I mean, really? Seriously??!? Julian Fellowes deserves to be drawn and quartered, then fed to piranhas, and promptly fished out and burned while simultaneously being eaten by a pack of rabid dingos. I had heard the rumors, but I dared to hope they might not be true... or at least that they might be resolved in a less devastating, violent, and disgustingly unfair way. All this bull about "happiness being hard to dramatize" is complete and utter bollocks, and I won't stand for it. Not when my lovely fictional family is at stake! AND JUST WHEN THERE WAS SOME ACCEPTANCE AND CRAP GOING ON.
I. Am. NOT. Amused.
PM if you're likewise inclined to rant. I shall limit my "spoilers" to the aforementioned.
....
DEATH.

I don't know if you read tomandlorenzo.com, but in their recap, they've suggested (following this terrible episode) just jumping forward in time to WWII because the ending of this so badly derailed things. I haven't watched this season yet so I don't know if I disagree, but if it was as terrible as all that, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea :D
Plenty of American actors have done the same thing. George Clooney is a prime example of where that worked out well for him. Then there are others who thought it would result in a fabulous movie career that never materialized. Farrah Faucett Majors was the classic there.
