Stringer Bell is back

[Keef]

They've had some great actors throughout IMO, the last 2 killers have both been pretty good in different ways.

Shame about the scripts though, but it's still fun enough viewing for a sober Tuesday night.

Keef, I think you've damned it with the faintest of praise, whether intentional or not, and I think you're correct, though not for continuing to watch it.

If I was watching it and someone came in and waggled a Sunday supplement couple of pages with sunglasses porn at me, I'd be away from the telly and snuffling towards the pictures of RayBans, like a RayBan sort of hound.

Anyway, all thoughts of Luther would be expunged.

A Littlewoods catalogue would suffice as well.

Only 2 episodes left now: wonder if there'll be a second series?

Will it be set free on DVD?

Would anyone buy it?

Well I know someone would, but would it be worth it?

[ImpetuousVrouw]

I don't care what all you naysayers say - I loved it!!

[giggirl]

I saw this last night at my friend's house. What a waste of a brilliant cast. Idris whatsisname is PURE CLASS. Psycho girl with the lovely red hair was the Donmar's Stella in Streetcar last year and she was faultless. They were all good. Shame that the plot is so improbable.

One thing has stuck in my mind though and I'm probably doing the wrong thing raising it here as I will probably be dragging the thread right down; but here goes. Luther asks a question of his sidekick: have you ever actualised a sexual fantasy and was it as good in reality as the the fantasy in your head? That got my full attention because, er, I've asked myself that question too. I've come to the conclusion that fantasies should stay in your head. Anyone think otherwise?

[Keef]

You're probably right, but at the same time, how many people would be likely to decline the offer to play one out in real life?

[Jah Lush]

That's a very good question GG and being an inveterate onnanist like myself one I've often fantasised about too.

[RosieH]

You're right GG, not a once have they come anywhere close.

[ImpetuousVrouw]

You lot must be hooking up with the wrong people then, cos I've had loads of sessions as good as my fantasies, and my fantasies are fairly wild! Saying that though, I've had my fair share of crap too!

I have to sigh, Impetuous, and reckon in my estimation, that you likely as not haven't had wild fantasies type sex and loads of 'sessions'. Hardly anyone does.

Any encounter becomes a big deal. Likely as not it was a one night stand. Or a series of them. That's good. Or good enough.

Most of the time people have to put up with these things.

Still.

[Keef]

No, I think it's just that you're having the wrong fantasies.

[ImpetuousVrouw]

Hmmm, well you will never know!

[RosieH]

Oooh, 'ark at 'er...

[RosieH]

Ok, so slight *spoiler alert* (but only slight).

BALLISTICS??? Fuck's sake. I want to like it, I do, but fucking hell, isn't that a massive hole in the plot right there?

Stoopid.

[Keef]

There have been a few like that. Don't think they believe in science.

[ImpetuousVrouw]

It was really good today. In regards ballistics, they didn't have any of the guns so how could they trace the bullets. If you are talking about the dodgy cop - his gun is unlikely to be police issue, now is it?

[RosieH]

So Luther's wandering round with a non-police issue gun? Assumed his was a cop gun, but maybe not.

HOWEVER, he was in the cafe with witnesses at the time of death (and the call the wife made to his phone would have seemed a bit odd if he was actually in the room with her shooting her, no?) Also (I've clearly watched too much CSI) isn't there some kind of gun powder residue on you when you've fired a gun, of which he would have none.

I know you love him Vrouw, and you know that I do too. But HOLES.

[Keef]

And no one seemed to notice that the bloke in hospital had been murdered last week.

[RosieH]

YES*!

*everything is very much in the affirmative today, capital letters all the way

[Huggers]

wouldnt it have been more sensible for him to have called an ambulance while he was running to the scene instead of having other time wasting conversations on the phone?

[ImpetuousVrouw]

But then he wouldn't have an excuse to run from the old bill and cause general mayhem, then what kind of storyline would we have?

BTW I was on about the white dodgy cop with the dodgy non-police issue gun, not Luther - Luther used a bible to bash the bad guy!
