Downton Abbey: The End :(

[meltoine]

My only consolation is that Julian Fellowes is going to be writing a show about elite New York during the same time period. I assume it will be fabulous.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Please, please let Edith find happiness. If not, I will be forced to reignite the fire in which she almost burned down the house.

[hbomdiggity]

I'm so sad.

That picture is great. I never would have thought that the beginnings of a TV show would look like a corporate conference!

I wonder if he's going to make it a spinoff starring Rose and her hubby, since they are moving to NY.

Even I want this to happen.  The happiness, not the fire lol.  I can't bear for my last image of Edith to be her running off in tears somewhere, gosh. (devil)

I knew you'd come around

I think this is a good think. Ending on a high note. Way to stay classy Downton.

Don't get too excited.

This is still applicable (bless you, @mrsspunky).

Although this makes me very sad, I am glad it will end while it is still good.

Also, I am very excited to hear about this new show!

I'm thinking the finale goes like this:
The Dowager marries the Prince, whose wife has died.
Edith finds some new man who loves Marigold and they get married.
Mary marries Matthew Goode's character (gah I still haven't watched S5's finale!).
Robert and Cora are empty-nesters finally and live HEA.

It's my understanding that the show will be set in the 1880's. So think between Age of Innocence (1870's) and The House of Mirth (1890's).

Forget sleeping on the roof, seeing Edith's face like this makes me want to push her off the roof!

I agree with this 100%. Especially after I heard that the Dowager wouldn't be in any seasons after 6. Like the others, I hope that Edith finds some semblance of happiness, and I hope we don't see the Dowager pass away in season 6.

NNNOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This gets me thinking about Matthew (dan stvens) and his decision to leave the show early...I haven't seen h I'm in anything else. Maybe I've missed it, but it doesn't seem like it we such a great decision to leave now does it , huh Dan?

But it's had a great run. Even my dad loves Downton! And he is not at all normally into this kind of show, so that's saying a lot.

He is playing opposite Emma Roberts in beauty and the beast?

So I am re-watching the last season of Mad Men from the beginning to get all caught up in the storylines before starting the new episodes.  And I realized Peggy has to be Edith's daughter  So unlucky in love, but creative and thoughtful.

In all seriousness, I am sad but pleased they are ending the show before it starts any shark-jumping.  I am sooo excited for how they wrap it up.  And also waiting for the new Julian show, since I love his work.  I hope there's a NYC bitch-on-wheels like Mary that I can cheer for!!!!

THIS!!!! I was angry that he quit the show.  Grrr.

Though I do like the single Mary storylines.

I will be sad to see it end but happy it goes out on a strong note.

Maybe Tom, Rose and Atticus will turn up in Fellows' New American drama? What if Tom's move to Boston gets him caught up in bootlegging for the Kennedys?
