Thomas is an odd one. He is like a wolf guarding sheep. If there are other wolves out there he will take them down, because no one eats his sheep. But if there are no other predatory animals out, he will eat the sheep if he gets bored or just feels nasty.
Interesting analogy, though I don't think Thomas is quite that bad. What's so interesting about him is that we see both his nice, protective side and his dangerous wolf side and can understand what triggers each side. (Mr. Bates also has those two sides, so it's interesting that he and Thomas were so often adversaries. When their wolf sides clashed?) When it comes to Andy, though, Thomas' motive was simple friendship and I was glad when they did become friends.
@@rowanaforrest9792 Thomas was definitely that bad. He was the one who sent a letter to the detectives that ended up getting Anna thrown in jail. He also helped Braithwaite make Anna look bad by lying about how Lady Grantham's dress was damaged.

@@artflorez1568 Had Anna or Bates ever found out about those two dirty turns Thomas did to Anna, I doubt there could ever have been peace between them. Bates could forgive the wrongs Thomas committed against him, but I wouldn't bet on him forgiving wrongs toward his wife.
I love it when Thomas uses his inteligence ans cunning for good and takes someone who deserves it down. Andy really brought out a softer side that Thomas couldnt shpw after Jimmy left.
I love like Andy looks more terrified of Barrow than Carson, and the way Thomas change voice when he asked what is happening. But this is before they warned him against Barrow?
Denker...what an awful character ! That scene is just perfect. Beside Denker being taught a lesson, Thomas got to do a good action without ulterior motives, just because it was the right thing to do. And if I may add, he is damn sexy in that scene, being all confident and all 😍
I did the math, and 5 pounds in 1924 (the year this episode takes place) would be equal to over 287 pounds or 343 American dollars today. So yeah, that's a lot of money.

What I love about Downton Abbey is that it allows its characters to have so many layers, as opposed to many films whose characters are allowed to only have a binary construct. Such layering of characters is one of the many reasons why Downton has run successfully for a frigging 6 season marathon, with films still coming back to back. Downton is a series about people, and writing characters as black and white wouldn't help much.
This moment and when she gets Sinderby and his butler in trouble show how brilliant Thomas can be at dealing with people's fate. He and lady Mary really are the same.
I always saw potential in Thomas to be a truly great man if he could,or would,put his hateful ugliness behind him.I think Little George and Sybbie did what nobody else could.He truly loved those kids,and Ms Baxter was always there for him even though he was so horrible to her,she showed him kindness,and all together,they brought out the best in him and made him realize he could love(and was worthy of love himself)
@@willemvandeursen3105 he hated himself for being homosexual in a time that would put him in prison for it.That hate came out in the form of cruelty towards everyone else.Baxter and the kids always excepted him,and Baxter knew he could be a kinder person

@@stephanietip I don't think Mrs. Patmore begrudged Thomas that, but she minded very much when he was nasty or made trouble, and of course she minded when for a while he pretended to be attracted to Daisy just to frustrate Alfred, who he resented and disliked because Alfred's aunt, Miss O'Brien, had tried to fast-track Alfred into becoming a valet without first paying his dues as a footman (after Barrow had worked his tail off to get that promotion). Mrs. Patmore disliked Jimmy just as much when he flirted or pretended to like Ivy just to frustrate Alfred. Miss Baxter, on the other hand, had known Thomas since they were children, so the only time she got vexed at Thomas was when he was nasty to someone who didn't deserve it (and her first months at Downton when he was trying to blackmail her into being his spy and informant).
I like that the more guys Thomas meets the more careful he is acting. Like: season 1 - Thomas touches Pamuk's cheek Season 5-6: he isn't even trying to flirt, just acting friendly. And also, I love my cinnamon roll Thomas :3
@Luboman411Yes, and because of his assumptions/actions, The Turk managed to get into Mary's bedroom and die there and when word git out(Thankx to nasty, jealous, Edith) her reputation was ruined and she almost had to marry awful Richard!

I didn't like Denkar here but overall I thought she was kinda fun. I can't imagine how she came to be in Violet's employ. One would have thought Violet could have been able to sniff out Denkar's less-serious side...unless she was hired for Violet's amusement, to stir the pot _Chez Dowager._ SPOILERS FOLLOW: A compilation of her and Spratt jabbing each other would be welcome, especially near the end where Spratt writes Edith's "Agony Aunt" column and Denkar boasts about Violet's decamping to France after the hospital debacle.
Mrs. Hughes certainly did and made it clear to Denker in no uncertain terms. So did Carson when he said she needed to be taken by the men in white coats. It was patiently obvious that Denker was not liked because of her insolence. She was insolent to Spratt even though the butler was higher up than she was, I wasn't supposed at her insolence to Carson. Thomas was right though, Andy wasn't there long enough and away from Denker, he settled in and did well, and Denker wasn't under Carson's jurisdiction. But while helping at Grantham House, she should have been sanctioned for her insolence.
??? I"d swear to remember reading how the actor playing Thomas has a wife and children ,and although he wasn't outright complaining, he was expressing frustration that roles were hard to come by for him because he had played a gay character and casting agents for whatever reason (typecasting? Prejudice?) weren't getting past that.I hope it got better for him.
Anyone noticed that Mr "Basil Shoot" cashed TWICE for the same drinks? First, Andy paid for Denker, for 2 nights. Then, Denker is being charged for the very same thing..
@@reginabillotti Still, the House ended up making a tidy profit off of them. It got all Andy's gambling losses plus Miss Denker paying for her drinks.

I'll see your Denker and raise you one Susan MacClare (Rose's mom). The latter had zero redeeming qualities and didn't have the benefit of being entertaining at times.
So exactly how much would four pounds ten have set her back? I know it was a hundred years ago, but that still sounds pretty cheap. She drank enough to get wasted on three separate occasions at a pound and a half a pop. That doesn’t sound so bad even adjusted for inflation.
@@marionarda2790 Hmm, that’s probably a good ballpark figure for what it would cost to get drunk three times in a major metropolitan area today. Thanks.

Now she was, but Barrow said she was only waiting outside the door and walking in with people stating that she found them instead of actually hunting them down herself.
