    DOWNTON ABBEY

    last night i finished watchin season 2; but i am not done with my passion and addiction; now i am searching the blogs for chats, talks and speculation about what’s coming

    (I am still addicted)

    maggie smith is fantastic; she’s such a treasure, it would be a tragedy if she were not to sign up for season 4… as rumor goes

    season 3 is in the works and will start showing in the US in JAN 2013

    season 4 is only a blink in the producer’s eye at this point, but the thought that the season might continue without 77 yr old maggie smith has the fans panicking

    with good reason, her character and her acting are awesome

    RT @jameschappers: Serious dismay in Whitehall at Romney debut. ‘Worse than Sarah Palin.’ ‘Total car crash’. Two of the kinder verdicts
