[The Killing - General Discussion]

I really liked Season 1 and was so glad when it got renewed.  Don't remember S2 though other than it brought Linder and Holder which carried me on.

S3 was a decent watch acting wise but thought the whole death row thing an overheated distraction and wasn't sure why it was in there. 

Absoutely did not buy Skinner as the killer.  His speech in the car about killing.......weak, althought maybe thats what the BTK guy would have sounded like IDK.

(The idea of sleeping with a serial killer, that doesn't get explored much does it?  Sure the betrayal, the holy cow I really didn't know him,like any normal relationship that someone cheats etc.but not so much the physical part.  I think I would have to have my vagina surgcially removed or something. Totally creeps me out in a huge way). 

Loved S4.  A really good bookend to S1.  It started slow and built up nicely.  It was hard to watch Linden and Holder be mean to each other I didn't exactly enjoy that but thought it was realistic for a 6 episode arc. 

Despite some of the above questions about plot I saw this as a pretty feasible crime story. 

I thought some of the, er, sceneography? (not a word) was great.  Holder shouting where is he? at the church, Linden looking in the interrogation room mirroe and seeing herself alone, with Holder outside watching. 

I liked the ambiguity of the ending because I am not a shipper and for some reason the thought of them having sex makes me feel uncomfortable.  

  I like to believe that a good solid friendship can be as, even more powerful, than sexual relationships even though we rarely if ever seen them portrayed on tv. 

 

Thanks Netflix for the closure.

 

You know I just realized this post probably doesn't belong in the epi 6 - we need a 'I just binged watched this going to comment on the whole season' thread? 

[S01.E10: 1984]

I keep coming here hoping to see news of S2.  I loved the show.  Typically S1 is my favorite and downhill from there but that doesn't mean i'm ready for this to be over! 

[Doc Martin - General Discussion]

Somehow I missed nd keep missing season 6!  My PBS station has Doc Martin reruns but no season 6 yet:(

[S28.E06: Head of the Snake]

I thought last nights flip was sort of weird.  I feel like I just don't trust the edit. 

How many times did they show Kass trying to get Sarah to tell her why they shouldn't vote out Trish or Tony and Sarah  not really giving a satisfactory answer?  She said Trish and Tony weren't threats when clearly they are.  And it was pretty freaking obvious that the subtext there is - "tell me why you refuse to consider Trish in a way that makes me feel like you don't have some sort of secret alliance with her or Tony?"  Because I felt like that's what Kass was expressing and Sarah didn't say the right things.  Everytime Sarah refused to consider them period dot fuck you I'm not going to vote for them - its like a huge red flag.  I totally got where Kass was coming from and I think that Sarah is the new person, she should be "sure, I know I'm an untested tribe member for 6, just tell me who to vote for".  I feel like Tasha should have backed Kass up on that. 

Again with the edit, why did they only show just Sarah and Kass to deciding who to vote out?  Clearly a lot more was going on.  The back up plan to vote out J what's her face was pretty good, I expected it to be the other guy with the idol. 

And for Sarah to be all "oh I gave my word to Kass why wouldn't she trust me" when in all the talks with Tony and everyone it seemed like at some point she might be willing to flip.  Again was it the edit?  Sure sure I know she was supposed to be just stringing Tony along blah blah but I think Sarah was just as likely to flip at some point as anyone. 

Not that I think flipping was smart or right but I don't get all the Kass is such a bitch.  Sarah seemed both a little  untrustworthy to me and she was just as hard headed and my way or the highway as Kass. 

I think Tony has played a pretty smart game but.....its all coming from kind of  a creepy place.   Trish's edit was less annoying, no more laughing and shimmying up to the guys.  Uh....did anyone notice the front of her bikini bottoms when she was talking strategy?  It sort of uncomfortably made me think of her "I'm a man" comment. 

I don't feel like we've gotten to see some of the players much.  Kass is getting a ton of screen time but so was Sarah.  To the point where I was really surprised to see her go.
