Our local PBS teamed up with the independant movie theater downtown to show the first episode Downton Abbey’s second season today. I went with my parents, and so naturally, I wore the cloche I got for Christmas.
I think we were the only people in the theater who knew what was coming since we had already seen the whole season (and Holiday Special) through the ~*powers of the internet*~ It was delightful to watch surrounded by other fans.
Highlights included:
- A woman in front of us who hid behind her coat during embarrassing or tense scenes. ♥
- The audience responding with “Ooooohhh!” like teenagers after everything Edith said to get a rise out of Mary.
- The hissing that Vera’s appearance inspired in the audience as a whole. (I think they would’ve started throwing tomatoes at the screen if the scene hadn’t ended when it did!)
- Sybil’s face. She was absolutely ENTRANCING on the big screen.
So yeah. Good day! We think they should do it every week!
