<p>O’Brien killing Vera would be brilliant.</p>

<p>I just ordered season 2 from Amazon for $20. It says it is the unedited UK version. I figured it was worth $20 to see the last three episodes now, plus I think H and D will get hooked eventually.</p>

342

<p>OK… am not going to read this whole thread, but D1 talked me into watching this series (basically told me I had to, that it’s the best). So last night I went on a search, looking for Season 1 in a store, and could not find it. Basically I tried the two closest Best Buys and Super Targets. I also tried our local video rental place and they don’t carry it.</p>

<p>Are my only options, really, to buy it online and have it shipped? Are there no real stores that carry a good selection of DVDs to purchase anymore?</p>

343

<p>Netflix has season 1 for streaming- so does Amazon ( free for prime customers)</p>

<p>[Amazon.com:</a> Masterpiece: Downton Abbey: Season 1, Episode 1 “Downton Abbey: Episode 1”: Amazon Instant Video](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Downton-Abbey-Episode-1/dp/B004KAQQ5E]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Downton-Abbey-Episode-1/dp/B004KAQQ5E)</p>

344

<p>I watched season one for free online, could have been on pbs.com</p>

345

<p>Well, because I am a PBS donor, I was able to purchase both seasons 1 & 2, with my membership discount, and free shipping, for $29.74.</p>

<p>I was able to pick up season 2 at Costco for $23.99, but I’m either going to return it or send it to D2.</p>

346

<p>I watched the whole season 2 online for free. UK version.</p>

347

<p>I just read that Shirley Maclaine will be the “other” grandmother–Season 3 That should be fun!!</p>

<p>@cbreeze…where did you watch season 2? All the links I find want me to download something that I’ve never heard of. I have a brand new computer with all my work on it, if I download a virus I’m screwed.</p>

349

<p>cbreeze,</p>

<p>I don’t want to know everything, but so as not to spoil it for anyone here, please PM me who killed Vera.</p>

350

<p>I don’t believe it is revealed who killed Vera by the end of season 2, including the Christmas special. Stay tuned for season 3…</p>

351

<p>You can watch it here: [Masterpiece</a> | Watch | PBS](<a href=“http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/watch/index.html]Masterpiece”>http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/watch/index.html)</p>

352

<p>gloworm, bookiemom is correct, we don’t know who killed Vera in season 2. Stay tuned for season 3.
I want to see a wedding in season 3, otherwise I am going to quit watching.</p>

353

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>So there only two episodes left for season 2?</p>

354

<p>Kathiep- those are only the already broadcast episodes. Cbreeze said she already watched all if season 2 online.</p>

355

<p>I watched Letterman last night for the Foo Fighters Top Ten, and the actress from Downton Abbey was on. Catherine Dockery, I believe? She was delightful. I called my FIL this morning to make sure he knew of this series, and he has indeed been following it. He was a big fan of the old Upstairs Downstairs, so I knew this would be right up his alley. I will have to check it out. Sounds like a great series.</p>

356

<p>I must say that I don’t think the writing is as good this season as last. I’ve heard lines recycled from other movies.</p>

<p>From Dr. Zhivago “They’ve killed the tsar and all his family”.</p>

<p>From Gone with the Wind, “I’ve never known you to have a handkerchief in times of crisis”.</p>

<p>And then there’s the well worn, ‘drop the tea cup’ ‘I just got a cold chill’ moment coinciding with Matthew’s injury in France. </p>

<p>It’s getting so I can predict what a character is about to say. </p>

<p>But I love it nonetheless.</p>

<p>I’m hoping that pale skin comes back into fashion, thanks to her. She’s lovely, in or out of costume.</p>

359

<p>^She is attractive, but she always looks slightly cross-eyed to me.</p>

<p>Thanks for the link. It is rather startling to see her in modern dress lol. I don’t know why they called her beautiful tailored jacket “androgynous.” To catch people’s eyes, I guess. She is very slender, isn’t she?</p>
