Lurching toward its series conclusion, Downton Abbey in season 6 is something of an empty vessel compared to what it was in season 1. The only constant, for me, is what a colossal buffoon Lord Grantham remains. The character is such an unmitigated twit that how has he managed not to choke to death on a button that he mistook for a toffee?

lol! season 1 and maybe 2 were great. since then, SNORESVILLE, particularly last season. but i have kept at it. lord knows why. i think mary's uptight/rigid demeanor and ram-rod stiff physicality make me laugh. same thing goes for carson. talk about buttoned up. yeesh! i wouldn't do well in such an environment, that is for sure.
p.s. the always understanding mother drives me NUTS. i would refuse to play that role/be that person. barf. the grandmother (i'm horrible with names) has the best lines.
HA! And yes, Maggie Smith's character has the best lines...but then, it's all in the delivery ;)
