Meenzer 15342 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Had to record this because housemates would have talked through it. But now I'm stuck watching the Sound of Music... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15342 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Finally got round to devouring season 2 of Scandal over the last few days. I'm a fan. Naturally the fella ended up in a Twitter conversation about the show with one of Love City Groove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4669 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Just finished season one of Homeland. Thoroughly enjoyed it although a bit disappointed by the ending. Hoping for a 24 style resolution / next season where as now it looks as though the cat and mouse will continue on. Can see him running for President followed by a typical tie up further down the line. (Hope I'm wrong). And too much Jazz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Started watching The Bridge II last night, despite not having seen the first series. I enjoyed it so will be getting stuck into the first one asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1216 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Neither of them have been up with the best eps they've done but it's still a lot better than most of the shite BBC & ITV put out these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 In terms of story, plot, writing, inventive situations and solutions it's a bit emperors new clothes. It's set up as being clever but when you think it through the situations don't hold water. For example... The roof fall was a complete copout. While I was impressed at the big "fuck you" at fans pining for answers, to offer none and take this piss out of any that are suggested was just bollocks. It renders any and every episode pointless in that they can just promise you Sherlock fixed things and tell you not to worry how. The wedding one was the more entertaining of the 2 so far, but the string of coincidences that saw them investigate 2 random cases that were then linked to the wedding day murder was daft...and i still don't know why the murderer was getting into all those women. ...but I might be stupid and just didn't understand them myself. What you can't take away from it is the production value. That's always brilliant and worth watching for alone. I always get more enjoyment from the flashy editing than the storylines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13760 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Sherlock's focus has shifted from the mysteries to the Sherlock and Watson relationship so it depends on how much you like that stuff. Luckily, the performances from the pair are very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30159 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I stopped watching it a couple of episodes into the third series and I guess I've ruined it now by reading about the finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always get more enjoyment from the flashy editing than the storylines Sherlock explained how he did it to the Andersen. That was the real explanation and the use of Andersen (now an obsessed fanboy of sorts) and his doubtful reaction was the clever way of anticipating the likely reaction of the fans to any genuine explanation if they had given it simply. The writers gave the genuine explanation but then mocked how the fans would have reacted to it. I think.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4669 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Season 3 is better than Season 2. I'm quite enjoying season 2 bar her turmoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye it would inevitably have got a doubtful reaction because it was bollocks, but like you say they'd written him into a situation where whatever they did would have been bollocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I watched the first episode of 3 under protest, and haven't been back since. There's a peak halfway through season 3 that results in a really annoying reveal that's just bollocks, and then it builds again to a really exciting/solid conclusion which a series so similar to 24 demands I think. I appreciated that rather than the open ended cliffhangers which falsely suggest the writers are doing any more than winging it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
