I love Thomas Barrow. He's such a well-written character. Also love that he's a gay character, which gives LGBTQ representation

“I’m not foul, Mr. Carson. I’m not the same as you, but I’m not foul.” This line hit hard. I’ve had similar struggles to him, and being referred to as something as less than human- Something to be disgusted at- Has always hurt the deepest. Barrow really is an awesome character.

Same here. It was my dad, and not foul, but defective.

"Even Mr. Carson wasn't born standing to attention." "I hope not, for his mother's sake."

I love how Thomas is truly a protector of the children. The way the children showed their affection for him was a tearful moment. He needed unconditional love, and the children gave him that.

The relationship between Thomas and the children is so special and heartwarming. It’s been implied that Thomas was abused as a child so he doesn’t want George or Sybbie to feel unloved or neglected for a moment. They bring out the best in him. A part of him likely considers them to be HIS children in spirit, as he’ll never be able to have any of his own.

One of the best characters for sure. I love that his relationship with George mirrors Mary's relationship with mr. Carson.

That was probably one of the best comebacks in the whole series! I wonder if that was actually scripted or ad libbed :)

Most complex character in the whole show.

What is the greatest achievement in this show is that no character was wasted. Every single one was well written, well rounded and almost felt too real for a fiction. And Barrow is one of the best. It is easy to have character that is always goody2shoes but to have a character like Barrow who went through all personality phases, from bad to good, from nasty to kind, from repulsive to sweet is just one of the rare gems on TV. Adding to that his sexuality and you have character for ages. In his eyes, expressions and deeds you can see troubled life he had. A superb acting by Rob James-Collier who managed to stand next to a likes of Dame Maggie Smith and shine. Bravo!

Yes! Finally! Thomas is by far the most complex character in the show! That's why he's my favorite! Kudos to Rob James-Collier for such a wonderful performance!

These scenes being shown out of order really gives me whiplash!

In "A New Era", his scene with Mrs Hughes where he talks about Ellis hit especially hard, resigning himself for a lonely life, starting to know that feeling more and more. He's definitely a character that has grown rather substantially from the very beginning.

I swear Barrow and George are the next Carson and Mary.. the creators should REALLY flesh out this relationship!

That really shows how they all realize Thomas belongs there and is needed there, especially needed by the future Earl… Thomas ditching the kids and running off to America in a New Era was SO out of character that the film doesn’t even exist to me.

Just saw these clips. Robert James-Collier has given the most finely tuned performance in the series and films. And that's saying a lot considering the extraordinary quality of most of the other performances.

I’m late to the “Downton Abbey” party! Even though others tried to talk me into watching, I only started watching in Dec. 2022 ... in the hospital (a week) since their cable was horrid! I turned on my cell phone and saw it streaming on Peacock. I’m addicted! As I’m still convalescing, I’ve watched all seasons FOUR times already (it’s Feb 2023!) because now I can’t watch anything else! Nothing comes close to “Downton Abbey” standards! The beautiful & talented cast, the storylines, the MUSIC, scenery, the castle, etc! ❤️ “Thomas” is my favorite! Loved the bear dance with him and Daisy! Thank you!

He reminds me a lot about Hank Voight from Chicago PD. They both have their strong suits as well as their weaknesses. They both have done and said things. Neither chooses to be the way they are. Both have had friends and enemies come and go. They both have evolved. They both have had their pitfuls and still had support through it all. They have done bad things for the right reasons to help and protect those they care about. Both have soft spots for children and both have at time used those closest to them to help them with their schemes but in the end proved to still have hearts of gold. It's like he said to Mr Carson "I'm not like you but I'm not foul". Meaning that he may not be as good as Mr Carson but he is not evil. You can't judge a book by its cover just like how you can't judge a person by their past or by their ways.

@12classics39

Жыл бұрын

I wanted him to find love too, but I liked how the series ultimately showed that he wasn’t defined by his struggles to find a relationship. Nobody should be defined by romance. He has special friendships with George, Sybbie, and Baxter, he’s finally earned the respect from the Crawleys that he always wanted, he’s become a better person, Downton has become his home, he got to be the butler which was his dream job from the start, and the family & servants have come to need him as much as he needs them. Then the movies erased all of that development and reduced his worth to romances; when he runs off with the rich actor which is guaranteed to be an unhealthy and unequal relationship, it’s no different from his desire to run off with the Duke in the pilot. He’s grown out of that now, and I despise the way the films destroyed that. The series finale closes his character arc by enabling him to discover he has a true purpose at Downton, not only as the butler, but also as the Carson to George’s Mary. And when WWII breaks out, Thomas’ medical experience and empathy for the marginalized will undoubtedly make him the perfect person to be in charge of Downton being a safe haven for Jewish refugees as well as the wounded. Plus on the topic of romance, EVERYONE at Downton knows and accepts Thomas for who he is. He’s free to be himself there, especially with him being the butler, I’m sure that Robert and Mary will allow him to have a private relationship with someone, perhaps a servant at a nearby estate or a future coworker.

Because I didn’t feel like it 😭😭😭😂😂😂

“Why not? She’s a woman ain’t she?” “Only technically” 🤣

Also because she can read and become more aware she talks down to the likes of Miss Pattmore etc...Lady Edith has like zero character development. She has no real relationships with staff and once refered Tom to just the choffer even after sybil died. She had zero symphaty for Marigolds adopted mother (forgot her name) but she was so selfish in thinking the family who raied marigold would not care. Barrow literally saved her life and nothing also remember when carlson got a heart attack and all she cared about was the dress. In the end of last season she also looks down at Marys new lover because hes of no noble background and just a driver. She is not aware that Tom comes from the same working class background. Mary is bad too but she has growth and cares about the staff.
