We watched the season three finale of Downton Abbey the other night, so we’re finally all caught up with the series and the rest of the viewing public. I no longer feel like the odd man out. I still am, but I can pretend that I’m not.

The up side: NOW I CAN READ ALL THE SPOILERS! I am seriously looking forward to this. For weeks, all I’ve been able to read about Downton on teh Intarwebs is the IMDB web page, and even there I was poking around rather cautiously. Every other time I clicked on a photo or went to visit what I thought was a fairly safe web site – even Edith With Googly Eyes (this is my new favorite website) – the first thing I saw was a photograph that gave away the ending of an episode … USUALLY THE VERY NEXT EPISODE I WATCHED! So I gave up the internet for a whole week. I know that makes me a geek. Oh well.

The down side: WHAT THE HELL!? CAN’T WE HAVE JUST ONE FRAKKIN EPISODE OF DOWNTON THAT’S NOT A HUGE DOWNER?
