Just so Calon doesn't feel so bad, I didn't like it either.

In the immortal words of Don Rickles:



Age doesn't matter. Characters are one of the main things about movies or shows that I notice. I can occasionally forgive bad acting, but if I don't like a the person's character, and their isn't anybody else in the show that I do like, I wont watch it.

Then you didn't watch longer than 2 minutes. Bates was a badass. Even with a bum leg. Thomas was the devil. The list goes on, but the point remains....the characters in Downton are what the show is about. The stories are kinda.....Calon what's that word you like so much?

Which I think applies here. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. A touch of arrogance can be a good thing. In moderation. When appropriate. Just not on my thread  Tongue

Arrogance is always a negative. Confidence is what is needed.

Plus many people saying a thing, doesn't make it so.

Yes. Let's not bring up that whole business about the earth being the flat center of the universe. Roll Eyes



Why is Tim Curry so delightfully evil?

Big Brother is Watching You...


Yes he is....



You guys are losing.  Grin

Nah. He'll just end up in a room shouting "NOOOOO" at the ceiling in a unintentionally funny (but in no way intimidating) way Cheesy

After which will be dubbed into the final scenes of a previously good movie. Roll Eyes (Yes, I went there.)

My Force Lightning is as good as it gets.

Awww. That's cute.

Ooo, that tingles (in a good way). Got me feeling all frisky. Thanks. (The missus says thanks too).

Great, now I'm visualizing various applications of the Force in a........romantic setting. Roll Eyes

Part and parcel of the same thing. Too much confidence can be bad. Too much arrogance can be bad. A little of both and amazingness ensues.

Why is Tim Curry so delightfully evil?
Because he is Tim Curry.

Let me guess....if something doesn't blow up or someone gets an asskicking in the first 5 seconds, it's not worth watching?

Bates was a badass.

I like that actor, so his character was helped a lot by that. Still didn't like what I saw that much though.

I'm pretty sure no one in Arrow has a cape.

But it does have stuff blowing up and asskicking. Which is the whole point Logos was making. Downton is all about character with no need to resort to any of those things mentioned to create good entertainment or storytelling.

As I've said before, variety is the spice of life. It keeps life interesting, expands the senses and opens doors to new and different experiences. Having looked at your entries in the top 11 TV list (which is quite varied) it surprises me that you don't like Downton Taegin.

True.

I've had a fairly good film education, especially in the last 3 or 4 years, so it isn't much of a surprise that I have a varied list. I just didn't really enjoy Downton that much. I didn't watch it all, but I did watch more then 3 episodes, so that is good enough for you.
