The End of the War is Announced | Downton Abbey

Ойын-сауық

Clip from Season 2, Episode 6: With the end of the war in sight, it looks as though it won't be too long before life can return to relative normality at Downton Abbey, however, Cora and Isobel clash once more over what is to be done with the house when the Armistice is declared. A Canadian officer arrives at Downton to assist in his return to health but some of the things he imparts to Lady Edith could cause problems for the Crawley family. Meanwhile, Bates once again finds that he has to deal with Vera and must travel to London to do so. His Lordship tells him to keep calm, but will he be able to do so? Ethel is struggling as a new mother but is receiving a lot of help and support from Mrs. Hughes until Mr. Carson finds out, which may possibly be problematic for all concerned.

    Really? Andy? I don't see that. He seems like a very nice guy. He seemed to be a bit frustrated by Mr. Mason always being around but that's understandable, he wants to be alone with Daisy sometimes. Reminds me of a situation on the show "The Waltons" if you're at all familiar with that show, it was an American drama set during the Great Depression in Virginia and ran through the 70's. The eldest daughter Mary Ellen had married but her husband Kurt had no family. She had a bit family who visited... all the time! Kurt wanted time alone with her but they were always coming around. But his mother in law who'd had the same problem when she married suggested he buy this plant and when the family came around, if that plant was in view they were to leave them alone! It worked lol. Maybe Daisy and Andy need a plant. Problem is, it's his farm lol.

    Yes. Daisy's connection with William was much stronger than she realized, too, because she felt it the moment William was badly injured on the battlefield (as Mary felt it the moment Matthew was injured in the same incident). You don't feel it like that unless you have a very strong connection to the person. I'm not sure Daisy ever did realize that, but I'm so glad that she eventually had that talk with William's father. Mr. Mason is a wise and good man who enabled her to understand that she did the right thing by marrying William.

    Instigation aside. The Treaty created the perfect environment for the Nazi party to flourish because it made the German people desperate enough to turn to a group like the Nazi party that harnessed their anger at how they were treated post-war and stoked it further. It got ugly cause the treaty was a product of the old way of thinking, which was petty and punitive. Despite the world having just gotten out of this new kind of war, few were bothered to think about the long-term effect enacting such measures would have. The more you learn about the key moves and people involved both pre and post-war the more horribly clear it becomes how easily avoidable a lot of it could have been, and had certain people given more thought the war might not have sparked off at all.

    Why did you keep in the scene with P Gordon (the claimant to the Earldom with burns)? Although it's from the same episode it doesn't have anything to do with this video's topic of the end of the war being announced. It just adds a weird, unfitting interlude to these touching scenes. Other than that, great video as always.

They don't explicitly answer the question of whether or not he was an imposter or not, but it's subtly referenced in parts of the script that he was an imposter. I think it could have been a really powerful story if they properly executed it over a season arc perhaps, or after Matthew died, but alas, it was a one-episode bit of weirdness.

    Its a neccessary display of the facr that for many a war doesnt end when the bullets stop lying. For many the enemy is shell shock PTSD psychlogical damage and a lifetime of needing care.

    @@samprimera5545 You were right initially that it was deliberatly ambiguous. Nothing was ever proven. One explanation offered was that he was Peter Gordon pretending, but his original account (that he survived the Titanic with amnesia, lived in Canada, and regained his memory as a side affect of shock after a vicious shelling) was never categorically disproven. Notably, Mary never believed him, whilst Edith is convinced he was telling the truth. The others are unsure, as P. Gordon leaves early. But whether this was to avoid being exposed as a fraud, or because he'd given up and realised they would never believe him, is left unanswered.

    @@benlowe1701 They didn't answer it absolutely, but I believe he was a fraud. Among other things, one doesn't change speaking accent due to amnesia. Their cousin had a proper British accent, and he would still have had it after waking up with amnesia. Second, I remember in this episode that this man left suddenly as soon as Edith told him that the lawyers were going to investigate his story so that the Crawleys could be certain. I think he knew the formal investigation would discover his fraud, so he left before that happened. I'm not surprised that Edith believed him and even thought she recognized him, because she was lonely for love and had been in love with their cousin, so he used the power of suggestion on her.
