I hadn't noticed the steering wheel thing, but I was pleased to see Wilson admit his source for the mythical time it takes to trace a phone call.

Anyway, I loved the opening of last night's programme. The whole scene in the school was just a masterpiece of horror and pathos.

I noticed the steering wheel too. Thought Wilson would surely be covered in blood if he shot him from that close.

Was Jessica deliberately getting grant drunk to force him to say where the comic was?

I really like the odd looking hitman. He actually reminds me of a few friends (although I won't tell them that)

I didn't think that Wilson shot the thug in the church (well, not 'till later when he was on the ground) wasn't it the MI5 woman? Need to watch again to see which side the blood spatters out from I guess...

In the interests of those who haven't yet watched...

It's hardly plot critical, and she could easily claim to have been to a range, or just taking pot-shots at squirrels.

You're right about it not being essential to the plot (although these days I'm led to believe that any time a gun is fired, it's pretty closely scrutinised), but I still find it irritating when holes like this are left, because it makes it harder to buy the big made-up bits that are. Can you tell I like police procedurals...?

Well, she could simply clean it, replace the 9mm bullet and no one would know it had been fired Jim.

Hmmmph. Yes, yes, ok. So I'm too obsessive...!

Just let it go....put the tv remote down and back away...

Mumble...froth...

OK, but I'll be back, criticising The Killing for not turning the bloody lights on...

I was planning on watching it when it first started, but to be honest, starting at 10pm on a schoolnight is a bit beyond me now!!

The trailers looked a bit crap after the first one, so I never bothered with it....BUT while tucked up in bed today whilst feeling crap and off work, I watched them all...and what a cracking series it is too! Next ones will definitely be on 4OD though.....

Good man, Steve. Stick with it!

Also, don't forget the new series of Being Human starts this Sunday night, and Black Mirror returns on 11th February.

A veritable Smörgåsbord of alt.TV delight.

More importantly, it's clearly very easy with no medical implements at all to shove your fingers into a bullet entry hole (usually quite small if its a standard round), dig around a bit and fish out the lead!!

It's only TV, I'm probably analysing too much.

You go right ahead and analyse, MrB. Hadn't thought about that point!

Was it not Chekov who said 'if you have a gun on the mantelpiece in the first act, it had better be used by the third'?

My favourite TV howler is the number of times people are stabbed through the ribs with a blade held vertically... having seen how difficult it is to get a *scalpel* between someone's ribs (and then been told 'stick your finger down that hole') I can confirm there's not a lot of space there.

Oh come on Neil. Surely the all time TV howler is someone doing CPR and people miraculously wake up! Ta-dah!

Why don't the people of Albert Square ever just stay in and watch Coronation Street?

Ah yes. CPR - 'we teach you this not because it works better than 2% of the time, but so you won't feel guilty for not having done anything...'

So, any nit-picking of this week's episode?

My thoughts (with spoilers)



Best bit; the scene with Donaldson describing what happened to him after he found out that Sars was faked (quoted from memory, so almost certainly not spot on):

Donaldson: I was discredited. Professor pervert they called me, said I was addicted to cocaine and prostitutes.

Dugdale: They set you up?

Donaldson: Well, no, I do like cocaine and prostitutes ... but they didn't have to tell everyone.

Once again didn't watch live - man-flu meant 9pm crash. Hopefully tonight...

I missed last nights one, but hopefully watch it tonight.

I was in a big brief yesterday and the chap giving a presentation suggested there was an emerging requirment to set up a new team called 'The Network'

Some nice plot additions and developments. Too early to calll anything a twist yet, though.

I liked it better this week, but there are still things that are annoyingly "they would never have..."
I think I need to realise that this is TV drama on a not-unlimited budget.

Does anyone else really like the music?

I agree with a lot of that...



The music is quite funky in an odd way, now you mention it!

Well...

Or Hyding perhaps?

Idiot, you already said that - read properly man!!

Don't remember any massive howlers from this weeks one. Although I did notice another one in the montage at the beginning from previous weeks but I can't remember what it was now!

... I've remembered now... The boy (Grant?) is supposed to have shot all the people in the School, yet when you watch the shooting RB holds the gun to the teachers forehead and then fires. Any halfway decent forensic analysis would within moments discount the child doing this, unless he stood on a stool of course. But, I suppose 'the network' could fiddle with the evidence, tricky though.

Well, you know, RB was introduced in the police station to the girl and her mother so the police must be under network control, ergo the evidence is what they say it is.

Was thinking about this at the weekend. When Arby went back to see the Corvadt chaps why did he ask where Jessica Hyde was - when he was with her only 10 minutes before?
