The 'Downton Abbey' Finale: What Happened?

Final episodes of "Masterpiece Classic" usually do not require a final summary, but "Downton Abbey" was so good, and so baffling to Sunday, you may need a word.

Has there ever been a miniseries where there have been fewer stories sewn?

Perhaps the greatness of creation, costumes and performance had us in mind of Jane Austen and romantic couplings seems clear from the beginning, but none of that happened in "Downton".

(Obviously, this is full of spoilers.)

Mainly the Virgin Mary, whose love he killed a Turk in episode two, seemed to be warming to the idea of marriage with his cousin and heir Matthew Crawley likely. But then a lot of things happened. The Countess of Grantham, the mother of Mary, was pregnant unlikely and possibly to provide a direct heir.

Cleaning intrigues O'Brien had left a bar of bath soap out of the countess, who caused his slip and fall and spontaneous abortion.

expected response of Mary to Matthew seemed based on the entire business heir, so she needs after miscarriage put it out. And he refused.

Before that, Mary had her revenge on her sister Lady Edith, who has the voice of the dead Turkish - effectively sending out her suitor that he would propose (Edith to thank her.)

Nothing much happened with the third sister of Lady Sybil, but continued his interest in politics and helped the maid of upward social mobility Gwen get a secretarial job. That may have been the story just perfectly bound, however.

In fact, instead of buttoning up the story, the writer Julian Fellowes, who instead opened a whole new can of worms, to announce the beginning of World War II to end the series.

It's amazing to think that the scene was written and produced long before had thought of making a second season. But "Downton Abbey" was so popular in England and the U.S. , A second season has been ordered. And maybe some of the stories will be collected and processed.
