Who's the old bald dude, and why is he there?

[fauxkaren]

That's Jullian Fellowes, right?

So I'm guessing this secret is saying that Downton has jumped the shark?

Oop. I disagree.

Series 4 is actually my favorite series so far.

[fingalsanteater]

Oh shit. Downtown Abbey is back on?

The other day I was just reminded of how much I freaking love Thomas. Downton is one of of those shows that is out of site out of mind for me.

[fauxkaren]

Yep, it's been airing in the UK. 4x07 is going to be airing next weekend.

[fingalsanteater]

Whoop! Gotta go find those somewhere then! I hate that they wait so long to air them in the US.

I think it's jumped the shark. There's a storyline I really hate, I found it disturbing and hate the way it's playing out. But I'm still watching in the hope it redeems itself. I'm also not getting Lady Mary, she's really irritating.

[fauxkaren]

I'm guessing the storyline you hate is Anna's?

I mean, I don't think it's been handled perfectly and there's a bit too much about Bates and his feelings in it. But I also think that there has been some really important scenes dealing with Anna's sense of shame and guilt and responsibility for what happened to her which I thought were really good.

And lol Mary is one of my favorite fictional characters ever and I think this has been a fantastic series for her.

She's still mourning Matthew, but she's trying to get on with her life at the same time. Yet she still doesn't feel ready to be happy with someone else again. And most of her story this series has been about taking ownership of her role as part owner of the estate and I LOVE that because so much of her story over the years has been about Downton and not being able to inherit it. So now she finally owns a part of it and she's really throwing herself into learning how to run it.

What is this secret about?

[(Anonymous)]

The guy in the picture is Julian Fellowes, creator and writer of Downton Abbey. So the poster thinks that Downton Abbey is too OTT and has jumped the shark, but since Fellowes is also a RL Baron and Tory member of the House of Lords, the poster is concerned that it would be illegal to say so.

[sootyowl]

So is this about Downton Abbey?

I haven't watched the current season yet (waiting for it to be over so I can marathon), but Downton is such a soapy mess. I like that it is tbh. It's entertainment.

I do agree that it's dipped in quality since the first season, but it's still mindless fun. I'm okay with that.

I stared and stared at this secret, thinking it was someone playing hockey until I finally read the "jump the shark" bit and realized that was the Fonz under there.

[tabaqui]

I cannot for the life of me figure out what OTT stands for.

[(Anonymous)]

Over the top, I think.

[tabaqui]

AH. Okay. :)
Thanks!

I thought this was a parody song about the woeful state of British politics?
