Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thanks, moonlit! Happy whatever's happening in Australia today!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

So I am just about to start episode 4 in season 4 of Downton. Has anyone else watched the season?

I have seen it, Aims. I'm interested to see if the US version has extra scenes again.

My first reactions:

1. O'Brien!!!! I had no idea about that bit!!

2. Poor Anna!!

I knew about 1., but my reaction to 2. was ugh. I don't trust Fellowes to handle something like that well. And my friend and I actually did a "Oh no they DIDN'T!" double take when her screams blended into the opera solo.

I spend a lot of time yelling at the TV when Downton is on. And yet I can't quit.

I thought the first two episodes were incredibly slow for something that has only 9 episodes per season, but I think they were just building to ep. 3.

I agree. Mary was driving me nuts. And Lord Grantham was being right old twat about including her (rather, not) in the plans for the estate. And I continue to completely distrust Edna (though Branson...tsk tsk tsk...former chauffeur or not, power differential there) and Jimmy.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I watched ep 4 and have not watched the show again. I was really really put off.

What, specifically? (Not a challenge -- just a curiosity.)

Aims,

Sorry, ep 3 is the last one I've seen. The end of the ep, I was done. This is Season 4 I am talking about.
