When last we left Downton Abbey, it was midnight on Jan. 1 of 1926. Its foray to the big screen,…
Nothing overtly about Thomas, but the following quote makes me very, very wary:
“When it comes to Carson, Engler hints, “Let’s just say his brief retirement has been very good for his health and when this event happens and all hands are needed on deck, he’s called into service and he becomes part of the success of the story.”
Thomas balances his sorrow at leaving his longtime home with a new lease on life, hoping he may make a fresh start at his new position. Still, it's evident that he will miss Downton more than it will miss him.

After listening to the first half of JF's podcast, I realize he sucks as a writer because he lives in his own bubble and is detached from reality. I could pick at every one of his answers. For example, he said 'I always feel it's very important when you have characters, kitchen maids, or you know, call boys, or footmen, or whatever, to remind the audience that these are lives.' I'd say the audience feel closer to these characters than upstairs people. There's no need to remind them of anything.
Hehehhehe…*headdesk*
I’ll have to listen to this when I’m strong enough…
• Barrow seems to have found a new gig helping young Andy with his book larnin’, but personally, I think a better berth awaits with Lord Hexham of Brancaster, who is “more art than sport, if you know what I mean” and who likes to paint the young men of Tangiers and “hasn’t a nasty bone in his body.” That’s got to beat waiting up all night to get lucky in Yorkshire.

Why is it that EVERYONE has better ideas for Thomas than Fellowes?
“Little do they know, family or staff, that the tides of change will not leave Downton unscathed.” That’s what the promo for the new Downton DVD collection says.
Funny, I thought about half the dialogue for the past few seasons consisted of both family and staff droning on about how Things are Changing...
Fellowes does tend to treat his characters like dolls in a dollhouse, which means motivations shift or get dropped like a hot potato time and time again in order to force characters into scenes and situations that don’t quite make a lot of sense.

@flippyspoon: Yep, he did. In s6e2 (I think), Mary remarks that Carson has served the Crawleys “boy and man, for half a century” and someone mentions that he started as a junior footman.
I’m watching cut scenes from Maurice with commentary by James Ivory. Ivory states that he regrets cutting a scene of Maurice and Alec in bed together, after they’ve made love, in which Maurice asks, “May I ask your name?” Ivory says, “There would have been, or should have been, room for Maurice’s renewed desire.”
Once again - FELLOOOOOOOOOWES
