1. Thought I wouldn't make it through the whole thing, I was so pooped today.

But the time flew by! I loved every minute!

2. I thoroughly enjoyed the show. I think this season is going to

be just as good as the others. So many plots to keep track of.

3. I didn't like the apparent plot against Anna.

She's such a lovely person.

5. Yes she is,

and Thomas continues to confirm his unpleasantness.

6. And seems to have found a new helper.

But I never did like her in season 3.

9. yeah, it looks like they want her to replace Anna, I guess.

Although she is Cora's lady's maid, and Anna is Mary's.

And Thomas planted the seed about the nanny before Cora heard her abusing little Sibbie.

7. Agreed & read in some online hints that Bates' "supposed dark side" may return ...

.... so I suspect it has something to do with this sub-plot. Damned Thomas, anyway!

8. So far, Bates is using his skills for good...re Molesley.

It'll be good to finally see Thomas get his comeuppance.

4. We want so badly to love it, but if I were to plot our enjoyment vs seasons, it would start pretty

high and decline - personal taste, but for us, a bit too predictable, too "nice" (very brief scenes, an annoying need to resolve things really quickly)....we turned it off half way through and went back to our Breaking Bad marathon!

I think it is either an age or generation thing, but involves pacing - the internet/twitter age really has shifted movies and entertainment in my view toward much more fast resolution/action, far less long, drawn out development.

We watched The Impossible the other night - recent movie, highly rated - we would it way too "hollywood" ized. The new ways of making movies just don't resonate with us....oh well - we can always go back to some of our favorites!
