Since I didn’t get to see the new Downton Abbey until last night, I missed the Twitter party on Sunday night. Yet, I had plenty to say when I did watch it so here is my unpublished twitter feed while watching Downton Abbey. Feel free to share your thoughts!

BTW, if you missed the show you can watch it online here.

UPDATE: Brian just got home from work. He was talking to a coworker from the UK. She has already seen the entire season. She said there is even more drama and turmoil coming and that Vera Bates gets even nastier. After this season there is/was a Downton Abbey Christmas special that wrapped up many of Season 2’s conflicts, yet leads into new stories in the upcoming Season 3. Something to look forward to!

The kids are asleep. The lights are dimmed. I am so ready for Downton Abbey! #DowntonPBS

Laura Linney looks as excited as we are.

How did anyone make it out of there alive? #war

That’s why we love Downton, Michael. “Seems like another world.” (Yet, we can always relate to the human nature.)

Ethel is a cheeky little thing.

The best lines are always from Lady Dowager. #whatisaweekend?

Brian, “What kind of name is Lavinia??” #villianousname

Dearest, Sybil. I just want to hug you.

No one eavesdrops like O’Brien.

Wow, I wasn’t expecting Cousin Isobel and Lady Dowager to be agreeing on something.

Aw, Bates. I’ve loved your character in the last three movies/series I’ve seen you in. (Downton, North & South and LarkRise to Candleford.)

Will those two sisters ever stop being nasty to each other?

Poor Mary. Nothing like regret.

Of course Lavinia looks sweet but we’ll not stop wishing Mary and Matthew come to their senses.

Poor William. He needs a hug too.

Lord Grantham/Papa always seems to be the last to know.

Oh, no! Mrs. Vera Bates is in the picture now? I thought she was dead or long divorced. Noooo! The writing is on thewall…

BTW, Bates, what kind of proposal was that?

How many times have I said that to Brian, “I’d give you a smack if I didn’t want to kiss you so much.”

Oh, no an Anna/Bates kiss to tug at our hearts before it is broken.

Quotable: “My my. You are very well placed if you are ever in trouble with the law.”

O’Brien the Cat has a new mouse to tease.

Oh, yes, Matthew. Mary is so pleased to be “friends.”

Anna and Bates are making plans. Anna is blissfully happy. This can only mean one thing. Disaster is right around the corner.

Mary and Matthew, you are breaking my heart.

There it is. The bombshell. And a nasty piece of work she is. #paininthearse

I can physically feel my blood boiling. Why can’t she be thrown on the battlefield in the line of fire?

Mrs. Hughes! You shock me. I thought O’Brien was the master eavesdropper. #nosybodiesunite

No, dearest Anna. Don’t be willing to live in sin with him. Think of Jane Eyre. If it is meant to be it will work out in the end.

Oh, Anna. Your tears have brought me to tears. #heartbreak

Daisy, that’s one way to cheer William up but be careful, little one!

Hmm, Daisy. Was that look saying, “Oh, yes!” or “Oh, no!”?

How do people live in such conditions? #war

Lovely. First Vera. Now Thomas is back.

Quotable, “If I was a gentleman, I wouldn’t want to know.” “But you’re not.” “Fortunately.”

Quotable: “Flattered is a word posh people use when they are getting ready to say no.”

Be patient, Branson. She may come around.

Oh, God. I guess that bullet had his name on it. #irony #war

Poor Papa. I smell another major let down.

And there it is. An honorary position.

Is Lord Grantham ever going to find out about the scandal?

Checking for vapors? Classic, O’Brien.

Edith, don’t be so annoying. Leave Mary to her praying. #pest

I love how the love of a good man can change a selfish heart. I’m rooting for you, Mary.

We’re seeing a whole other side of Thomas. Is he going to be less hateful now? #hopeful

Well, that’s one way to get off the battlefield. Ouch.

Lang seems like a decent chap. I like the look of his eyes. I hope I am not disappointed.

Is Ethel into Lang? I’m not used to O’Brien being nice.

With a single look O’Brien says, “Give it up. Mosley. It’s never going to happen.”

Edith, you never looked so good as you do on that tractor! Good for you.

I guess Thomas isn’t turning over a new leaf. He’s as nasty as ever. #dashedhopes

Don’t even think about it, Ethel.

Why does Sir Richard look so familiar?

“Her uncle and I are old friends…” Oh, no. I smell another scandal.

And the longing glances continue. #maryandmatthew

Dear Carson. Don’t you dare die on us.

Never mind the blasted dress, Edith! #pest

Another showing of O’Brien’s softer side. #newleaf?

Sir Richard…Sir Richard…what do I know you from? I can see you…but it’s hazy in my mind…younger…threatening someone…grabbing her by the wrist…that voice…

I can’t stand it. Must look him up quickly… That’s it. Mr. Preston from Wives and Daughters. Now I can see the scene clearly. #imdb

Is that why you are so nasty, Thomas? Lack of real love?

Sir Richard/Mr. Preston has the same MO. Grabbing a young lady by the wrist and threatening her.

At first I thought the farmers were brother and sister. Then I thought, how sweet. Edith is falling in love with a farmer.

Brian just informed me that he is the sick farmer from Season 1. What? They better stop flirting with each other! #thatsnotyourwife

Oh, no. The poor soldier. Brian wants to know if Thomas gave him the razor as an “act of mercy.” I don’t think so but who knows?

Oh, Sir Richard you are just bursting with romantic notions, aren’t you. I’ve seen more sentimentality from a block of cheese. #dumphim

Branson is getting hopeful again with Sybil.

Mary can’t bring herself to tell Matthew what’s on her heart. A letter, Mary. Pouring out your heart is traditionally done in a letter.

I liked Mr. Molesley in Season 1 but he is like a pesky gnat in Season 2. #shooflyshoo

I guess it’s not only the posh that say “I’m flattered but…” #rejection

Oh, Edith, I finally started liking you and now you are a blasted homewrecker. And you, Mr. Cheeky Pig, your life was not spared so you can cheat on your faithful wife. Zip it up and get back to your house.

Quotable: “What then? Amputation in the dining room? Resuscitation in the pantry?” #ladydowager

Quotable: “Now come and give me a kiss!” “We’ll have none of that!” There are many others that should have been told that!

Daisy, I guess that previous look was “Oh, no.”

Of course you shouldn’t accept him, Mary. He stinks to high heaven. #dumphim

Read between the lines, Edith. “Get your nasty hands off my man.”

Noooo…it can’t be two hours already. Blast! Now I have to wait another week. Oh, well. Let me know what you think! #downtonwithdrawal
