Daisy's character arc was beautiful and so multi layered through the series. This plot line with William is tragic and sublime

So well-written and acted. The whole production had high standards and I believe that's what made it so acclaimed world-wide. <br>I never tire of seeing it.

The whole white feather thing in WW1 did nothing but guilt-trip young men into essentially walking to their deaths. If those women were so adamant to join, they should've campaigned to do so, like so many other women did at the time, or joined the auxiliary nurses, or something productive.

I only noticed recently that when mrs patmore enters the room and talks to daisy, you can hear the ticking of the clock on the mantle. But it stops as William dies

The parts shown in this clip alone are enough to convey the futility, silliness and absolute cruelty of the First World War. Even knowing the history of how that war came about, I still cannot understand for what exactly we were fighting for. An utterly pointless war that should never have happened and only served to set the stage for despot fascists to start the second. I suppose the whole point of Downtown Abbey starting its story in the 1910s was to highlight the period that saw not only the fall of empires, but also the emancipation not only of women but of the working classes of Europe and the demise of the aristocracy with many European countries seeing a complete abolition of their monarchies. Most extreme of course in Russia which went from a monarchy to a one party dictatorship in one full sweep. This being highlighted by when Martha greets Violet after the war and refers to 'monarchies fall and yet the bride cannot see the groom the night before the wedding' (not an accurate quote). Yet, here we are again with the winds of war blowing in eastern Europe and the Middle East and I wonder if we have the sense and strength to avoid it becoming something bigger. Perhaps not this time, perhaps not next time, but it is probably sadly only a matter of time before it happens. What should be an 'if' remains at large a 'when'. Despite the human race being the most intelligent on this planet, we also strong traits of being at times, the most stupid.

Who doesn't like British humor while maintaining a balance in life is sometimes hard to do for everyone?

Daisy's marriage to will, was both heartbreaking and heartwarming, that though she didn't truly love him the way he felt for her, she did it purely selflessly (with some convincing) to give him comfort and his father comfort in his last days. She was somewhat right that it was dishonest, but if she had to live with a guilty conscience in order to give Will and his father some happiness, she did it anyways.
