So Dean will probably now tell Nidge about the bone Fran has to pick.

Nidge can easily then frame Fran for the Git murder what with the body buried on his land, Fran goes down for a life stretch. One problem solved.

Makes sense now about the constant references to the finger in episode one.

Besides him not having any (many at a stretch I guess?) of them, the IRA would take him out if he gets done for Gits murder. They would have to.

ROCKMAN · 22-10-2014 9:54am

Fran is going to be doubled crossed again by his henchman (guy in boot ) just my opinion but he is going to leg it with Fran Hidden money ,Remember Fran let slip it was buried ,On this land imo ,
This will leave Fran with his back to the wall and no cash to buy his way out of trouble , Which will make him like a wounded animal ...Very dangerous ,Which will make great viewing....

Well he was still able to have a hitman contacted on the outside while he was banged up. All it would take is to get lucky once.

Sorry for the dumb post!

I haven't watched any of this season yet. What's the general consensus so far? Improvement on last year?

Do women find Paulie attractive at all? I find him utterly revolting

bazermc · 22-10-2014 2:22pm

The guy who played the part of the hitman (Cliggy Walsh), in real life is a window cleaner around Dublin City Centre

I am nearly sure of it, anybody else recognise him?

Lucy and Harry · 22-10-2014 2:43pm

Be careful he may be a real hit man playing a hit man.

He's about five foot six, he wears big moon boots to make him taller.

Sorry to once again drag the thread back a couple of seasons (admins, cop on and give us a sub-forum, it's a complete joke at this stage!) but I'm currently rewatching season 2, who is it that Fran shoots very randomly and then dumps in a landfill, where a bunch of kids playing football subsequently discover the body? Don't think the shooting was significant other than Fran blowing off steam after Linda topped herself, and I know I'll kick myself once someone reminds me whose body it is?

The young joyrider. Can't remember his name. Was told to burn out the car immediately after Tommy's attempted hit on Fran. Went messing around with doughnuts in the car and got caught by the guards.

Brutal article, particulary the lazy accusation of the show becoming a simplistic game of "who'll whack who".

hatrickpatrick · 24-10-2014 2:11pm

Is it just me or does the Indo have a bit of a vendetta against Love/Hate? They seem to spin ratings as well, for instance massively hyping up the decline in ratings between episodes 1 and 2 without mentioning that this happens every year due to initial bandwagon hopping, and adding fuel to the ridiculous cat controversy last year, etc?

Lucy and Harry · 24-10-2014 4:44pm

Next episode spoiler:

Rat Siobhan is seen winding Frans mate up again in the new clip over I have a bone to pick with you Nidgie.I bet she finds out and they get banged up over it.IRA will be angry that the body was there all along too I bet.She keeps making rat faces too.Starting to get creeped out about her.

laurenhiggins · 24-10-2014 4:54pm

I'm on edge this season curious how it's going to end.

Yes they do. Tonights herold is the same ....a young idiot who actually wrote "yada yada yada" Is claiming there's nothing happening....He's also claiming the writers need to get a move on....ffs 6 episodes isn't a lot.....I guess his problem is he can't download and watch them all in one go.....twat

riffmongous · 24-10-2014 6:43pm

I'm not sure if it was mentioned before and due to the ridiculous nature of this megathread no one probably remembers it anymore but regarding the copper shooting at Fran in episode 2 and how unrealistic it was, I just saw an old programme on youtube about a RIRA raid where a man was shot by gardai while try to drive away from a crime scene

Pretzill · 24-10-2014 7:43pm

Just chiming in now with my two cents on episode three. I'm not overly impressed by short, no dialogue scene shooting. It's actually getting a little boring now - a bit like stretching the middle of this series with filler - I think most of us guessed how Nidge will get to Fran in prison I just didn't expect an entire episode to reveal that!

By the way I am a fan of the series but this weeks episode was well below par - I really think the last three episodes could have been condensed into two - hope it improves

deise08 · 24-10-2014 7:47pm

Well I for one am enjoying every second of it! :-)
Can't please everyone.
It's too fast for some. .( haven't a clue what's happening.)
It's too slow for others. (Full of fillers.)

I'm just taking it as it comes.

Well done Stuart and all involved.

GreenwayM · 24-10-2014 7:48pm

Last Sunday's episode was really slow . . .

You know I might be crazy but I reckon with Nidge / Fran gone that Paulie could be the next Nidge / Johnboy

I reckon that Carolan has put Paulie in there for a reason . . .

I also reckon that Fran will get Trish knocked off before going for Nidge . . .

Mr Carolan, if you are reading this, I might be available as co-writer :-)

If Nidge and Fran leave and Paulie is the main character that's when I'll stop watching.

RTE bosses have hinted Nidge will be sensationally killed in the upcoming season of Love/Hate.

The TV gang boss – played by Tom Vaughan Lawlor – is the last major character remaining from the very start of the series.

Now Love/Hate executive producer Suzanne McAuley has revealed we could expect to see a big name taking a bullet during season four.

Keeps people watching ....

Edit - I googled for the spoiler :P. It's the same article they ran from May this year.

Ha ha ha ha sorry. I just read the first sentence and thought crap!
Ha ha
my day is ok again now

thanks peppa.

on another note, there's a new Citroen ad using music 'white rabbit' that was used recently in love/hate. Had never heard it before but now every time I hear it I think of nidge.

DynamiteC101 · 25-10-2014 1:17pm

I have a feeling that Carolan's plan for this season is to have 3 slow moving episodes, and 3 explosive episodes. The first episode was a bit scattered; the second one was cutting edge drama at its finest. The third episode was a bit slow moving, so I expect Sunday night to be pretty big. Again, the 5th episode might be a bit of a comedown, before a big dramatic final episode. Just my guess.

Also, just remembered something there. Does anyone remember Nidge getting arrested in the warehouse at the end of season 4, when Moynihan and the gang cancelled the sting operation to save Tommy? It's been mentioned here before, but Detective Moynihan and Nidge engaged in a very suspicious staring game. It wasn't just a typical spiteful stare between a criminal and a garda, there seemed to be something personal going on.

Could they have been acquainted in the past somehow, or else a distant family relation sort of thing? My friend pointed this out to me so I'm just interested to see if anyone else noticed.

Moynihan is actually Nidge's biological father, sure you need only look at them

I think your probably reading too much into it with regard to nidge and moynihan. I hope the series picks up the pace tomorrow night. Last week's was just a filler. I really wish they'd lewve out the siobhan stuff, it's getting very boring and is lazy writing. Haven't seen an episode come close to season 3 yet.

Episode 2 of this season was as good as any season 3 episode, in my opinion.

Thats what we said last week, episode 2 was tense and gritty, but I think the story is lacking a lot. Lets be honest, it's been a bit meh so far.

I have to disagree, I would say it has been decent so far overall. Not great, but definitely decent.

Episode 1: Introduced a lot of story line and was very scattered. The production was pretty bad at times - the back and forth from Spain scenes were a fail. Nevertheless, the episode had a strong ending.

Episode 2: Top class drama from start to finish - some terrific acting and a conclusion to a story line that was brewing in season 4. Episode 2 of this season would not have looked out of place in any American production.

Episode 3: A slow moving episode which left the viewer wondering if he/she was watching a motor-sport film due to all the driving around. There were a few exciting moments though and some very good production.

I'm not saying my review is the divine verdict, but I think it's a pretty fair analysis of the season so far. I just think that a fairer adjective for this season is 'decent' rather than 'meh'. I expect a big episode tomorrow though, or else it could start to look a bit meh.
