jackass I raced out and watched all of Series 3 before it started in America, so I've had to keep my mouth shut about Lady Sybil dying until last night.

I think part of what's so great about Downton Abbey is how unoriginal it really as – after all, this whole wife dying after delivering a baby thing was rather famously done by a pre-West Wing Josh Lyman on ER, wasn't it? - and yet we eat it up with a spoon. Yum yum yum!!!

Also, I eagerly await the viral meme based on Matthew's absurd over-acting via frowny faces during the death scene.

vf: (Matthew, during this whole scene, is fascinatingly just hanging onto one of the bed posters like he’s on the subway. A death-observing strap hanger, all casual. You half expect him to pop out some earbuds.)
