I love these! They look amazing, really. <3 You've captured them all very well, even if they don't look exactly like their actors.

Thomas is my favorite character as well! I'm not sure why so many people hate him, I don't think he's so awful considering what he must have gone through. XD He just needs a boyfriend, then maybe he'll cheer up a bit.

Very glad to hear that, thank you!

Yeah exactly. I really like his backstory and even in season one I liked him without knowing much about him except evilness, because his evil tricks were kinda funny and not harmful or anything haha

You're welcome! It's well deserved. (:

I actually have a pretty patchy memory of season 1, which I think is odd because Downton is currently one of my favorite shows. I think I'll have to do a bit of catching up on netflix. XD I agree though, he never really harms anyone but himself with all of that plotting and smoking, which I suppose is a bit sad, because he's obviously a clever character. I'm really hoping that season 4 will continue on with this pattern of having Thomas as more of a main character. And with the new additions to the cast, I'm crossing my fingers that one of them will turn into a love interest! Ahh, sorry, I feel like I'm just rambling.

Hahha yeah same, only that stuff happens and that Thomas is being the evil guy together with O'Brien. But if you look closely it's obvious that he's doing it because he has/ had a miserable life. I mean you already see him crying in the first episode!

Me too! I've got a hunch that it's going to be about Mary and Thomas :) Mary the main for upstairs and Thomas the main for downstairs of course. I agree! He just really needs a good relationship. I want him to be with Jimmy but I also don't to him to be with Jimmy.. looking forward to their friendship development haha. And no you're not rambling don't worry haha

XD Well, I'm glad it's not just me. I'll probably still watch the older seasons while waiting for 4, I'm sure I'll start missing it in a few weeks, once I've worn out Game of Thrones. I thought his misery was obvious as well, his whole encounter with the Duke was a bit on the sad side. One second they're kissing, then the whole relationship has completely backfired! Poor Thomas.

I certainly hope so! I think Branson and Mary will be the main characters for upstairs, and Thomas the main character downstairs, possibly with Jimmy and the new valet, Green, playing large parts? There's so many new cast members, and so many old cast members are leaving, it's kind of making me nervous that the show will change too much. Ahh, yes, I wish Thomas and Jimmy could be together, but I suppose for Thomas' plot to continue, it had to go a little wrong. I'm sure they'll have quite an interesting friendship, though. Thinking it over, Jimmy was actually pretty cool about the whole thing. XD Imagine if it had been Alfred!

Haha me too! Oh yeah Game of Thrones season 3 is about to start again..
Yeah exactly! And he almost cries in the hallway :|

Really that many? Pff makes me worry a bit too. I've heard of O'Brien leaving, I didn't like her but her leaving would change a lot I think.
My mam is convinced that Jimmy is in the closet haha so we shall see..
Omg if it had been Alfred.. ahaha I don't want to think about that!

Ahh, I haven't been able to convince my parents that they should either buy HBO or the blu ray of Game of Thrones, so currently all I have are the books. I wouldn't be ready for Season three anyway, I'm only on the second book. I'm a bit obsessed with them, though, I just figured out what my family's banners would look like if we were in the books. XD Which I guess is a bit silly, but fun all the same. Apparently it's a chained swan with the colors red, gold, and white. :dummy:

Gosh, and then people still find a way to hate him! D:

There are quite a lot, at least I think so! The show's barely changed at all in previous seasons, so maybe it just seems like a bunch. There's six, though I'm not sure how many will be permanent additions.

1. A singer who will stay as a guest at Downton (Dame Kiri Te Kanawa)
2. Lady Shackleton, a friend of Dowager Violet's (Dame Harriet Walter)
3. Lord Gillingham, old family friend of the Crawley's and possible love interest for Mary (Tom Cullen)
4. Green, a visiting valet, most likely accompanying the Lord (Nigel Harman)
5. Duchess of Yeovil (Joanna David)
6. Aristocrat Charles Blake (Julian Ovenden)

All of the women seem to be older, though I'm sure Sybil's nanny will be youthful. I wish that O'Brien weren't leaving, she's awful, but still a large part of the show. I was thinking that maybe her secret would get out and she'd go up in flames, but perhaps Julian Fellowes thought that would be a bit too dramatic after the deaths in season three, because I don't think she'll be returning for season four at all. I suppose they'll just have to backtrack a little and have the downstairs cast explain? :/ I was hoping that Jimmy's just in the closet as well, though it doesn't seem to be the case, since they decided to just be friends and all. Maybe he's just nervous? Idk.

Alfred! Ahh, with O'Brien gone, he'll definitely be my least favorite of all the characters, he's so frustrating! That look on his face after seeing Thomas kiss Jimmy, OTL. He looked ready to vomit.

Sorry for such a long reply!

Ooooh I see! My father reads the books but I'm not really into medieval fantasy - I'm alright with the show but I think reading the books will be such a drag for me. And I've got a bunch of other stuff to read haha! Wow that sounds cool! :D

Oooh yeah it's true, and a few minor characters getting more appearances like Rose and Cora's mother am I right? Sounds like an interesting list.. I already checked out the new male cast but none of them look like a potential love interest for Thomas? Their looks & their character's characteristics and background..

Yea exactly! No O'Brien anymore.. will be odd. I hope we'll adjust quickly :P
Well think about Jimmy's situation: I don't think it's odd that a man during that time and age only wants to be friends with a homosexual, especially when he's a homosexual himself. It's only safer that way. But yeah we shall see.. I still feel there's proof that he's not that much into women haha But I want to see more of him nonetheless. He seems like an interesting and promising character.

Hmm yeah Alfred is such a tit, my friend totally wants to know more about him in the next season.. I'd like to know more too, I mean I'd like to have an explanation for his behaviour. But he's still a tit to me. Blunt in a non-charismatic way. HAHA Yes my friends and I always say that his complexion is a complexion you expect to find between a door and its post with a nasty expression.

Don't worry about long replies, I apologise for my slow reply haha!

These are really good, but I'm afraid I can't agree about your feelings on Mary - she is on of my favourite characters.
