    Just watched the first episode of True Detective, very good!

    Took me a while to get round to it, but me too!

    Cheers to the various posters on the thread who gave it the thumbs up.

    Woody Harrelson just excellent.

    It's in my top 3 series, defo. MMcC Is class in it. One of the best tv performances I've ever seen.

    True Detective is absolutely excellent. Production value of a movie, writing of a novel acting of a West End play.

    I hope they don't butcher the second one.

    The RWC thread makes me wonder just how many people do lurk on this forum without ever posting. Barely a regular poster to be found. Lots of handy travel tips though!

    Is there more than one rugby forum on Boards? If you mean this thread, then there's others with more views

    That's the joke.

    At least I think that's the joke.

    Mourad Boudjellal, who knew some of the deceased, called it the 9/11 of the Press. It's horrendous.

    Yeah it's pretty rough.

    They seem to have them holed up at Dammartin-en-Goele now.

    Lot of weird stuff the CT tinfoil hat crowd will go mad for though... like apparently finding their ID at one of the scenes...

    Sky news was reporting they have hostages this time, so it could get worse...

    Yeah apparently one.

    I can very much see a scenario where nobody leaves that building alive, unfortunately.

    I doubt they surrender. They'll either get shot or turn the guns on themselves. Hopefully the hostage survives though. I imagine they put snipers in place in these situations in the case where they are stupid enough to show their heads.

    Yeah. It's mad to think what those guys can do these days. I think of the end scene of Captain Phillips.

    But it's in a warehouse, and there's probably limited access to them, so plenty of scope for things to go wrong. Hopefully not though - as you say, hopefully the hostage survives.

    Apparently they said they "want to die as martyrs" - so they're going down shooting it looks like. Personally I'd love to see them captured and locked up for life in a cell festooned with Charlie Hebdo cartoons.

    In the midst of all the anti-Muslim stuff resulting, I thought this was apt:

    They'd open fire on the hostage the second anything they don't like happens.

    Remember Russia?

    Russians tried that during the Moscow opera theatre siege and ended up killing quite a few of the hostages.

    Knocking people out with gas is actually quite tricky to do right. Hence anesthesiologists getting paid so well!
