I JUST HAVE LOTS OF FEELINGS ABOUT DOWNTON ABBEY

So last season was pretty great, in that it started out pretending to be a srs bsns drama and then CAST OF THE SHACKLES OF DIGNITY and embraced THE CRACK.  Which was nice.  Only this season, it has amped up into FULL SPARKLY TEXT CAPSLOCK LEVEL MELODRAMA, and I'm not sure my poor nerves can take it.  I'm not saying that I had a stress dream about Matthew and Mary, but in amongst a whole lot of other things, including that time we all belatedly realised that River Song's first appearance was actually in Star Trek Voyager, because such is the power of the Moff, apparently, there was some stress.

( Spoilers up to episode ... whatever it was that just aired. )
