I gotta say... O'Brien's breakdown while Cora was sick had me a little misty.

Me too, they did a good job this year of making her more than just a boo-hiss baddy, though she was great at that too. And because her hair's just knitting ^^

I love that even the potentially annoying characters are still well written and acted - I even find myself caring about what happens to dreary Butler-Bates "I'm Leafing! Again! Due to Honour! OK I've Come Back". Bigger men than he have tried to divorce Catherine of Aragon, with similar results. The cast all suit their roles down to the ground though. Mrs Hughes must find true love!

Sometimes I wish they weren't galloping through the years at such a pace (someone commented they'll have Lady Mary walking on the moon before too long) because I love the 1910s and they're over already (and the Dowager Duchess can't last forever

), but it does allow plot strands to charge on entertainingly so I can see why they do.

Guesses for the Christmas Special?

It's 18 months later, and Jane the Maid returns, with a baby... OF THE MALE PURSUASION! Could it be that Lord Cameron did a little more than hold her hand and pack her off with a cheque for A Decent Amount?
