ah yes, where i said Thomas I meant Simon. It was too hot to sleep last night, no thinking power left.
Maybe i haven't been paying attention on the power station thing. Obviously they have been investigating the lowering water levels of the Dam, and failing to find the leak, but last night I think they said the power generator was flooded, which I didn't see coming...Anyway er, it's the human stories that are the interesting bit (uh oh I'll be watching Eastenders next).

i know, what IS that? poor, creepy victor.

is it the same sort of thing that was happening to lena's back? has she healed now because of serge's poultice, or because she's been away from camille?

incidentally, i thought this was stunningly done. the splicing of the scene, and the reveal. merveilleux.

Is it just me or does one of the often recurring music pieces by Mogwai sound like a straight rip off of the intro to Over by Portishead ? Still, they've done a great job with the music for the Returned. Really really good.

That bonfire gathering that Lena came upon at the end, was it from them that the animals who drowned in the lake were fleeing from in a previous episode?
The guy at the Helping Hand (Pierre?) is responsible indirectly for Esteben's parents killing themselves by encouraging Camille to reach out to the parents of the other victims looking for messages from their lost children..

haven't they just? the whole thing is so atmospheric and i think the music is a huge part of that. it also stands up by itself - i bought the album and it's incredible. another reason for a twin peaks comparison, there.

yeah, maybe! what a fantastic closing shot that was. i'm assuming they're more 'returned' we haven't seen yet? the shots of the dead animals were wonderful too.

it's so fucking stylish.

Run, starting at 10pm on channel 4 tonight looks interesting...



Have kept up with this , this week. Pretty bloody good. Olivia Colman brilliant as ever in the first episode. The scene where she turned her boys over to the coppers- when they came to arrest them she was beyond outstanding. Don't think anyone would get away so easily with nicking iPhones from their place of work though. Second episode about the Chinese girl's troubles and third episode with the Richard character v compelling. Final part tonight. A grim and gritty view of Brixton.

Yes, not easy viewing. And a lot of the characters are less than easy to like.
The reviewer in the Metro newspaper suggested that the lack of humour in the first episode meant it wasn't realistic. I guess that's a point you could have a good argument about.

I found the Polish girl in the final episode last night likeable. Prob the most likeable character of the lot.

She might regret that yet. I was thinking when they first lost the power that people should try to hot foot it to that fancy Paris or somewhere for a bit of civilisation, but that ain't gonna work.
I think this is getting a bit Sartrian now: the whole idea that "Hell is other people", as raised in Sartre's Huis Clos (No Exit), where people are locked in a room together for eternity, with no respite from one another. I guess one shouldn't be surprised at the French re-working one of their most controversial philosophers in an eight part spooky drama.

New series of Phoneshop.

Bit self-indulgent I thought, and none of the characters played to their strengths.

Can only get better.

saw the latest wright/pegg/frost outing last weekend – the world’s end. very poor, i thought. a few belly laughs (and a nice running gag about band names) but mostly stale, lazy and wildly self-indulgent. wright's visual schtick is starting to feel somewhat dated to me. DIRE plot. and it’s the first time ever i’ve actively noticed feeling shut out as a female audience member.

great soundtrack though – takes me back to the sun-and-cider-soaked summer i left school myself. you can't really go wrong kicking something off to the strains of 'loaded'. and they play the sundays. THE SUNDAYS! my heart leapt at the opening chords. best moment in the whole thing for me.

all that said, with its themes of man-children, alcohol and nostalgia, i’m sure it will appeal to more than one nooler. Wink

by contrast, i’ve also been watching ‘orange is the new black' on netflix. bloody brilliant.

When i first saw a trailer for that i thought it was going to be set in the World's End pub in Camden. Is that pub still there? Not been in or near it for years. The film doesn't appeal to me that much.Seems like a stale idea for a film.

Bit confused watching The Returned ad break. Is it English adverts with French subtitles? Or French adverts with English subtitles? Or French adverts with French subtitles? Or English adverts with English subtitles? Still, Victor is still an annoying little twat either way.


My money is on a second series.With ad breaks with English/French subtitled ads or French/English subtitled ads.Either way, Victor will still be an annoying little twat

ha!

have just got in so am having to wait for catch up. it's usually english ads/french subtitles though, non?

i just feel deeply sorry for victor now. despite him being incredibly troubled and possibly murderous. poor little speck. have you no HEART, monsieur groucotte?!

i don't know about a second series. i know how this ends, and it sounds like it's somewhat unresolved, but nowhere really to go either. if there is a second series, let's pester the powers-that-be for a smiley with a beret.

Funnily enough there is a story in my family that our surname possibly comes from France.


Was going to add my comment on the ending but that would be a spoiler if you ain't seen it yet. All i will say is that Mogwai track , as i've said before, is totally darling ripped off from the intro to Over by Portishead
