So, Season 4 of Downton Abbey is upon us. I approach it with trepidation. There are some benefits though. Simpering, wimpering, blonde and floppy Matthew has been axed by creator Julian Fellowes. Not sure who ordained him "fan favorite" or Matthew and Mary as the "couple we're all rooting for." Ugh. I was rooting for Sybil and Tom; look what happened.
But I have to say I'm most enamored of Edith's new take-charge attitude and dare-to-be 1922 sexy (a strapless gown?!) It's Edith, so I'm waiting for her new love interest to a) have a family elsewhere and still be married b) be a crook c) be gay and closeted. But can the creators really drop another boulder on Lady E.? I mean, will we see four seasons of her emotionally being destroyed now?
Jan Brady of post-WWI England must survive.
