Is it not produced by BBC?

Fuck. Well, editing that post.

Carnival Films and Masterpiece XD

But really, you can totally blame Dan Stevens ENTIRELY for it.

Though technically it was *cough* some actor's *cough* fault, I know, I know. ARRGH.

That was my reaction, too! And I will be super-pissed if they name the SPOILER after SPOILER. I thought it was creepy enough when they did that with SPOILER (which I totally missed, because Season 3 came at a busy time for me).

Maybe that's why PBS isn't showing it till the first week in January....

Sounds like the BBC ruined everyone's Christmas this year... Merlin fans, Doctor Who fans and now Downton Abbey fans... I'm scared to start watching Downton Abbey now O____o

I haven't watched it yet and might give it a skip. After SIGNIFICANT DEATH in episode 5, taking that route again seemed forced. Yes, people died of terrible incurable medical conditions quite frequently and car even accidents were probably worse (no seat-belts or license requirements will do that), but to use the "happy couple has a baby, get a few minutes together, and then one of them dies" twice in one year it stops being realistic. On the other hand, how else do you write off a character in an age where divorce is uncommon and there's a higher mortality rate.

All this boils down too is Dan Stevens ruined everything. I'm not saying he had to commit to DA for the duration, but I feel he needed to eek out most of one more season to make the loss of the character more understandable.

Also, Mary and Branson should totally hook up.

You know what did happen back then though? Long postings overseas for political reasons while the family was left at home. There is NO REASON, having got an heir, he couldn't fuck off to some foreign place for a few years.
