Downton Abbey Season 4 Episode 1 **Spoilers**

Just finished watching episode 1. A little different at first(it almost seemed played out thematically) but by episodes end it had achieved a resonance for the characters and moved the story forward.
I found the most poignant moments to be when Isobel Crawley(Matthew's mother) confronted her feelings on her now changed identity due to Matthew's death-very good performance from her this episode. Of course Maggie Smith is always fantastic to watch and this was no differnt. Her plea to Mary was touching as well. I even enjoyed a little comedy from Mr. Molseley and the Dowager Countess' s butler(the guy was hilarious). Thomas once again satisfies personal vendettas while sucking up to the Crawleys all the while. All in all satisfying.
Looking forward to the new characters and storylines in the hope it remains interesting-but I will still watch it for the sets and cinematography as there were yet more stunning shots this episode.

Watched it tonight. Good episode that seems to set up some stuff for the rest of the season. Good to see Mary won't be moping around the whole season. As usual, Maggie Smith is great.

Why start an season/ episode thread now when almost all people have to be a pirate to watch it...

Pretty good episode
I'm glad Mary is back in the "land of the living" as they put it. Dont think I couldve taken a whole season of her wearing black and making everyone else uncomfortable
Maggie Smith was great and I enjoyed the story with Thomas and Moseley's as well
Looking forward to another great season
P.S Tubeplus is the way to go for me
