I loved it! The characters are like old friends.
Visually it was stunning, especially the long shots of Highclere Castle. And for us ladies, the costumes were gorgeous. I personally enjoy pomp and panoply and wasn't disappointed.
The plot wasn't as intense as some of the DA episodes we've seen, but does it really matter to those of us who really love DA? I doubt it. As a matter of fact, I plan to see it again. And when the DVD comes out I'll get that too.
