i love how whenever matthew and mary argued, he always seemed to call her “darling”, “my darling” and say that he loved her. it just shows in a small way that his love for her was always bigger than whatever arguement they had and that is the mark of soul mates.

[@kepckatherinec805]

Downton was at its best before both Matthew and Sybil departed. The show was still great after they left, thanks to the skill of the writers. Nevertheless, something special departed along with the Matthew and Sybil characters.

[@l.a.3479]

​@@sneakymia1 You make some good points which I agree with except for one--Matthew was not happier with Lavinia.

[@laurenstich1049]

Exactly. Julian Fellowes must be admired for being thrown a monkey wrench with both Sybil and Matthew gone, but to his credit, he made Seasons 4-6 compelling enough to watch to the very end. But -- and it's a big but -- Downton Abbey was never the same and seemed to lose its soul with the death of Matthew, to me, the greatest loss of the show as he was not only the heir, but its moral compass. And I don't want to hear that he wasn't a good man because of Lavinia. Matthew was human -- he did love Lavinia, but was "in" love with Mary. Nevertheless, he was always going to do the right thing and marry Lavinia. And that's why Fellowes had to kill Lavinia off -- to free Matthew to finally be with Mary. But when he died, something very palpable was missing for the remainder of the series. A testament to Dan Stevens and how be brought to life the beloved character of Matthew Crawley.

[@helenhern893]

I love the last scene with Robert and Matthew- Matthew truly became his son. Dan stevens so incredibly handsome in this scene!

[@jm1657]

Agree; Dan Stevens seems at his handsomest when wearing dark colors, such as during that scene with Robert. I guess deeper shades are most flattering to his skin tone.

8:29 Wretched failure is the right way to describe Lord Grantham. First he needed Cora's money to bail out the estate, then he ran it into the ground _again_ to the point where he needed another bail out. It's a pattern that's recognisable in today's corporate world.

[@yadira2j]

To be fair, his father was the one that ran it into the ground first. He was still alive when Robert married Cora and he was the one that tied up her money with the estate. But Robert would've ruined it after this if Matthew hadn't been co-owner (he mentions investing into a man named Ponzi in a later episode).

[@lisamcallister6534]

It isn't always or usually mismanagement of funds that cause this. It is SO expensive to run an estate and especially of this size, that there is just not enough to cover. Less interest, more expenses, can ruin it all. He did make a sketchy investment that he thought was right...you can't always know what will tank. Until you have run an estate...it is very to say what will happen. Please consider this.

[@NorthJerseyJedi]

Because the show couldn’t continue if they had to sell. That’s the reason. But yes, Matthew was bullied by his spoiled b*tch of a wife to do something he thought was morally wrong because his Father in Law was a moron who wasn’t smart enough to run a post office let alone a county.

Investments into companies generally come with shares which, if the company is successful, give returns. Robert foolishly invested practically all of the money into shares in a rail company that went belly up, which meant any income he was banking on the company to eventually return on his investment, any money that would have been going into Downton, disappeared. He didn't go and invest every last penny into the rail company, he kept enough back to keep Downton running for a while, but not indefinitely, and when the company went belly up he knew that was it. They were sitting on a draining tap with no more money coming in, so they knew they would need to move to keep the lifestyle, because at the end of the day, the money needed to fund their lifestyle is pennies compared to the money needed to maintain the estate.
