I really could have gotten behind that a little quicker than what actually happened. Ah well, such is the life of us drama watchers, eh? :P Personally I'm really glad not to be a director or someone in charge of actors/actresses. On a lengthy show like this one, it has to be difficult keeping everything together and the actors all satisfied and the audience happy!<br /><br />You're totally right, I'd rather their separation come from death than any other possibility. They had come so far in their relationship that going for something like divorce or estrangement would not have made any true sense at all. So in that sense I am glad they went with the death option. And I did appreciate that he died on a really high note, i.e. everyone eulogizing him and that he got to meet his son. It would have been way worse if he hadn't gotten to meet his baby!Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-29241887384396811012013-02-28T12:52:43.487-05:002013-02-28T12:52:43.487-05:00I've always been fond of Mary despite her pric...I've always been fond of Mary despite her prickly ways. Love that she has Edith's current beau pegged (not his marriage but the reason for his "convenient" trip to Scotland same time they are visiting) and how she's changed. Just the other day, I read that Fellowes tried to get Dan Stevens to stay for the first episode of S4 so S3 could end happily (he'd die in the first ep.) but he refused. Badly done, Dan. Anyway, I thought that was an interesting bit of trivia. <br /><br />On reflection, as sad as it was, it'd have been more implausible to separate Matthew and Mary through divorce or estrangement or anything really.

But even knowing it was coming, that ending was just ugh! My qualms come from wishing that hadn't been the very last scene that we watched. But I'm past all the the drama now (promise!), and definitely looking forward to what series four will bring. I confess a (HUGE) soft spot for Mary and it will certainly be interesting where they take her next series. So I'll be watching, another YEAR from now. :)<br /><br />Scarves do add a burst of color. Especially if it's yellow like mine. Can you tell yet, that I'm especially fond of yellow? :PKarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-47962224560984535382013-02-25T13:45:54.654-05:002013-02-25T13:45:54.654-05:00Yay!

They are addicting in their own kind of way, Kara. :) <br /><br />Despite the tears, I am "at peace" with 'Downton's' twists and deaths. May miss the first character who died more than the second though it's for unexplainable reasons. :) Cannot wait for what's ahead in series four. <br /><br />Scarves are fun. It's just been in the last year and a half or so that I've really started wearing them in earnest. They add a nice burst of color. Especially if your jacket (like mine) is a neutral color. :) Rissihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378400717440822186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-53026273702690834042013-02-24T03:07:42.758-05:002013-02-24T03:07:42.758-05:00Thanks Alex!

I like the cold for about a month or so, but now I am so ready for spring to arrive. Of course it does help that spring is my favorite season! :)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-60646816423764857562013-02-24T03:04:09.964-05:002013-02-24T03:04:09.964-05:00The LBD does have a lot of videos so I can totally...The LBD does have a lot of videos so I can totally see the daunting picture they make. But when you do have some time (because we're not busy or anything, right? ;), check it out if you can. It really is adorable.<br /><br />YES! I have my own glimmer of optimism that just won't go away. I've heard that some people were so upset that they are refusing to watch next season. While that seems logical in theory maybe, I just know I'm going to give in and watch it again. It's simply too fun (and addicting!), even with all the drama.<br /><br />I learned more about tea than I ever thought I would, but it really was fun! We had a wonderful teacher who was passionate about tea. I've decided that true enthusiasm for the subject will make a teacher so much more interesting to listen to. :)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-16423820102369350622013-02-23T17:38:56.795-05:002013-02-23T17:38:56.795-05:00*hugs* Loved all your letters!

There is something so comforting about it wrapped securely around one's neck.<br /><br />I saw a few ep's of LBD and thought it was so funny/cute---I really should spend some time catching up but I think there is like a bajillion of them and it's too daunting :)<br /><br />Completely agree about Downton. Not sure how I will like it going forward though *glimmer of optimism stubbornly trying to poke through despite doubts* :)<br /><br />A tea class sounds very interesting, indeed. Yum :)<br />Jeanine (Wayfaring Girl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14732451082104871518noreply@blogger.com
