Someone on this site mentioned Project Free-TV a long while back. Google it. It's an awesome site. I was done watching DA S3 ep5, by 7pm PST last night! This site worked perfectly for me...thanks for the tip! I'm all caught up on Season 3 and was positively gutted by the last episode. They really held nothing back.

I didn't have to...I used this link and clicked on the first option under each episode and they loaded straight away.

I cried during that last episode, but I was bothered that neither Mary nor Robert were shown ever shedding a tear or more emotion at Sybil's death. Mary showed more grief over Matthew initially not wanting to invest his inheritance into Downton.

I didn't mind last week's development much because Sybil was never my favourite. She had lots of potential in season 1 but the love story between her and Tom, which could have been epic, got cast aside last season for more Bates drama. However, I really hated what happened in last night's episode. < Cora has every fucking right to be angry at her useless husband but now poor Clarkson has to lie so stupid Robert will be forgiven? I hate Robert, he's my least favourite next to Daisy and I would have liked to see Cora staying angry with him for at least one episode. Then again, she barely reacted when he had lost all her money so it's clear that Cora is just not allowed to be mad at Robert. And in typical Fellowes manner, I bet that's this storyline ended now.

I really dislike how this show drags out crappy storylines like Bates in jail, to the point where the whole audience is groaning in agony, and yet a really compelling situation like Cora blaming Robert is wrapped up so quickly and neatly. I would have liked to see a bit more of the consequences of Cora's anger on their marriage and family. For now, so that I don't get too frustrated with this, I tell myself that I really do think that Sybill would have died regardless. I think that Doctor Clarkson let his ego influence his "truth", and really what he told Cora and Robert was the most likely outcome. Clarkson doesn't seem to be such a great doctor. I don't know that a local cottage hospital would have been able to save her. Robert, for all his dicktastic moves, did not at any point intend for his daughter to die. That being said, I would like to see him suffer a bit more turmoil as he comes to terms with his attitude that he always knows best, has led to some really tragic consequences. And for Cora's sake, more than Robert's, I am glad that she can now grieve with him.
I loved how the women did not leave the luncheon when they found out about Ethel. I know I am viewing things through a 21st century lens...but seriously, did the men insist on the slut-shaming just to make sure there was a constant stream of prostitutes available? They don't like that Ethel WAS a prostitute, but they sure don't seem at all interested to help make it easier to do something more respectable.
Thomas seems a bit too hands on with his crush on James. Being gay could land you in jail back then, if not dead from a beating. I would think he would be a bit more circumspect in public with someone he is not positive returns his feelings. And while I was enjoying O'Brien and Thomas pitted against each other, it is now headed in a really nasty direction that could end up with Thomas dead. You would think O'Brien would have learned a lesson from Cora's miscarriage.
And why is Daisy so damn crazy about Alfred? He seems to be a carbon copy of her dead husband William. You know...the one she really didn't love. I hope she moves to the farm and off my telly.
And yet for all my bitching, I really do like this show!

Yay, there's a chance Daisy will get out and we won't have to see her that often. That and this Daisy, Alfred, James and new girl love triangle is tiresome already. I hope they don't drag it on.
Thank the heavens it looks like the Bates drama is finally over. Part of me was hoping he'd continue to rot in prison so Thomas doesn't get demoted back to footman, but I wouldn't want to have to endure a season or more of sad Anna. What will become of Thomas? It's definitely leading up to some great event between he and James. I hope it doesn't end tragically.

Karrit, I believe the same as you wrote in the first paragraph. I don't think, given the era and country setting, that there was any different outcome possible.

I truly hope it doesn't end terribly for Thomas. Yes, he's a giant jackass, but I think the writer's have done a good job of not making him a one-dimensional character and I like seeing him around. I'd take him over dull Mr. Bates any day. This episode really brought home how perilous being homosexual was back in the day. Zero support from anyone and the threat of getting the law involved, and the idea that Thomas must indeed be very, very lonely.
