Downton Abbey
Feb. 11th, 2013 01:41 pmMy favorite line:
Lord Grantham: If I'd screamed blue murder every time someone tried to kiss me at Eton, I'd have been hoarse within a month.
Ah Lord G, I love your breezy aristocratic nonchalance. Your refreshing lack of judgment next to Carson's sputtering (if historically correct) homophobia is a welcome contrast to the rest of your behavior this season. But it's not that surprising after all--as Lord G said "I thought everyone knew about Thomas?" I remember in Season 1 when Mrs. Patmore haltingly tried to explain to Daisy why her crush was unlikely to bear fruit. "He's not for you...he's not a ladies man...Thomas is a troubled soul!"
Why I love this show: as weak as the writing can be, the characters *are* well-rounded. Thomas had rare dignity and grace in the midst of his humiliation. (Tho' Jimmy came off as a git, for sure.)
