funny how we have our favorites and not so favorites with this series, and passionately.
I think i'm quite in the minority with thinking E McGovern doesn't quite fit in. Also, and don't hate me, but I'm so very tired of the Mary Matthew thing. It just is not magical to me-- at all. as much as I disliked Carlisle, at least there were some sparks and life in him. have you read through the recaps and comments in the link that Joe provided? quite a hoot. And bring on Shirley MacClain in the 3rd season---what a pairing that will be with Maggie Smith. fun.
