Height-Nonchalance

Well Neville has been my least favorite DI, so not sorry to see him move on. Among the rumours for the next DI is Simon Bird, and that sounds good to me. And what about Naomi (DS Thomas)? I like her just fine, but has she every been given a backstory or anything to do beyond support?

I'd hate to tell you how the British Prime Minister is selected.

Really, how many cases have to be solved with the-murder-did-not-occur-at-the-time-we're-meant-to-think before they consider that possibility at the start?

No one's enthralled with Beyond Paradise, and I agree. However, let's hear it for Dylan Llewellyn as Kelby. He's a breath of fresh air and I'm always happy when he appears in a scene.

S13E03: I just finished it and it's amazing; the best episode in years. Also, I'm really glad they gave Fred a big role since he's been so tame since he married Violet, and Cliff Parisi did a fantastic acting job.

There were two bits that I loved.

In the US, S13.E1 is available on PBS Passport. No spoilers, but I thought it was a very good, standard, installment. Several new characters are introduced, which seems promising. I look forward to the post about what was cut from the full UK version; one big gap is apparent. Nevertheless, a good start for the season.

I liked Season 1, but really just for Hardin and Aston. I don’t care about the storylines they've set up for the next season and would welcome a right turn with new side characters and situations. What else? I guess I'd like Lyle to return, and Todd's beard to depart.

Bring back Sister Winifred. Bring back Chummy.

They're doing to Daniel exactly what they did to Claire. Take a lively and engaging personality, throw a couple tough situations at them, and they become comatose bores.

Good episode but can we talk about Gregory's casual outfit? What was with that gold chain? Do people still wear those things?

I missed it: Why was Dominique kidnapped? Also, her roommate seems nice (ha ha).

I just came here to see if everyone else hates Bailey. Sure 'nuff. Also, Wesley is more weeny than bad ass.

Their portrayal of New York City is based on its reputation from the 1980s. The City is pretty well run, and no street goes without lines. But really more outrageous, since bagels were introduced in NYC the 19th century, no bagel shop has ever sold their product in bakery boxes; always paper bags. Always paper bags.

Really, I don't go around correcting people's grammar, but there was a line that was so wrong. Janine was saying her mother did or did not teach "my brother and I" something. Alright, big deal, it should have been "my brother and me," or better, "me and my brother," and that well-educated teacher would have said it correctly. Just amazes me that the line stayed wrong through writing, editing, reading, table read, and performance.
