"That house was hideous...but of course that is no excuse" I can't with the Dowager 😂
She is the best 😅
The best character
Lighten the intense mood with Carson’s hatred of a toaster!
I can watch this Series over and over and again! Which I do! I put my earphones and listened to it every single night! Like a bed time story. I've seen it so much I don't need to see the screen it's all imprinted in my head! I😂❤
I'm actually watching it, the Nth time.
Yea!! Nice to know I'm not the only one..
Ditto here. I can almost recite the entire dialogue 🤓
First he looses his Home and country. Then he looses the Love of his life. This storyline makes me empathize with Tom Branson even more. 😢💜
How can you emphasize with the guy right now? He left his wife behind, his pregnant wife. Nothing can be more cowardly than that. 😐
@@23Revan84Listen starting at 3:10. Watch 4:13.
@23Revan84 The police thought he was an Irish rebel who had helped set fire to a castle. As he correctly says, he wouldn't have gotten a fair hearing.
It isn't as if he left a note for Sybil saying "I'm going to Downton to be safe. Laters". They sat down, had a discussion about it, and came to the conclusion that he would leave for Downton immediately and she would finish their affairs in Dublin.
He is quite obviously wretched with guilt over leaving her there.
@India.H He was a rebel. He admitted it. He was in no way innocent and he still fucked off leaving Sybil to pick up the pieces. I feel for him but let’s not ignore the fact that he was involved
@@23Revan84 How would he being subjected to unfair detention and trial help his wife?
This show had many attractive men in the cast. Not that I'm complaining!
❤❤❤ yes, I absolutely agree!
Branson was one of my fave characters in the show
Tom had the courage of his convictions. It made me like him even more.
4:33 I’ve never truly realised but when you see Tom sobbing on the bedside in this episode it makes it all the more heartbreaking because little do you know what will happen right there in the next episode
Even more so as you see him pacing the hallway waiting for Sybil to arrive. When she walked in that door, their embrace could melt the polar icecaps. He couldn't stop saying sorry. Their love story is Epic beyond comparison. 💞
Lord Grantham asserting his Father-in-law status by orderingTom: "Go to bed!...I'll give you my answer in the morning."....Tom looks like a scolded little boy who just got grounded....yet later in the series, Lord Grantham grows to love Tom and is overjoyed when he returns from America to stay in Downton permanently. 😎
Well they spent together many years in Downton administrating the estate. Their relationship had a great development, Sybil would be proud of them 😊
@@nicolasdiez7688 indeed 👍
I love it when Lord Grantham tells Tom he loves him….the development of that relationship.
I can understand Lord Grantham is pissed here. He's worried about his daughter and grandchild
@@MsJubjubbird indeed 😎
I just love this show so damned much!
He’s my favourite male character. Sybil will always be my number one favourite
Honestly, I can't blame Robert for being mad at Tom. I would feel the same if the husband or couple of my daughter abandons her while being pregnant, in another country
It's IRELAND, not exactly a third world hell-hole. Robert has turned a complete blind eye to the fact that Sybill is an intelligent, self-willed and competent person of her own. She is in no danger, and Tom is. Would he expect Tom to, say, take out the garbage, or undertake household repairs, if he were sick and she healthy? Robert is insulting his own daughter, by treating her like a helpless infant who cannot function without her husband, to the degree that it's better for him to be with her in jail, than both of them free, but separate.
He's angry because Tom caused the reason for fleeing. He was an instigator by attending the setting fire to the castle. He should not have been there. Even if he did not set the fire.
@@Gunleaver Exactly! It was clearly as much Sybil's decision as Tom's!
@@audreykennedy90 The people in the castle should not have been in Ireland. They don't want to be involved in politics, they should not live in a CASTLE, which is a symbol of political domination. That was how the kings of England established their authority in Ireland and Wales - they could not win over the people, so they built castles where their agents could shelter and in which they could base troops to keep the surrounding area under English control.
Furthermore, in a war being fought where the Irish had very little in the way of heavy artillery, and mostly fighting with rifles and smaller arms, a castle retains a great deal of its military defensive value. As such, any castle in English hands is a legitimate target in a war of independence, because of its potential use by the occupying forces.
@@GunleaverSybil is not a helpless woman but she is pregnant. And she was Left behind in a conflict zone. It’s only natural for a father to be concerned. Furthermore, She is not only an English woman she is also the daughter of an Earl. She is part of the British aristocracy that the Irish rebels hate. There might be justification for those feelings but that doesn’t change the fact that a pregnant British woman who is the daughter of an aristocrate is left behind and could potentially be captured by violent rebels who most likely won’t be kind to her. They’ll see her as one of the enemy. You could argue Robert showed restraining in his reaction. Any father would be besides himself.
As an Irish patriot in the U.K. myself, knowing the history about the events around the struggle for Irish freedom in 1916, I really empathise with this storyline, as by this stage, the British establishment had really begun to totally abuse their position of power in Ireland 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪💔😪😔
Begun. Ok, sure. Ever hear of The Pale? The Flight of the Earls? Oliver Cromwell? The Potato Famine? The Williamite Wars? The Penal Laws? The Act of Settlement? Fun and games, I guess. The abuse began in the 20th century.
In 1773 Benjamin Franklin visited Ireland and was shocked by the extreme poverty he saw. He was worried that if the American Colonies remained under British rule that they would end up like Ireland.
@@margaretmanion9121 Doubtful. Unlike the Irish, the Americans were mostly Protestants, so the British state of the day saw them as actual human beings unlike the mostly Catholic Irish.
❤❤❤❤❤! Patricia Gambino Harrington
Tom was one of my favourite character as an irish person tom makes it even better and y did they have to kill of sybil like she was the best character ❤❤
Jessica Brown-Findally the actress who portrayed Lady Sybil stated from the beginning that she only wanted to be involved in the series for 3 seasons. The same with Dan Stevens. Their deaths set a catalyst for the remainder of the series.
“We all live in a harsh world” 🎤🫳
Granny is the heart of this show😂
Given the family's treatment of him and Sybil when he married their daughter - didn't attend the wedding! - I'm surprised they didn't kick him to the servant's quarters to sleep.
Well, Mary and Edith did go to Tom and Sybil's wedding, and that speaks a lot about them because they were capable of fleeing to another country for their little sister.
Also, Robert is not cruel, despite not liking Tom for marrying his daughter when he was his employee he knows Tom is now his son-in-law and, therefore, part of his family wether he likes it or not
@@nicolasdiez7688 You're right - my memory was wrong about who attended their wedding. And agreed, while Robert was decent to Tom in spite of his anger, it's easy to judge from a modern time.
Mr Carson and the toaster.... 😂
I had a hard time with Sybil’s death. It later came to me, had Sybil lived her life , it would have been a terribly split life and what would have happened-a divorce? I believe their love would have never left either of them. Both were thinkers. What really hurt was when Dan Stevens left. I was so torn I didn’t watch Downtown for at least a whole season and probably half of another.
Methinks of 🇵🇸❕The Irish suffered 8 centuries over 🇬🇧 rule. (⬅️flag of today), oppressed ‼️ Differences, indeed, but it's the same thing, to have your very lives to live freely as a human being ‼️
I always thought that Lord Crawley should have laid into him more. Thrown something or nearly hit the boy. But, I love this show.
Also, I never liked how they would leave the father in the dark so much.
I get sucked in . . and then realize, . . . Oh! It’s just a little bit of TH-cam 😂😂😂
If Cora wanted Sybil and Tom to be part of the family do you honestly see Robert been able to go against her wishes.
The folly of youth.
Boa noite familia linda e minha ☕🍵🍩👒🎩
There is nothing normal about this family, Lord Grantham... XD
"Those places are different for me," he says, sitting in one of "those places." And later he helps Lord Grantham in the administration of the estate. 🙄
It's called character development
@@nicolasdiez7688but Sybil didn’t want to live like her family. Sure, when she died she said that they could stay for protection and because her family was there but that doesn’t mean LIVE like them. After she died he became like them, attending fancy parties, caring for fancy cars, only seeing his daughter when the maids too the kids with them, etc. He could have stayed at downtown for Sybbie to stay close to her family but he could have ran for office to help like Isobel suggested or something like that, but no, he spent a lot of time not working and then running a estate, something completely opposite of what he intended. That is not character development, I agree that he did grow by accepting and becoming close to the family, but working for something that represented suffering for your people? There are limits, and he absolutely could have stayed at downton for his daughter sake but also do something for his sake.
This is probably the most dramatic Downtown has ever been. Suddenly we're in a political spy drama. 😅
Another sad example of why Tom and Sybil weren’t suited. They may have loved eachother very much but Tom wouldn’t give Sybil’s world the same respect she gave his. And in the end he lost her in the ultimate way you can lose someone, and was too late in reciprocating respect to her upbringing. 😔
Did you even watch the rest of the series?
@@jamesharrison3045 yes I did, and his character development was amazing! But too little too late for his marriage to Sybil.
Oh pleeease! If you bothered to read up on Irish history, the famine of the 1840’s exacerbated by the actions of the British Aristocracy and the struggles of the Irish people for the Free State, you wouldn’t be so blinkered.
@@stitchintime4332 that really only continues to prove my point.
@@stitchintime4332well said!!!! Thank you very much! Patricia Gambino Harrington
He only want all the time was one of them...
O meu pai faleceu no domingo 26 de maio, sepultado no dia 27 as 13h no Cemiterio Nossa Senhora da Conceicao. ⚰
I'm sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.
Relevance??
Terribly sorry. May he rest in eternal peace.
I am very sorry for your loss. May God give you peace
😮
I’m trying to find a hosta that will go well with pink astilbe and then in fall.. black eyed Susan’s to both help keep them upright and and help cover the larger area until the black eyed Susan’s completely fill in the area I’m growing them in. I’ve got raspberry’s I’m still trying to remove from that bed.. 3 years now 😂. But bonus plants 🩷 the berries are all up well enough now that I can easily transplant them to my berry patch 👨🌾🐝🌻
What exactly does this comment have to do with Downton Abbey?
robert is right. tom is a coward
I don't think Branson should have been welcomes into the family I mean sure he impregnated Sybil but he is a commoner and not a member of the gentry so he should have not been part of the aristocratic household.
If you watch the series from beginning to end, you realize that the show isn't just about aristocracy. It's about the changing of time from one era to another and how the world, of all classes, learned to change and adapt with the times. Whether that meant large households like Downton getting smaller and smaller or even closing altogether or marrying outside of your class or embracing technology, the story is about change, growth and adaptation in the face of uncontrollable social, economic and technological advancement.
In the "real world" at that time, the woman takes on the rank of her husband. Sybil and Tom would not have have been welcomed after the marriage.
You mean in the same way Megan markle wormed her way into the royal family, being the low class despicable person she is?!?!
Oh goodness, of course there were situations like this that happened. They never had to actually deal with Sybil being out in society with Branson as her husband, because she sadly died, but they would have shown the snubbing and difficulties I'm sure... He certainly was not WELCOMED into the family. And he didn't just 'impregnate' Sybil. They got married in Ireland, and Mary and Edith mentioned attending. Cora then found out that Sybil was pregnant and was thrilled. She told Robert she would not be kept away from her first grandchild. This scene, above, was the one time people thought badly of Tom - until Sybil arrived in the morning to defend their decision.
