    was on at 1.30 last night ffs!

    It's at 12.50 next Sunday and then back to 11.30pm after that.

    Doesn't make much sense to have put it on so late for just 2 Sundays - and for a repeat of 'Don't tell the Bride' too.

    only 5 eps to go

    wish rte would run a couple of double eps to get us to the end quickly,

    but rte seem so half hearted about the series,not holding my breath

    ep8 started well,poor Martha,,but the pace slowed down

    I hate watching it on the RTE player, it keeps freezing for a start and the ads are so annoying.I had to listen to some old man read a letter about four times, what is this Tesco ad about, its certainly not effective.

    How many more episodes are there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 191 ✭✭charkee


    5 to go..

    watch ep 8 last - poor Martha is right ! How she do and then say that to Clarke at the end ... 
    For some reason I thought it was last episode based on ending but to my surprise it not ..hurray !!
     The scene between Elizabeth and Paige was tough to watch !!  Paster Tim needs to go ; >!!

    yes it had a bit of an end of season feel. maybe it was a season break ep in the4 states?

    I am not sure whether they are going to go down the "hank breaking bad ",leave it to last season reveal

    or whether FBI Bob is going to sus them sooner.???

    I think its a six season plan.

    can someone please fill me in -- whats the significance of the black woman ? why was she killed?


  • Registered Users Posts: 191 ✭✭charkee


    in an earlier season elisabeth had a relationship with her partner or sister?? and he was
    an agent for liz and phillip.

    he got caught out by fbi and went down in a blaze of gunfire.

    the centre must have been paying the widow ,maintenance ,but she threatened to go to the police..

    No I don't think that is it at all. If i can recall correctly she is an alcoholic employee of a government agency who Elizabeth got to take pictures of new technology that the U.S army are using or something like that. Her husband was abusive and convinced her to do it for the money Elizabeth was offering. Then he took off and she hit the bottle again and threatened to confess all.

    I think she brought back into this episode to demonstrate that Elizabeth suffers from the ruthless decisions she is forced to make as much as Phillip.

    Northrop Grumman employee, iirc.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 801 ✭✭✭Mary63


    She was brought in out of nowhere and with very little background was murdered
    I have followed this season and couldn't work out who she was either.
    Was she a new character in this season.

    thankslast couple of eps have been slower

    They always take the foot off the accelerator after a bit of momentum in a burst of 2-3 episodes. There's usually a reflection episode, so to speak.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,069 ✭✭✭✭fryup


    ^^^^^^^^^^

    think this season has been the slowest so far (all episodes)

    still haven't got an iota what the korean people are all about..anyone fill me in please?

    The husband works in the medical research centre with their agent and they need him to get your man into higher level security .... I think.


  • Registered Users Posts: 191 ✭✭charkee


    think that's right,though the last time I thought I knew the plot ,got it wrong...

    wonder when FBI Bob will sus them?

    two more series to be made.
