So rude that you can’t say “okay, I’m done thinking about that” and then actually stop thinking about it

When will Larry and Jack give each other handjobs on screen

not evelyn going to france and leaving tony and charles with mary. this is why you'll never win. but it's so funny robert is immediately like Let's get evelyn do this shady thing for us when he hasn't even seen him in london. we know who robert's favourite son-in-law candidate is!

i love this photo

it's weird we're only getting to see the staple edwardian country house things now (the house party, the london season) and not in s1, which was very mundane and more about the day to day. which was nice but i kind of wish they had had the money or the will to show the grandeur as well. still mad we didn't see sybil's ball!

i'm dying to know fellowes' original plan for s4, but how it works out with mary finally getting the inheritance she wanted but only through the dead husband she didn't want to marry at first and is now grieving - matthew being her replacement in s1, the son robert never had, for her now to replace him! - is such a full circle moment and neatly done.

not isobel dragging clarkson with her to fight with violet lmao

jimmy demanding sex from ivy and when she looks for comfort from other women they say that because she didn't want to date a man she drove him out... the internalised misogyny of it all

charles!

i love his introductionnn he's probably so annoyed at evelyn for this

"she could take charge of me" omg evelyn not at the dinner table

i like how they make a stupid plot point work by having the characters think it's stupid too and blame it on the off-screen americans

not the imaginary tenant conference he is down so bad

but charles being the one she talks to about life-changing philosophical questions. i mean he couldn't have talked to tony about it i guess bc he might've guessed it was about green but this is still a win

all these awkward car rides lmao

thing is i like all three of them (i start to dislike tony only later on) but like omg no is an answer

mrs bunting is soo pretty. and it's funny how spooked tom is just by talking to a real person she's like whoa this house is pretty and he's just like idk😐 it's normal that's what we call it the normal room we're normal people

but it's hard when the servants are equally insane. thomas slamming down the tray and pacing the kitchen will never be unfunny

gregson trying to become a german citizen solely to be able to divorce his wife but getting killed by the nazis, in 1922, was crazy??

again i have nothing intelligent to say about thomas & baxter but wow and woah and so on. soooo much going on.

love mrs dudley ward

extremely good uses of titles as insults in the christmas special. every sir thomas drops at tom and charles' gillingham was very pointed too

i actually really like harold! i hope he'll be fun in the movie too

can isobel get a divorce too i just don't care for lord merton. this is how we will save dr clarkson from alcoholism

carson being in charge of planning a fun day and immediately thinking of museums is so relatable

damn i wish u guys could read this fic i haven't written and this fic i haven't finished writing and this fic i'm putting off outlining and this fic i outlined but haven't started and this fic i'll never write and this other fic i haven't written and this fic that exists only in vague impressions in my head that fall apart every time i try to commit them to the page and th

the molesley plot makes it sooo clear how carson puts his own position above anything else, like experience of the worker (we already saw this w jimmy and alfred) or any sense or convenience or what is best for the house. they'd have to manage with one footman for weeks even if they manage to find a good one to begin with! he's a trained butler right there, the family likes him, the servants know him, he only didn't crawl in front of carson!

In the finale, Kendall tells the story about his dad promising him the kingdom when he was 7 years old. Was that new information for you or was that moment always in your understanding of the character? Jesse gave me a bible, a timeline for Kendall, that I always had and referred to since we started. That was a memory for me that I carried around. In my mind, it happened concretely at this place called the Candy Kitchen, which is on Route 27 out in the Hamptons. Jesse let me throw that in there to crystalize the memory. But in a way, that’s where the seeds of destruction are. The child is tethered to the man. It’s a promise, and also, it’s a sentence. He doesn’t really have a chance. His father says, “One day, this will all be yours.” And that becomes his reason for being, and his only reason for being. The loss of that, finally, that we see in this episode, is an extinction-level event.
