Wonder if Fellowes is or is not being influenced by that classic series?<br /><br /> Thank goodness for such smartly written shows that give us all much to talk and think about!<br /><br /> Happy to hear from you at any time,<br /> Taralady thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16287907577241697874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13994370.post-38752541369432475832011-02-01T16:58:43.760-05:002011-02-01T16:58:43.760-05:00I love your observations and choices. This series ...I love your observations and choices. This series was such a delight. Evil villains, sibling rivalry, spite, murder you name it. <br /><br />You are so positive - but I must always have my share of the conversation and found some faults too. This last episode was rushed and I felt cheated out of some great storyline expansions. Since screenwriter Julian Fellowes is pushing the pace past so briskly, one wonders if he will end the series after two seasons? We will probably see the ravages of WWI next which we know changed life in England incredibly. I have read that it not only killed all the men, but that it killed a way of life at big estates like Downton. <br /><br />Thanks for your great insights Tara. <br /><br />Cheers, LALaurel Ann (Austenprose)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07569869772159241024noreply@blogger.com
