I don't like Miss Bunting either. She is so judgmental. I guess she is going to be Tom's new love interest but she's such a smug person, so very different from Sybil, I wish she weren't.

This is what women faced in real life and in some degree still do.
You're doing a much deeper analysis than I am. I think Bates wants revenge, pure and simple. He didn't like or trust Green from the start. Now that he knows Green raped Anna, I'll be disappointed in the writers if Bates doesn't take to heart, 'revenge is a dish best served cold.'

The plotline I'm unsure about is whether Edith leaves her child in Switzerland or gives it to the farmer. I wouldn't mind if she gives the kid to the farmer then next season shocks the family by marrying the guy.

That's exactly the scenario I was envisioning. I felt a spark when Edith and Mr Whatever met.

Tom certainly was not impressed at Miss Bunting's scorn toward his mother-in-law when she met Cora at the bazaar. I don't think they'll be much of an item at all. For all that Tom says he doesn't fit into the Crawleys' world, I think he would defend them to the death.

Oh, I am so totally with you on that. I can't stand her! Tom deserves better and I hope this doesn't end up going where I suspect it's going.

I will have to stream the first episodes because I just started watching it. Though I was lost due to missed episodes it was interesting. I'm trying to become of fan of this show.

I like the way Tom is beginning to acknowledge that he's found a way to fit, be it imperfectly. Being the spouse of a deceased child is an odd place to be, family by connection. And yet there IS that connection. I agree about Miss Bunting. He didn't like her instant judgement of Cora at all. I think in Miss Bunting he's seeing how much his perceptions have changed. Tom doesn't see class first anymore.

Well Green is dead from some cause. I'm sure he had others with it in for him. Or it could have actually been an accident. I don't think Bates would have gone to London and back just to kill him since he's learned how to be cautious. If he could do it some other way without endangering himself then sure he would. How far away from London is York anyway? If he took a train there someone might remember him.

I'm thinking it will move on to be about Anna and how she isn't fine.

I have become very fond of Tom. I like him so much. Miss Bunting is a reverse snob and she is also a snot. I hope this is not a long term relationship for him.

So, I actually checked and it's around 200 miles from York to London. I didn't try to find 1920's train schedules
