Downton Abbey gave Maggie Smith a big honor in the series finale: the last line. Creator Julian Fellowes told Variety it was only fitting for Smith to get the last words to ever be uttered in the series. Fellowes said, "I felt it was right to finish on her." Smith, who plays the Dowager Countess, says "If only we had the choice." And just like that, Downton Abbey ended--until the inevitable movie or TV reunion special. Nothing has been confirmed, but both Fellowes has said he is open to revisiting the Crawley family down the line.
