Just as we are never told why Tony Gillingham wasn't the one other than he wasn't right, we are never told why Henry is. Henry Talbot was gorgeous and affable, got about five minutes of screen time in the season five finale and wasn't seen again until episode four of season six.

Yes, Mary got her first proposal from Matthew in one season, but he was a major character in 6 out of 7 episodes of that year. The romantic entanglements of the Crawley family largely drove the plot of the previous five seasons so I am bewildered as to why Mary, Edith and Tom wind up with barely established characters. Did anyone really care who killed the rapist? He was a rapist, he is dead, cheer and move on. Not to mention three seasons of depressing murder and rape plots I need never go through again. Nice to visit old friends, but I might prefer my own imaginings to what Julien Fellows would pen as I found Downton's swan song rushed with people seemingly shoved together just so they had someone to ride off into the sunset with. Honestly I am torn if I want this or not. All the main stories are suitably wrapped up and there are hints that maybe a few years down the road we will see George and his generation in WWII. The final season of Downton is both satisfying and disappointing.
