Thanks so much Kate

Thanks for the new thread, Kate!

I know, right? It was so boring! The only two things I liked were the end of the beach scene and Violet calling Mary's many suitors "Mary's Men"
The whole "let's save monarchy from a scandal" storyline was ridiculous. And of course, due to Edith's circumstances, they again skipped through most of a year without any relationship or dynamic changing a bit (Isobel and her "suitor", Mary and all her suitors, Branson and the teacher, Thomas and Baxter, Moseley and Baxter etc) and they kinda swept Michael's demise under the rug. Oh well.

awww yeah I tried but I have such a hard time watching French tv or movies. Dialogs are so fake! At times they talk like books, and the next second, they use so much slang, it's completely schizophrenic! I guess that comes from the growing divide between actual proper French and the oral form of the language and script writers being unable to pick a side but damn!
I did hear a lot of good things about it though so I suppose I'll have to give it a try (maybe if I mute the sound and use the subtitles? I'm such a loon! )

yeah I've never been too fond of the Disney male model (or female really, with a few exceptions).

Ah! I still need to give this one a try! I was hoping for more mid-season shows but I've already been disappointed by everything I tried so time for a change.

Hey! Lots of naked people in that show! did you think it was going anywhere?

Oh, really? That's interesting. I thought seeing as it was a French show, that they were just speaking in regular, natural French.

AHHHHHHH EXCITING!!!! Wohooo!

I just watched HBO True Detective first episode and man,it's brilliant.Like wow.I never liked Matthew McConaughey very much, but he's amazing in it.Everything else it too for that matter.

Gelfling

damn! Between this and the Orphan Black spoilers, I need April like NOW!

I wish every tv producer was that honest with themselves.

Speaking of shows ending... Newsroom's 3rd season will be its last but hey, same thing, I'd rather they give it a good finish than drag it to hell without Sorkin (yes I'm looking at you TWW!)

They never do. I have never heard anyone talk the way characters talk in most French movies/tv shows. It's frankly unsettling. It always feel like they are trying hard to sound "real" but are failing because they are using "proper" grammar that mostly belongs in books at this point.
I'm not saying they should text-speak or anything but they should pick a side and stick with it.

I skipped it because I thought it was reality tv or one of those "documentary" about "real crimes"
Guess I'll have to check it out now because every other mid-season show I've tried has been terrible.

Oh I forgot to post this last time. New show with Michelle Dockery! not!)

Anyone watching the third season of Sherlock?

The show doesn't make any sense anymore and Moffat doesn't know if he is writing for Sherlock or Dr Who

But besides the total lack of logic, I loved the S3 finale, it was excting and fun and Martin Freeman's wife is a great add to the cast, I love her!

Oh and btw, I want Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to come back from his grave and see this :

wardengrill

LORD NO But now when I think about it the title might be misleading indeed

StarryFlower

Same! I'm kind of nervous about Orphan Black. In the first season there were no expectations, but now they've got all these fans and hype and I'm scared they might buckle under the pressure.


YES YES YES!
Loved the first episode, Second was OK, liked this third one but I need to watch it again I think!
Love that gif!

She's been getting death threats! There are some disturbed people out there! And yeah she's great!

Gelfling

I have never watched it but that's what I heard (also: coming up on Sherlock: another hiatus )

well, his Holmes was always a tad less "clean" and proper than presented in oh 90% of the on-screen portrayals so I wonder if he'd be shocked or vindicated.

Thanks for clearing it up

There's always the possibility, sure, but they are keeping everything pretty much under wraps and Michelle Forbes is in season 2 so... so far so good!
I'm only worried about Cosima because every time I read about her, it seems they are preparing us for the worst

well it's a fine line, but she didn't teach them acting so you're fine

Amen!

EndlessღLove

Oh God, I am so sorry for her!


But the worst thing is, who is the smartest one? It's just people outsmarting more people. Mycroft, Sherlock, Mary, Moriarty, Magnussen etc. All geniuses and all gathered in London, yeah right...


I didn't like the first one that much. My favorites were the other two. But of course NOTHING can beat A Scandal in Belgravia, with the force of nature that is Lara Pulver



Right? The waiting is not worthy. The show is not that good.

StarryFlower

I know, and it must be quite scary for her, as she has two young kids. Why are there such crazy people in the world?

Love that one! I loved that she did a tiny little guest appearance in I think it was the second episode, where Sherlock was like "get out of my head" or something

Don't say that! I love her! I would love to be confident that they wouldn't kill her off, but they killed off Helena, and she was awesome too

EndlessღLove

Yes and I have heard Martin and Amanda brought their kids to the set and some stalkers got pictures and they have been asking everyone on Twitter to take them down.

I KNOW! I was dead for a minute


No, I have only seen her in Sherlock But Richard Armitage you say? I may consider watching it. Talking about him, did you see North and South?

StarryFlower

No, but I want to.
