JonathanAnon · 06-09-2009 09:53PM

venividivici · 06-09-2009 09:54PM

lol.. four years later and Garrett Lombard is still a terrible dancer.

Dont like the new characters in it, the young lad buying the car (where have I seen him before???) or the English guy.

Haha here we go, Gwan the Scobo

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 06-09-2009 10:33PM

Jaysus but Scobey doesn't half look like Aiden Quinn now.

Very different from the previous series, but I still like it.

It's focusing mainly just on Jennifer and Scoby, but I don't really mind that. Bit confused as to who this woman and kid is that Scoby is with, and also who's Deirdre with. Has she got a new man or have they just changed the actor and we're not supposed to notice?

SprostonGreen · 06-09-2009 10:35PM

It wasnt great, bad script, missing something.

jos28 · 06-09-2009 10:37PM

Have to agree that Tom Jordan is desperately missed, not the same without him. Like Jonathonanon, I think it dragged a bit but I enjoyed it all the same. I hate when actors are replaced just to keep the character(Eamonn) in. I kept wondering if Jen's sister had left Eamonn and shacked up with somebody else. Felt so sorry for the new boyfriend, but it was inevitable that Scobie and Jen were going to get together. Looking forward to tomorrow. Is Scobie the youngfella's Dad ?

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 06-09-2009 10:39PM

The boyfriend seems lovely but I bet tomorrow they'll have him do a 180 and he'll be a complete dick. There by clearing the way for Scoby and Jen to get together without anyone feeling bad for yer man.

ziedth · 06-09-2009 11:13PM

i must say i cheered when he put that blonde one behind the bar in her place. I enjoyed it its not as good as the first season but without tom jordan it would never be as good.

Yeah I was confused too, but it's the same guard Eamonn, but with a different actor. I think.

That's what I was thinking as well. Think that might be where it's headed.

jos28 · 06-09-2009 11:26PM

Could be that Scobie gets the wife and couple of kids, but not the ones he wants ??

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 06-09-2009 11:38PM

Yeah that seems a possibility alright. Him and Jen running off seems the happy ending sort of thing, but what are the chances that it will be a happy ending.

There does seem to be a different feeling about this one, but then I suppose it's reflecting the change in the country that we're all experiencing. The first series was all party and fun and all that, but now it's all a bit more serious. Then there's also the fact that they're that bit older now. That age where you're not the cool young dude you used to be, and are instead getting the funny looks in the club cuz you're just a bit too old to be dancing like that. :rolleyes: Thank God I'm not there yet, but it comes to us all.

The first time I ever watched Pure Mule was last weekend, I think it was a repeat late on the sunday night.
It was great. I cant believe I missed so much. Wouldn't it be great if it was available on dvd.
Watched tonights. It was great. Scobie was very brave to show his arse on telly.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 06-09-2009 11:48PM

Shocking alright, a bare arse on RTE1 not 10 minutes after the news, and on a Sunday evening too:)

They said after tonights episode that it will be on DVD in time for Christmas.

Thats great news! Will have plenty to watch over the Christmas.

Spiritoftheseventies · 07-09-2009 09:23AM

Thought that was bomber in the barber shops for a second. The middle aged guy who sat down beside the two kids. The look on Scobies face was priceless.
Overall though thought show was great. Would have liked to see a few more of the old characters. Wondered what happened to Paula.
Like the new characther though. The guy who took the car off Scobie. Any of those ghost estates in Banagher as a matter of interest?

Hrududu · 07-09-2009 10:43AM

I miss the rest of the characters. It was still very good but it was basically "Philadelphia Here I Come". Hopefully they won't go the obvious route and have Jen run off to Oz with Scobie.

Will that be the first series and this series? I managed to miss the first series and the repeats.

Morgans · 07-09-2009 11:40AM

Was somewhat disappointed with it. Jen and Scobie show. Too many characters missing from the original, sadly of course.

What was great about the original was that it captured the essence of living in a country town about as well as Ive seen on any program.

Last nights, just seemed to be more forced. Shouldnt have come back in my opinion. Jen's back story of how she met the boyfriend a little too ridiculous. Just not the same.

SCOOOOOOOB....

jens a bit of alrite too

PCPhoto · 07-09-2009 10:37PM

pity it was the last episode ...is there a second season planned ?

Eire-Dearg · 07-09-2009 10:37PM

One billionth thread on this.

Kind of let down tbh. It really dragged, it sorely missed the old regulars and Tom Murphy (Seamie).

Can't put a name on the song in the closing credits, any help?

That was the second season, if you will.

First season was back in 04 i think? Was absolutely brilliant, by far the best drama RTE ever had. Then they decided to finish it in this weekend's two part series this year, just to put an end to the tale I suppose.
