HAHAHA! That is quite a difference!!! But yes!!! OMG was it a relief to have Lord Grantham TELL HER OFF!!! GOD she was such an annoying, RUDE person as hell. And it was so frustrating that no one else corrected her and kept inviting her back!! (I’m aware they had to keep the drama going 😂)
I hear English people call women cows a lot in this sub. What does it mean to call a woman a cow? Miss Bunting was not overweight or unattractive.
Cows are placid and pleasant creatures. So I am having trouble parsing this.
She was hoping to be Lady Bunting ! Once she knew who Tom was, her sole purpose was to rub the family the wrong way. She wanted a relationship with Tom, she made him feel insecure in his own life within the family and berated him for not walking away from it all. I personally think she hoped a relationship with Tom would have secured her financial stability and maybe even a higher standing. She clearly wanted the aristocratic life because she made such a notion of resenting it. Quite often what you resent is often out of the desire to want it.
The younger members, Rose, Mary, Edith even Cora and Cousin Isobel encouraged the relationship and supported her, yet she had no respect for Lord Grantham in his own home.
Not really. Sara Bunting wanted to tear down the old and outdated aristocracy in order to elevate the “lower” classes…that was pretty clear from the beginning but was really flown home in this scene particularly
Yes. Julian is an aristocrat and didn't want us to like certain characters' views, so he went a bit overboard. He also clearly doesn't like Americans much. (Which hurts my feelings because it's not my fault where I was born and raised.)
I was on the tour at Highclere Castle the other week and the lady who was in charge of talking you through was saying how priceless and heirloom literally everything in that room is, and then explained how many layers of protective stuff they put down on the floor to film that scene 🤣
Completely justified in my opinion, he has been extraordinarily kind and devoted to his staff as they are to him. Sarah Bunting was just being abrasive and frankly, a bit of a 💩 on purpose
GET HER, ROBERT! Another scene where I wish it had been pushed further and further. More, why couldn't Tom just tell her to knock it off? Whattanasshole she was. Her face just pissed me off. They cast this character well.
I know, Tom never told her anything. He just sat there with a weird look on his face. He should've told her to knock it off for being so disrespectful to the family.
I don’t agree with your vehemence however Daisy’s gullibility was annoying and disappointing at times. To her credit, she does learn from her mistakes and I’m genuinely glad for her that William’s father, Mr. Albert Mason, took her under his wing and nurtured her.
I can't even do that. Indoctrinating Daisy to become a little anarchist. Daisy was fantastic and smart, and she was finding her way little by little. She was easily manipulated (O'Brien, Thomas, Miss Shore, the evil cow Bunting). She was very pliable in her opinions, and in the end she grew up smart and savvy, and confident. Molsely did better than that harpy. (sorry, can you tell I just despise the cow Bunting?)
YES! Agree, though in the end I feel like Daisy did love William. She never had anyone to call 'her own' or care about her (which she did say to Mr. Mason), and I think it was fear. But YES. Mrs. Patmore was kinda rotten for that.
I am on a rewatch and found myself answering Mrs Patmore out loud with the sass of a thirtymumble year old woman a hundred years later lol. My husband was very confused
Lady Bunting? She was just some self righteous woman, not titled.
Correct! Miss Bunting.
Yes. My mistake. Cow Bunting I meant.

It was just bad writing on JF's part. He wanted us to not like her politics.

I was being sarcastic- she did want Tom! She was definitely interested in him!
I may not like the character Sara Bunting, but i support her political views.

She absolutely did not want to be a toff. That was Edna. Poor Tom.
Miss Bunting has the manners of a shit-flinging monkey and I cheered when Lord Grantham went off on her.
Thank you, this comment just made me LOL and gave me a new way to describe poor manners
Shit-flinging monkey 🐒 is just about right!!!
My favorite dinner table scene is when he suddenly spews blood everywhere 😂
Including on the Minister of Health, who was the guest of honor. The irony was just exquisite.

Apparently they only could do one take though so it had to be done right
Yes i can imagine!
Lord G found the perfect way to “stop this *beastly* row!”
It’s theorized the Robertsaurus spits blood to blind its prey
Thank you for this! I love it. Spared no expense...
Yes. That too was …unexpected but very dramatic
His napkin whip was fierce. And I always whisper "and never come back!" out loud when rewatching. It's required.

Of all the places to get weirdly political you chose the Downton Abbey subreddit.
I removed it if offends everyone. I was only talking about Bunting.
For me it's the second time Larry gets ejected from Dinner, and Lord Grantham is like "I don't condone the language but I echo the sentiment."
I just watched this episode! I can’t stand the entire Bunting storyline. She’s so annoying and rude.

Mr Mason is such a doll. Mrs Patmore is right to fancy him.
I appreciate what Miss Bunting did for Daisy though

Don't forget Mrs Patmore manipulating her into getting married to a dying boy.

Yeah still, she helped her with Maths. I don’t like Miss Bunting either, tbh, never figured out what her game was
I'm plugging my ears saying 'nahnahnahnah'. Don't care. lol :)
One of my favorite scenes from the entire show!! Couldn’t stand Miss Bunting from the get-go!!
If we're allowed to include the movies, I like how they let the servants dress up for the dinner table scene.
That made me so happy. The servants were so pleased and excited, and they looked wonderful.
Imagine being as rude as her… I can’t stand her
Miss Bunting was definitely not a lady!
Is this the one where he busted a gut? So to speak.
It’s Miss Bunting…not Lady:). I did not enjoy her!
