Oh thanks  Ivy,  but...  oh  darn.   waiting is such sweet sorrow.

What do you think about the 5. series so far. I think it's a bit boring, unfortunately. 
 

I was really disappointed with episode 8. I'd thought we would see more of Rose's wedding/wedding dress. Rose's mother is an awful woman. Having Anna arrested, just like Bates in series 2 feels like the writers are running out of ideas. I hope the Christmas Special is good.

In Canada (and the US) the last series doesn't come out until probably January, so I have not seen it even though I am a fan of the show.  Looks like I'll have to be careful not to read spoilers on this forum.

Now I've seen the second series, yay!
Still like it. Trying to catch up to you all...
What is the newest episode? I'll want to get there till Christmas

Who is your fav character?
What do you find strange?
What touched you most?

Don't worry Whisky, even though I've seen the first 5 seasons I will still be behind for a while since the UK is always ahead of everyone else in the broadcast (Canada and US don't get it until January, and I might have to catch it on the network that airs it in the spring because I might not get to watch it before then)

But I will answer your questions based on what I've seen so far.
Favourite character(s): Anna, Tom Branson, Mr. Bates, the Dowager Countess Violet Crawley (because of her zingers), although to be honest I like them all at this point.
What I find strange:...interesting question Whisky, I'm not sure if there's anything I find strange.  At the moment, I cannot think of much.  Well, actually, carrying a dead Turk through the corridors would be a strange happening, so I guess that was a strange moment for the characters but it was just so funny and outrageous.
What touched me the most: a spoiler from season 5 which I will put in tags but please Whisky don't look because you need to experience it firsthand without expecting it

The season 5 finale, when they're singing Christmas carols and Mr. Bates is able to be there when we weren't expecting it, and he and Anna get to be together on Christmas.  I was in tears.

But before that, I think maybe some moment between Anna and Bates or something.

Lord, I've just watched last week's episode (the one with someone important's visit).

Lord Grantham's bursting ulcer...It really was impressive. I just...I think I need to lie down.
Mind you, Lady Edith's blooming romance was a tad unexpected -from her, I mean, not from the man ;)
But I liked how no one in the family thought her "meeting with a friend" (reminds me of someone, there) was actually a date.
At first, I thought that Mr. Clarkson might be a man difficult to live with -but his serving the Grantham family has possibly "spoilt" him a bit.

I agree, Ivy, the first episode was a bit boring, apart from the (frankly uncomfortable) sex talk between Mrs Patmore and Mr Clarkson for the benefit of Mrs Hughes. Lord, that part was...though uncomfortable to watch, it was hilarious.

 

It was like a horror film, at first I thought they must be joking, what am I watching here?! But I reckon a bursting ulcer doesn't look pretty, why not being realistic about it.
Carson didn't get better in last Sundays episode, he's such an ass. I love Bertie, he's lovely. Marys relationship with das Talbot guy is sooo boring, I couldn't care less.
