This season was too short and went so fast. I wish the seasons were longer as Laura said above. It will be a long wait until next January. I love Downton Abbey and I don't wish there were more drama.

It was such a treat to be let in on the upstairs/downstairs of English aristocracy. Loved every minute of that series!

I was an avid viewer through season 1 and 2 but things got busy and season 3 went by the wayside while I watched other things. I have 1, 2 and 3 on DVD and have just ordered 4 so I can have a big Downton marathon soon.<br />I love the costumes and traditions as you mentioned, its a bit of escapism into a time gone by.<br /><br />Cheers - Joolz xxJoolzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490462580345458546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276126907719997967.post-26783815917031360772014-02-25T13:04:55.251-05:002014-02-25T13:04:55.251-05:00The story line I see them playing out with continu...The story line I see them playing out with continuing momentum is that of women.

I mainly agree with your comments, but also feel there were "scandalous" issues written into the script and not all of those would have happened the exact way in that day and age. It sometimes felt like 25 year old writers from Los Angeles were trying to shock us with everything they could think of and dictate how people would behave in early 20th century England. <br />Leslie Anne Tarabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02196752637270349443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276126907719997967.post-4717701077202736322014-02-25T11:28:58.777-05:002014-02-25T11:28:58.777-05:00I agree with all your thoughts.
