The Crown: Season 2

Building on Season 1, this was a totally enjoyable and enthrawling season; I'm so excited to see season 3

This show really is a must for everyone IMHO

Colourful. Dramatic. Fantastic landscapes. Great characters. Loved the show, initially a little slow to start and then an ending which clearly left things open for more; it seems that isn't going to happen.

Broadchurch: Season 1

Late to watch this show, totally hooked as soon as I started, watched all the episodes as quickly as I could - I just had to know who the killer was!!

Gripping stuff. Instant classic as far as I'm concerned.

Broadchurch: Season 2

Season 2; I was thinking, can this be 'as good' as season 1. Hell yes!

Season 2 deals with the aftermath of the events of season 1 and it does so really well, but, we have other material to be concerned with, that being will Hardy and Latimer solve another old case.

Series 3, please!!

Marvel's Agent Carter: Season 1

I kept this show to one side to watch when I had a moment; I'm kinda sorry I waited so long. I love the date setting and attention to detail given to costume, location and wordplay.

Looking forward to season 2!

I felt compelled to watch each episode as it aired. Great story. Great production. Great acting.

I do really love how the children are the only ones able to see people for who and what they are; the characters are brilliant.

Brilliantly odd show; love how they continually try and tell you to 'not watch' LOL

  1. Cats are wonderful
  2. People are crazy beyond words - thats all of them!
  3. Depressing there are more bug cats in captivity with crazy Americans then those who live in their natural habitat

I can see why it appears to have been dropped; all but one episode is poor really; almost like they weren't really invested in this anymore except the last espisode which maybe was shot in season 3?....

We live in a fragile world; a show like this explains just how fragile and how close we all, perhaps, come to destruction at the hands of idiots every day

Lost: 4x13 There's No Place Like Home (2)

The Island has moved people, the Island has moved - how? well, we don't need to know. Some kind of wheel thing.. a bright light.. then boom, with barely a ripple, it's gone!

The mysterious Mr Bentham turns out to be John, who seems to have found his way off island and into a coffin. Now, over 3 years since leaing, they are to return - but how?...

Oh season 4, you have answered no questions and given me dozens more

Lost: 6x17 The End

OK; so, Jack was dead/dying right from the first scene and all that happened beyond that, in probably a very short time, is his conciousness searching for validation, acceptance and an understanding to move on.

If this is the kind of thing you go through when life ends for you, it's not appealing!

Great end to the show, I don't think it could have been any better, and, it still makes little sense in some areas; thats artistic licence I guess

Lost: 6x17 The End

It's bittersweet to get to this point; so much has been unexplained, so much is becoming clear.. so much still makes no sense

Lost: 4x13 There's No Place Like Home (2)

The hidden Orchid is interesting... whats that all about... I am sure it will be revealed in the next 60 mins :)

So; flipping back to the previous flashback, Jack was wanting Kate to go back and she now mentions they have been 'home' for 3 yrs! That explains why Walt looks quite a bit older....

Lost: 3x14 Exposé

There was a dark humour running through this episode.

You can’t feel sorry for either of our two criminals

What’s interesting was they found the plane and the Pearl before anyone else and yet said nothing.

What else has been found by people and not yet ‘told’

Lost: 3x23 Through the Looking Glass (2)

What is happening? It seems they have got off the island or will get off the island - and - now Jack is doing everything he can to get back! Who is in the casket?? it has to be someone who got off the island, but who!

How the hell did John get there; he was shot days back and was in a pit last we saw him? Ben needs to watch out, John seems to have a greater affinity with the island than he does.

Lost: 3x20 The Man Behind the Curtain

This was a lesson how parental brutality creates a monster

Terrific episode, with great backstory.. Who is Jacob, it looked like Ben could see someone, John couldn't. Richard certainly ages well, doesn't he - how old is that guy?

John is seemingly dead, an attack is approaching on the beach, what does Jack have in minds to save everyone this time

Lost: 3x13 The Man from Tallahassee

Wow. Father of the year he is not!

8 stories down, flat in his back impact. How in the world did John survive that?

And now, years later on a Island goodness knows where, his dad reappears again.

It’s not going to end well.

Charlie... and yet again he rushes towards certain death; Claire hasn't even seen the ring he left behind and they've left for the tower now

Lost: 3x18 D.O.C.

What a cracking episode!

Sun's backstory fills in a little more. We already know she had a relationship with the guy who comitted suicide/was killed in the hotel plunge, but, this was the first suggestion she might have been pregnant by him. It really does seem like her family, particularly and specifically her father, are to blame for most of what went wrong in their lives. I hope Sun and baby survive.

Parachute lady; how many languages did they think she was speaking? I don't know them to confirm but we had English, Spanish, Italian... A day to recover from a punctured lung, wow! I did comment a while back that I'd bet the Russian wasn't dead; that fence is either a dramatic stunning force or you really can come back to life on the island!

The closing scene - off the chain!!! They've found a crashed plane, no survivors - eh???

Lost: 3x12 Par Avion

So. To be clear, Jack and Claire are half brother/sister. Now that’s a turn up of events. Jack’s dad really did travel.

Loved the jeopardy of the electro-fence. You can always trust John to find a solution to a problem. How does one test if a fence is live. Throw a captive through it. Simple.

Did you notice though that the electrocuted guy was still breathing as Kate looked down at him; perhaps he’s stunned and not dead...

Lost: 3x15 Left Behind

So; I can see both sides here in terms of Kate's Mum's reaction. Kate thought she was saving her, bit of an extreme action to take but I guess it certainly stopped the abuse. Kate's Mum, besotted with the guy, now feels she should pay for that action.

Juliette; I don't believe she's been left behind. You have to proceed on the basis, at least for now, that she's lying and it's all part of some elaborate deception - but - where have they all gone, to the summer camp or something?

Lost: 3x16 One of Us

So. Do we have a case here of a triple do over?

Juliet has tried to engender herself to the group and to Jack. Ben believes she is doing as he asked; so far it seems to the exact design. BUT. Maybe Juliet, as Jack believes, is now playing for herself and really is looking to get off the island or split from Ben’s group.

It’s a terrible pickle. It’s nice when life is easy. But maybe everyone we speak to day to day is scheming and playing an angle just like these guys.

I just know I’m not. LOL

Any real resemblance to Agatha's novel is almost merely coincidental; so much is altered and inserted that it's almost a completely different animal.

That said, it does all mostly make sense, perhaps in truth in some ways the original novel doesn't; it's certainly updated for modern times.

After all is said an ddone; be careful who you drink with :)

Charlie does seem to have a death wish now and isn't taking care of himself. If that station was flooded and couldn't be accessed then who are the two gun holding women? Another of Ben's mysterious truths.

I have a terrible feeling that there is going to be a character bloodbath with all this dynamite about

Oh thank goodness! That aweful man is dead or dead for the moment; knowing this island he will come back again!

You have to be careful not to agree with the murder of people becuase thats clearly wrong; but in the auspices of entertainment and TV make believe, that guy got what was coming to him in spades! Something about that character just winds you up every time he opens his mouth to speak

Juliet's in trouble now....

The opening scene was dramatic and disturbing. I'm glad it was a vision and that Charlie was saved, he would be a huge loss for the show.

Desmond, not so much. I can't warm to him as a character or an actor. Perhaps that will change; I'm sure the lady with the parachute said his name, how does she know him!

The 1960's, a time when east and west didn't get on; not much different to now really! Loved the comedy in this, it makes the movie. When it ended, I was honestly surprised, I was waiting for the next scene... sequel please!
