For one thing, the costumes and settings are gorgeous!  Even if the melodrama is ridiculous.

Also, the Dowager Countess is so funny.  I watched one episode with my aunt where we had a drinking game -- take a sip of wine each time Lady Violet says something snarky.  We were both blitzed by the end credits...   

Hehehe I'm not surprised X'D she's so sassy.

I want you to look for a viewing party and GO TO IT.

There are VIEWING PARTIES?!?! 8O whaaaaat? Aww.
Yeah Eich! Go to one!



Hehehe "pookie"

Eich, pookie, I want you to do something for Auntie Sunflower. 

Look up when the new season of "Downton Abbey" starts in January.  If that's during term-time at your college, I want you to look for a viewing party and GO TO IT.  The gender odds will be *ever* in your favor...

I know more men who like the show than women, actually...  In fact, my badass, southern, roofer dad only stopped watching after season 3 because he was upset about how it ended.

Really? You've only seen it once? We get it all the time here.

Well, you do live in Washington, right?

Yeah, but getting anything other than a misty sorta rain is unusual, here.

Wait, so, no waterspouty death from the skies?
What kind of twilight zone do you inhabit?

You don't get.....regular rain?

They're in the literal Twilight zone ;____;

How do we even help them now?
Stellers, avoid ironic scenarios with all of your might.

Don't!
They will be really terrified when they see anything other than misty rain.

[StellersJayC]

Uh... Perhaps I should explain.

From my limited perspective, a summery of the weather in western Washington (Washington state, west of the Cascades) could be:

20% Sunny
40% Overcast
35% Misty Rain
4% Medium Rain
1% Heavy Rain / Snow / Sleet / Hail

I want to make it clear that even amongst people like me who've lived here their entire lives there are sizeable discrepencies in what people think "normal" weather is like.
My mom says:

I think it's cloudy like 80% of the days. I forget. Drizzle frequently, but not much actual rainfall.

So... That's closer to mine than I expected it to be. But other than precipitation, we get really big windstorms in fall that cause power outages and scattered thunderstorms in late summer. Hopefully that makes sense?

Halp, im recruited tommorow! (Not against my will but still)

[Fimbulvarg]

I haven't watched Downton Abbey. People keep saying it's a must-watch but I keep thinking of the hundreds of things I would rather be doing than watching snobs in action. Maybe me and pookie over there should enter a "watch downton abbey blood pact" to get things over with.

What would an Icelander be recruited to?

Kind of hard to start a blood pact from a third of the way around the world.  *continues eating breakfast*  Maybe an imaginary one?  Unless you want to buy a plane ticket to the US and hang out, that's probably the most efficient option.

Hope you can still check up on the comic (I have no idea how any military works... but I still hope you can).

I meant an imaginary one. The odds of me being able to afford a plane ticket to anywhere outside Europe in the next few years is microscopic, especially when a TV series is the purpose of travelling *munches on lunch*

I.... Don't think Iceland has a military aside from the coast guard.
