I’m glad Harriet Jones was in the series. I liked her in Doctor Who.

Agent Carter is the only other thing I watch on the big networks any more.

There has been mention of a Downton Abbey movie at some point in the future but who knows.

I had to look up Harriet Jones as I don’t watch Doctor Who. Penelope Wilton has been wonderful. She’s great sparring with Maggie Smith.

It ended months ago. What time zone does the author live in?

Thank you. My friend and I think the Mary/Talbot thing doesn’t work, Bertie and Edith makes more sense. I was always for Evelyn Napier.

Yup. Bought the first series (on sale, streaming, $8). Watched the first one, maybe two, episodes. Very nicely done, good acting, luscious imagery, ... and absolutely nothing to aspire to.

You’re one person who didn’t know who she was.

Harriet Jones would announce herself as whatever in an episode and whoever it was the announcement was directed at responded “yes, we know who you are”.

I’m distraught.

Evelyn Napier would have suited the character of Mary more. I think even the newspaper magnate Richard Carlisle would have been good. The race car driver just doesn’t seem like her equal.

I was kind of hoping the last episode would contain a scene in which someone, preferably Edith, hits Mary so hard her jaw and pretty nose are broken. But that would be too much to hope for.

It ends tonight in the US. Believe it aired earlier in Great Britain.

In Britain the final show was on Christmas Day, it started here in early January, hence the discrepancy.

Only one I ever mourned is Johnny Carson.
