I was really bummed and disappointed that Matthew and Mary were not even allowed to kiss at their own wedding. Remember they both mumbled some lines about not being sure if she would actually show up? But they never uttered a vow or kissed. Later on, you never got to see Matthew with his shirt off (a moment I’ve been waiting for!)
I thought it was a big arrogant of Lady Mary to demand/expect that her Grandma from the US would bankroll Downton Abbey. But Matthew, considering that both of his potential inheritences came from nothing of his own doing, should have accepted the possibility of his inheritence from his former/potential Father in Law, only for the fact that he would have indeed married Lavinia, had she not succummed to Spanish flu. If it would save his current family, then he should accept it, or possibly accept some of it, and donate the rest.
I would love to see Mrs. Hughes and Mr. Carson get married, even if it’s at the last minute : (
Mr. Bates and Anna need to have a real life together. However I am curious to why Bates agreed to the prison mate (after he was threatened) that he was indeed a murderer! Intrigue!
Daisy, as my favorite lass, needs to be a good worker and find a decent fellow. Mrs. Patmoor will surely show her the way, if she will only listen. Ah, to be the head cook’s assistant! I’m swooning : P
