yes, i also didn't realize it was the new season as when they announced it originally, january sounded so far away! and here we are...enjoyed both the pre-show and the first episode of the new season....will be sorry to see it end.
if you have ever seen the 1954 film The Leopard with Burt Lancaster, the theme was the changing order of society in Italy with the demise of the nobility and the ascension of the common man. the same kind of melancholy which saw the end of the Edwardian and Victorian periods and the advent of modern times. funny how although all of us "average" people benefited from these changes, we somewhere deep in our collective psyche seem to still long for those glory days of grand estates, noble titles and correct appearances. why do you think that is?
