    What's with all the smoking in this series? It's like one long advert for Benson & Hedges.

    You'd have to feel sorry for Vanessa. May deserves a slap

    I'm not even sure what the writers want us to feel for May. I think most of the characters could have done with a bit more developing. The show has been very drawn out and even still I find myself struggling to remember the back story of each character.

    Well, 'the Irish people' is a bit all encompassing. What about those who were perfextly happy being part of the richest and most powerful nation on earth, even if some dreamed of running their own little thing. Poor road chosen I always feel, and even today would feel that rejoining the Union would be a great step. Consign the Republic eperiment as a sort of prodigal son mistake.
    I am sure many felt the same 100 years ago, but got carried away by the secessionist rhetoric. And lived to regret it.



    Yes because the Union worked so well when 2m died in the famine and another 2m had to leave the country didnt it?:rolleyes:

    It's an utterly ****e storyline in an utterly ****e series. It's been a waste of taxpayers money.

    A few smoke bombs to spare them the expense of a burning GPO artillery explosions rifle and machine gun fire and the heroic escape to Moore Street.

    It hasn't been that bad now. Drama is all subjective and its not going to please everyone. Id prefer they at least lost money through creative writing then the silly wages they are paying to useless presenters.

    Id agree its not perfect but they have at least tried their up-most and some scenes have been quite good.

    I think it's meant to be ironic, that he is considered such a small player, a nobody.

    The scene with Thomas Clarke stripped naked and refusing to bow down brought me to tears.

    The two brothers fighting then embracing and crying was wonderful.

    Yeah that was definitely an "in-joke" regarding Collins.

    Kind of pointless ending when they show a spoiler for next week.

    This actually happened. Collins and other republicans watched as the G men of the DMP picked out the rebel leaders. The officer who humiliated Clarke was shot on his orders.

    Ok...so the pace picked up a bit in ep 3 and 4 and there were some glimmers of success
    I quite liked the final scene that had the reciting of prayers over the montage of the characters but I still think the direction is off. I wonder if that's because the director isn't Irish.
