Bacchus wrote: » I disagree. The scene itself, in it's entirety, is fine but I think it would have worked far better with just 1 cut instead of about 4. There was too much going forward and back. At first it was a flash forward, then it was a flash back. Yes it was possible to track what was happening but it doesn't mean it was good or the best way to do it.
Bacchus wrote: » Oh also, the GPS tracker plan by the travellers was stupid in the end. It appeared as though it was going to be a long game, find his pattern, find where he's weak and then strike. Instead, they just had some guy follow him in a van who told them where he was and they haphazardly lynched him and his bodyguard.

Agreed though on the silly back and forth to the Spain scene, just bloomin show it chronologically. Also the hit on Nidge was laughably bad. I might be wrong but I think Patrick had decided he wasn't gonna accept Nidge's peace offering, regardless of money or the nits reference.

It seemed like there was a few inconsistencies in a lot of the characters.. But I guess it has been a year, it's gonna take them a while to remember who they were.. :pac: Not a fan of the flashback thing they are trying to do with Nidge and Terence Big Balls. One thing is an absolute certainty... Pavey Point will be on to Joe Duffy tomorrow complaining about Nidge's assertion that the Travelling Community are a "bunch of savages"...

If Dano was alive, Lizzie would be left alive for longer and both would meet up and organise revenge on Nidge. But we already had this story. Season 5 will feature on Nidge's feud with the travellers, Nidge v Fran (I predict they will have a love/hate relationship to forgive the pun but ultimately will recognise both need each other) and ultimately Nidge v Paulie and/or Terence 'Big Balls'. Season 6 may be a different matter and new storylines could develop which may include the IRA. As regards Git, I think the IRA knew exactly what he was. Remember Tony hinting about Git getting up to things in clubs. Tony knew Git's form and knew he was probably killed for raping someone as Nidge said. Nidge more or less told Tony the truth and Tony ultimately decided Nidge was more important to him and a better ally than either Git or Dano. Tony may feature for another deal perhaps to get rid of Paulie or Terence? But this may be what season 6 is about.
BuilderPlumber wrote: » There's going to be some significance attached to the Git Loughman bone that Fran has. What story angle will come out of this I am not sure. But could Fran frame Nidge for the murder or attempt this if he was cornered by the gardai? Could Fran end up doing a deal with them?

Happyman42 wrote: » There is 'depraved' behaviour and stupid behaviour. The series plays fast and loose with the whole guards v crims stuff. One minute they have sophisticated, restricting observation going on, then you have an environment where somebody under scrutiny, is so blasé, he keeps the finger of a victim in his fridge. It is plausibility lapses like that, that continually let it down.
mzungu wrote: » I don't think Fran was being blasé as such. He seemed surprised when he found it in the fridge. Quite possibly he left it in there during one of his poitin binges.
Happyman42 wrote: » That's my point...he seemed suprised because it suited the storyline. But would a character in his position (knowing he was probably going to be pulled in for the dentist - the cops more or less intimated that they knew he had done it in the station) leave hmself open in that way? I don't think so.
Happyman42 wrote: » It's simple really...you have to ask yourself; why was he there at all? Nidge tried to KILL him, but he was alright about that was willing to let it go and then started a **** storm for himself (and as pointed out earlier, his wife family and the campsite) because of 'nits'. It isn't a complaint for the sake of it, just elaborating on a point somebody else made on a television discussion forum.
