  1. Exactly! I was thinking, 'but she's not chaste, she's had a kid'!! Even expected she and Ulthred to chuckle over that later about how the Witan was taken in so quickly but that. It will be quite disappointing if this is the end for them. Yes for some reason I call her Brigida because she irks me so much. Really enjoyed the character Sitryggr.( apologies for poor spelling) I liked his mix of gentleness and suppressed violence...lol
  2. Can someone off Brigida please? And is it just me but the ultra enunciated way Alfred's wife talks this season, rings so false in my ear. Also her face is too smooth. Did Ultred and his men run all the way to Winchester? Wow.. Edward's charge towards the citadel of Winchester was just......😣
  3. Keep watching! You still won't know who's bent and who is not. What are they waiting for to bring the next season?
  4. Agreed. I felt I was physically there. 10 episodes are too short. I wanted to see more Athelflaed, Athelred, his adviser, Hild instead of Skade, Haeston, Bloodhair in short enough of the Danes!!! But Ragnar why? WHY??!!!!😵😭
  5. I think I agree with you, Pasdetrois. I am out.
  6. Velcro bullet proof bra. She never goes anywhere without it.
  7. Well if I am describing someone that looks different from me, I would certainly mention it.. Lol the default would be if the person looks like me in a roomful of people who look like me. Anyway I was almost taken aback by her acting the girl with her yelling 'let me out'. Served her right indeed. Her smirking was getting on my nerves.
  8. I agree about this episode. I could see where the writer could not contain herself and let some 'womanish impulse' show. Why on earth should Eve be wearing the perfume? I think Sandra Oh's acting saved the gravity of the situation. Also I felt the Frank killing scene went on a bit too long and some of the convo was unnecessary, unlike when she engaged in convo with the woman she felled in the bathroom. Yes Villanelle is menacing but the writer should not have too much fun with the character and make her too free and relaxed. I always find myself wondering why she does not act like something may go wrong? She is always cocksure the victim will fall by her hand no matter how long it took. Which kind of takes away from her scenes with Eve and why she doesn't just as soon 'off' her? They really should have less face to face contact, to keep things sufficiently tense and suspenseful. Oh well......... I like shows by women and with women like this one but sometimes, I don't want to see too much femininity especially if the subject matter is a grave one. It annoys me and makes me roll my eyes and want to say, 'Women'!
  9. I don't care what you all say. It was an excellent series and well done again by the Beeb. I hope it returns. I have no problem watching Russian anything on TV and Norton was great - inscrutable, deep, and knows/feels more than he lets on. I believed him in this role.
  10. Before I read posts I just want to say YES! YES! YES! FINALLY!!! What were you guys waiting for to bring this show on here???? I was waiting and waiting and checking over and over... Fantastic show and series.
  11. The male assassin was a typical stereotype - must be the type that performs only from rooftops complete with the elaborate suitcase full of weaponry and not very bright. His style was really eye-roll worthy. So much noise and attention. Couldn't he see that the whole assignment was going to be messy with the 3 of them??? sent to terminate 1 person??? Also can anyone tell me why she was just walking behind Frank instead of running after him??? All the time I as shouting, 'He's a goner, for sure!!! Why should he survive when Bill did not"?? But alas, looks like he did. I also like the fact that Eve when she helped Frank over the fence, left the car door OPEN in anticipation that they wouldn't have much time. I hate in a movie, when there's a supposed getaway and the doors are shut while the occupants are sitting calmly waiting for that person to run up, breathing hard and then try to open the door, wasting precious minutes. While the people are sitting inside shouting ., 'hurry up!!! lool......................so stupid. Also wanted to add that I liked that she was missing her shots. It showed her style is more up close, unlike the 'pumpkin' guy.
  12. He lost their bags, now he sees a lady wearing her scarf?? Of course he was not sure......that's why he followed. Remember he was eye-rolling anytime Eve said 'it was a woman' theory? I saw it as a mixture of 'what the........? could this be her?? ' kind of curiosity. As soon as he followed as long as he did........I knew he was a goner. The handler too is a goner with his 'I don't trust you any more'...... And me again noticing her clothing........what was she wearing in that club??? It looked like a severe suit but an ugly one.....
  13. Yes of course! She leaves them there for the police to discover and she gets away. I don't even know why I asked this......so obvious. Yes Sebastien is the obvious one that needed to be disposed. Still that large pink dress.................
  14. I don't know what to make of the show. It's engrossing, a bit humorous and violent. First of all let me just I really like and appreciate the way British shows integrate diversity sooo effortlessly. The writing, the characterization is normal and no dynamic overshadows the other. I enjoy them mostly for this. They have absolutely no problem with this no matter the subject matter of theme. What was she wearing at the so-called evaluation?? I kept trying to understand if she was playing a role or .........I did not get it. The handler really disappointed me. I thought he was like an aging former assassin who now knows every trick in the book, only to have his pocket picket using the oldest trick in the book. I think he's not long for this world. That bathroom scene with the perfume took me out of the story. I kept expecting someone to come in which would have been normal. And besides how are the bodies disposed of? I can buy the set up of an international assassin moving from city to city but the bodies?? I need something just a tiny bit credible. But I like the show. Kudos to British shows which almost never disappoints.
  15. I am just here for my Naija babe! Okafor representing! Although I wonder how they came up with her first name, Mina. Anyway the show is good. I have been around doctors all my life - siblings, family members, friends, even married one. Their arrogance is not to be believed, though I think the main guy overdoes it. Why doesn't he wear a white coat or scrubs like the others? Is it just me or does anybody else notice a strange chemistry ( not romantic ooo, bah!) between Bell and Mina? Two arrogant and competent people trying to best each other. I hope he truly comes to like (again not romantic) and respect her. The banter/sparring will be something to see.
  16. I have to agree with GreenKnight here as someone who definitely preferred Mary. She did not grow at all and yes it was likely mostly because of the Pamuk blow for which Edith NEVER took responsibility for, and quite accepted considering that she was never sorry. She meant to ruin Mary. But in later seasons she became indifferent to her digs and learnt to ignore Mary. Mary on the other hand became colder and very unsympathetic. I found myself wishing her a horrible marriage. lol But as Edith VEE Mary.....may it never end! One of the shows most resonant and realistic story lines.
  17. Lol.......even the actress said she was ******* as quoted above. I saw that interview. Seriously Edith was something else in season one. It was as if she lived to interject herself unpleasantly into situations and conversations. I rather enjoyed watching her because of it, complete with that self-satisfied smirk she always wore. I did not care for her after that season one though - became too grave and her eyes filled too easily with tears after yet another 'smack' from Mary or her father. Urgh!
  18. When is season 3 coming back??? whaaa whaaa........yes I'm a baby about this.
  19. A strong attraction perhaps? Must it be love outright? What about the black nurse? I liked her and Morse did not treat her well.
  20. You guys are lucky. I simply gave up. Contrary to the books this adaptation is too simply drawn - like everyone's actions are too straight forward and obvious. I like my characters having hidden depths so I can try to decipher their motives through the actions shown me on the screen. This is the best way I can describe my annoyance with this version. I am no longer watching but I find this comment section more enlightening.
  21. Please the show 'Remember me', now that was nonsensical.
  22. Lol you guys are funny. I hope it comes back for a second season! 's been done afore! I mean I am still waiting for Happy Valley which hasn't even begun shooting. So could happen!
