<p>If you have seen the finale, PLEASE try to avoid the temptation to post little teasers/spoilers that might insinuate developments many do NOT want to know in advance.</p>
<p>That’s why I suggested that if some really want to talk about the finale, they could start another thread, like Garland did when she had just started watching and was behind all of us. Anyone who doesn’t want the ending spoiled could not visit the “finale” thread. I’m content to wait, though, it gives me a chance to watch again! :)</p>
<p>(Still haven’t found the Thomas/O’Brien soap discussion, btw. Just one conversation where Thomas asked her why she was suddenly so protective of Her Ladyship, and O’Brien basically said she had her reasons, without elaborating. I just zip through the episodes on my DVR and look for smoke! haha!)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s a fine idea.</p>
<p>Nope, I can wait. Wouldn’t dream of spoiling!</p>
<p>Thanks Kathiep- used the link you provided and watched the last episode. lips are sealed.</p>
<p>If Sunday night’s season finale is the main course, we can get our appetizer by watching 60 Minutes prior to the episode on PBS. One of the features on 60 Minutes will be an interview with Maggie Smith and she confesses she’s never watched the show. I understand that some don’t like to see or hear themselves (I’m this way about students taping my lectures. I tell them to never let me hear them.). However, she’s really good at what she does!!</p>
<p>If you want a cool Maggie Smith movie, dig up Keeping Mum. It’s a very good dark comedy in which she’s a very nice grandma and killer.</p>
<p>I’d like to see that one myself - it also stars Rowan Atkinson of Blackadder fame.</p>

<p>Matthew and Mary.</p>
<p>Hoping for Sybil and Branson. Got Anna and Bates. (shoulda said Guthrie concert instead of lakeside picnic.)</p>
<p>Matthew and Mary. Which is bad, because I find her insufferable.</p>
