My Friend Margaret's Downton Abbey S2 E1 recap
Just a snippet of her genius and hilarious recap…
“After the explosive opening, the first metaphorical bombshell hits. Matthew, now serving for the British army, is engaged. And not to Mary. Sorry incest lovers, he’s fallen for a girl named Lavinia Swire and wants to bring her to Downton for dinner. Sad faces and dramatic music for everyone, especially the incest loving creeps. With impeccable timing, Grandma Crawley aka Professor McGonagall saves the day with one of her zingers. When it’s explained that Mary and Matthew will meet at the house because they are taking different modes of transport from London, Grandma McGonagall responds: “Well that’s a relief. I hate Greek drama. You know, where everything happens offstage.” We do too Professor, we do too. Ten points to Gryffindor.”
