Downton Abbey 6.7: Sneak Preview Review

Downton Abbey - 6.7, the next-to-last episode of the series! - to air on PBS next Sunday. It was a strong, possibly pivotal episode.  In what follows, I\'ll talk in generalities, and mention no specific people.  But if you prefer not to get even an inkling of what will be on the screen next Sunday, read on no further.

I\'ll start right out by saying there\'s a death in this episode, and one which has considerable impact on one of our characters.  Whether this impact is lasting or final remains to be seen.

Another one of our major characters suddenly decides to go abroad.  Whether this will be the last we\'ll see of this character in the series also remains to be seen.

The two health crises are apparently both under control.  With only one episode left, I think we\'re in pretty good shape, but you never know.

On the romance side, we have two de facto proposals of marriage, but only one looks good to go. Meanwhile, speaking of marriages, the big one this season is proceeding with good humor.

There is one character who is being increasingly left out in the cold.  I hope this is not building up to something bad happening with this character.  Sentimentalist that I am, I rooting for everyone at this point to survive and thrive.

And I\'ll be back here next week with a sneak preview review of the final episode of

Dear Paul, I just dreamed of airships flying between raindrops. I just returned from 2042 CE, where I sold my hardcover copy of The Plot to Save Socrates for seventy million Neo-Euros, because it had your response to this e-mail from way back in 2007 scotch-taped onto the inside of the cover. A Paul Levinson collector paid top Neo-Euro, because of the authentic archaic e-mail printout from you. It turns out that not many of your e-mails from before your tenure as CEO of HBO/Cinemax and terms as United Nations Secretary General will survive that far into the future. So, please respond to this e-mail, to help found my great-grandchildren\'s fortune. My Will will stipulate that they must share with your great grandchidren. Thanks! Tom
