I watched Downtown Abbey



I know it's Downton - but saying Downtown is more fun. 

Who is old enough to remember Downtown Julie Brown? 

Who am I kidding.

No one.

To be honest Poodles, I was disappointed in the first episode of Season 3.  Too much crammed into two hours.  And I came away with a heavy feeling of foreboding as well... the feeling confirmed for me as I read a few spoilers late last night... and I couldn't sleep thinking about them.  Yes. I know who is going to die in Season 3 - I'm not happy about it.  I know what will happen to poor Thomas as well - BTW - it could have been written better.  A kiss is just a kiss you know... and men don't sneak into rooms just to have a kiss.  And who decided to cast Shirley MacLain?  Awful choice.

Though disappointed, I will watch the first episode once again to try and pull myself together and be surprised next Sunday when the new episode airs.

I was the same way with Harry Potter BTW - by the fourth book I was bored.  I'm not at all normal.
