of martians and butlers
what do martians and butlers have in common? more than you might think...if you have watched matt damon star in "the martian" you know that he has to use grit, perseverance, training and positivity to figure out how to survive on mars after being accidentally left behind by his crew.
and, if you've watched the season finale to downton abbey (this is a stretch of a transition, i'll grant you that) you know that the lead butler, carson, has to do the same in the face of changing times. well done, crew! i must say i am sad to see them go.
the creators of downton wrote such multi-faceted and dynamic characters, not to mention weaving all the story lines together. as the viewer, you already know the facets other characters have yet to learn, which makes for dramatic irony, sparring dialogue and just plain fun british style which, to some, is like life on another planet i'm quite sure.
