The Fall - Season 2: Thursday BBC2 @ 9pm

[tinycowboy]

And there's me thinking it was a new series with live footage of Mark E Smith and his lurching rockabilly compadres in concert ...

Me too! Was looking forward to yelling "Riddler!" at the TV. And the thing was in the impression of....j temperance.

Case Histories, Arne Dahl and the Fall are just brilliant.

The character development in Arne Dahl is wonderful and am really buying into them (watching 4th episode on iPlayer so no spoilers please). The Fall is good old BBC drama and Case Histories is a relief from the normal sunday night rubbish.

All the pieces coming together tonight, great TV.

Starting to think the GA's character is a bit rubbish. She has done rock all police work to actually find the killer. She will get lucky because he got rumbled tonight killing that bloke and had to do a runner while the old story from the pathologist's friend is just luck as well. The copper who rumbled the drug/hooker/copper ring is better than GA.

Ah but that copper isn't a powerful professional female.

I liked the way bloke copper in 30 seconds said 'I've done this ... this ... this ... and this ...', case closing, once I go to the top of the chain, simples.

Whereas poor Ms Anderson is going to be dragged to the abandoned house (which didn't come up last night), before she can close her case.
In fairness to her character it's not like she has a lot to work with, until now.

True, the other female copper revealing herself to be a lesbian does open up another avenue though.

Calm down El Pres.
It's not like GA's character is a portrait of a strong predatory sexual woman, who takes who she wants when she wants, not so far removed from the man she's chasing, is it?

Pity its the last 2 parter of Arne ..i've warmed to it

I noticed that too, and this could be a MASSIVE clue, the first time she did not use bogroll, but the second time she did.

The only massive clue it can be, relates to later on when GA and camera bird were running through the process.
The scene that ended with GA lying on the bed looking alluring and mimicking a bound, raped and murdered woman (pick the bones out of that Freud).
Anyhoo that scene began with them in the bathroom stating that was the killers MO start off point.

And she did wipe her mooie first time, too, not that it helped her.

I reckopn it's all going to come down to the drawing mentals daughter did. *taps nose knowingly* and a

That was my first thought. But they probably wanted me to think that.

Its all about the paper Stat, all about the paper..

That moment was rather crowbarred in, along with something said by GA, and the fact we never got proper look at the drawing.

[Sergei's Celebration]

Why walk into the police station? Why not just drive around for a bit and say you went? It is for this reason, and only this reason i suggest this man is bat shit crazy.

 

[Stat Brother]

I'm at a bit of a loss what to say.

I really 'enjoyed' the series, I thought the tension was superb, and then it ended


I have my doubts the exact same scenario will be able to just pick it up again.
