Saw my first episode of 'non-comedy' television serial: an episode of Sherlock. Not bad I say!
It was like a telefilm not like a serial. And I expected a 'story retold in modern times'. It was not. It was kind of its own tale and well told.
TV-la ivvaLO koalty irukkA. pArAttugaL!
Britis sense of humour has little eedu iNai
Sherlock: You can't smoke here
Mycroft: This is a morgue..there's only so much damage you can do
:lol:
Moffat-Cumberbatch one?

He'll plant surveillance without WW's knowing
It could crop up in the passing, out of nowhere. But it does feel like WW's cancer might have kicked out of remission and he's out for good.
Finally, what we have been screaming for a year now.

Phoenix gang/Lydia.
Mycroft-Sherlock relationship could be decoded from the smoking sequences alone.Quote:

Speaking of Brit humor, saw the promo for downton abbey s3 couple of weeks ago:
Lady Grantham (Brit) about the mother of her D-I-L: I am so looking forward to meeting your mother again. When I am with her I am reminded of the virtues of the English
Mathew: But, isn't she American?
Lady Grantham: Exactly :lol: :lol:
Looking forward.. so much.
Staying with British, Parade's End starring Cumberbatch (Sherlock) has kicked off already..

Dexter : Behind the Scenes: Dexter Season 7
The Street Season 3.
They ended season 2 with atmospheric one-room one to one (through chained doors, windows and confined spaces).
They began this season with 'High Noon' in Salford with the great Bob Hoskins (:bow: hopefully recovers from dreadful Parkinson's)
Half-way through, you begin to see the highly dramatic sermonization and problematic morality lessons, an equilibria seems to pervade this universe. Usually, this turns me off, but to its credit, The Street, offers just the breathing space with mood, tonal changes, visual flux, with richly localzied characters, with behaviors, and quirks I'd wanted. This is Manc in every turn and corner. Have to say well done all round.

Was watching some episodes of Dexter - Season 6 on Star world. Not bad at all. Mike'y still holds the show on his shoulders. Always liked the conversations between him and Bynie.

Hope season 7 has more confrontations and they do a killer trailer like they did for S6 last year.

From kg's linkQuote:
The next day, the first season arrived, and I sat down to watch it, and watched all seven episodes in a row. Literally, before the teaser of the first episode was over, I turned to [my wife] and go, "Oh my God. I want to do this show!" I was recommend by my friend Adam Bernstein, who directed episodes two and three of the first season, and even since then, I’ve been integrated -- sucked in, if you will -- by Vince Gilligan.

"The silhouette of the fly on the hellish red-orange light of the smoke alarm. It's the very last shot of "Fly." So haunting. It echoes perfectly Walter's admission that "everything's contaminated." I think if I forgot the whole rest of the show I would remember that shot." —dfault, commenter

VG interview from Rolling Stone..connect the dots :)

You've said that Walt really got out of his meth operation at the end of the episode – but do you know how he did it?
We are oddly still working that out. In my mind, Walt is out, but the exact specifics of how he extricated himself – basically, the boss coming in one day in to the boardroom, so to speak, and saying to his inner circle, "Well, this is it for me. I'm retiring." The specifics of that, so to speak, are something that's still a bit of a work in progress, and six writers and myself are back now in the room working out the final eight episodes. That is one of the things that I hate to even admit how many hours we spent talking about, just dozens of hours already talking about how Walt extricates himself. At the point of the end of that last episode, it's already happened, but we're talking about, "In the final eight – do we need to show that moment of him quitting? Do we not?" I don't feel like I'm giving anything away to say that we still don't know ourselves. We're still talking all that through.
In my cover story, Bryan Cranston mentioned that he asked you a bunch of questions about the flash-forward. When he asked, "Why am I back?" you told him, "To protect someone." Is that an answer that you're gonna stick with?
I wouldn't shy away from sticking with that, just because it's been in print, but we really are – we're questioning everything at this point. It doesn't give me great pause to have that out there. But having said that, we're not, at this point, afraid to change it, either. Our prime directive here – our mandate – is to make the ending as satisfying and as dramatic as possible. To that end, we've got a lot of good ideas, I feel, but any minute that a better idea comes along, we'll jettison the good idea for the better idea, no matter where it may take us. So could go either way. Could wind up being exactly that, or could be something different.
There's a scene in the finale of Walt being scanned for cancer. Have you decided whether it's back?
The best way I can put it, not to be overly coy, but we're gonna do our best to address everything there is left to address in the final eight episodes, and the cancer is probably chief amongst those items on the list, because it is the plot device that got the show going in the first place. So we definitely have not forgotten about it and, yeah, there's a scene at the end of – in act four of that last episode that speaks to something. Definitely left for the audience to interpret.
Isn't it back again? He also gazes over the punched steel box in the loo.

Thick of it Season 4. Kicked off today.
Tucker-less episode not quite there without him. Good enough for the epic references (as usual)
He does return next week with great prejudice and wicked sense of humor "Like a family in cuban slum".. :rotfl:
Some samples tonight:
"He took the morning off when Steve Jobs died" :lol:
'Good to see you Peter Pete' payback from Rajesh Raj! :lol2:
"You can't even keep the cast of Glee out!"
"You can't apologize for the fart you did a day before. "
"Doing us up the Euro tunnel" ... "Am I in some ghost story.. I got hit by a bus and no one notices me.. "
"Terrific.. what should we do..Mexican wave around the table?"
"What did you ask for...er..er....eh wanker.."
give VEEP a shot..just got renewed for second season..JLD's mock up of Sarah Palin :2thumbsup:Quote:

Final 3 episodes concludes what is an unrelenting pathos study, so intimately tied to the place (Salford) and time (of recession)Quote:

To conclude the entire series, they do not even spare Timothy Spall's segment (other than maybe Broadbent in 1st season) that provided light-heartedness and harmony..
Parade's End - 3rd episode
A socialite adulteress wants to be chaste and truthful to the Cuckold, who accepts her back without being taken into manly feelings she tries to ellicit (through this adultery, as she says, she'd only do it when he's looking!), whose ideals makes him stop short of consummating the relationship with a young suffragette, a fatherless free-spirited woman(intellectually, unlike the wife, who might be called a 'loose', considering she has sex with another man on day of the marriage) who is happy to be his spiritual companion. The man is awkward looking and perhaps even sexually inert after a point. He choose to serve in World War I. There's also a child who may or may not be his.
This is positively anti-Downton Abbey, what an expertly sensitive filmmaker is Sussanna White.
With all the social, familial, religious, ideological underpinnings & sex politics you'd expect. The Elegiac tone of the ruling class, without being inconsiderate of the lesser ones, whose need for change is parallely underlined. People of their time and place, without being any less relevant.
it is except may be for Mortimer whose role seems to be written in a haste..her theatrical acting really does get to you..with the elections next year expect Sorkin to dig deep.Quote:

Yeah, Sorkin's known to be a reliable sexist..
Re.sexism,
In lesser hands, Parade's End might be the most sexist show on TV if not for sensitivity & layered approach (against 'hasty judgement') by Sussanna White. Again shows that TV could be a director's medium too.
