Don't know how you can expect the whole world to hold its tongue until 2 of your friends decided its time to jump aboard.

I thought Dazzler might end up a Michael Corleone type but in fairness his ending worked well too.

A.Partridge · 17-12-2012 12:21am

Well, Nidge needn't worry too much about Dano.

Mrs Hot RA will despatch him in episode 1 of season 4 so that will leave Nidge in the clear. That's my prediction anyway.

Conmaicne Mara · 17-12-2012 12:21am

Ah sure there has to be a progression, the business they're in deals in death, otherwise it turns into Fair City or Home & Away with the same career characters doing the same ould same ould every week, it'd get old quick.

His wages were too high and RTE couldn't provide it, so this was how they were to get rid of him.

Yet they can find the absurd cash for Joe Duffy and Pat Kenny :rolleyes: That said though while Sheehan is a good actor i think he didnt fit the part of Darren although he brought some excellent elements to the character i think another actor would have brought more

I love to see Sheamus from WWE on this

Nah, but I reckon that blue hoodie could make an appearance on The Walking Dead in Feb

Oh wait, no, he was shot in the noggin!

.....And the gangland style backstabbing continues with the Week in politics currently on RTE 1..

Is Tommy definitely brain damaged? 'Mild traumatic brain trauma' I think it was described as.

Maybe they threw that line in so that we won't be too surprised when he's back on his feet next season.

I've just watched Seasons 1 & 2 back to back recently, and Tommy is a pointless character. I think the reason he has been in the coma for the last 2 weeks is because there is no need for his character in the programme at all. All he does in season 1 is grunt monosyllables and shag women. In season 2 all he does is mess up a couple of jobs he's given, force Siobhan to muel money, and shag women.

I think they should have written Tommy and Darren as one character instead of two different characters. Let's call him 'TomDar'. Tomdar would have been seduced by Siobhan in the first season, and shacked up with her in the second season. Sometimes he gets it right and he's a crack hitman, but sometimes he gets it wrong, like Tommy did at the Bookies shop in season 2. Tomdar would have more screentime than any of the current characters - he'd be the focus of the show. There would have been no need for that Ruth Negga love-interest side-story.

heffo500 · 17-12-2012 12:28am

Do you think Lizzie shaved her head so she would look like Danno and he would get the blame for the murder if there were any witnesses and take the heat away from her?

mloc123 · 17-12-2012 12:28am

I think it was a good way to write him out. Viewers will forgive nidge as in the end it wasn't him who killed of Darren.

Sound Bite · 17-12-2012 12:29am

Good ending but they just decimated their female audience.

Penneys are delighted with the free advertising with Robert Sheehan wearing one of their range on the most watched Irish program the last 6 weeks

Stone Cold or The Rock , few stunners or rock bottoms be more the part to be honest.

When the budgie died that would have clearly called for a rock bottom..

isn't it great to have the old discussion about it though, and everyone cold sober

so who snitched on him?, it was accidental, he didn't mean to kill her brother.
Also, they were close and all.

Dan Chipowski · 17-12-2012 12:34am

Great finale to the series, and I didn't see the Lizzie thing coming.

The only downpoint was the absurd notion that Darren and his single handgun could scare off 3 or 4 of Dano's crew who were armed to the teeth.

I have a theory on why they made nidge change into mechanics overalls in the garage. They were going to recruit him into a trial of offering services to motorists in code for specific drugs. E.g. need my clutch fixed = cocaine, new tyres = weed, oil changed = pills, etc. this would also explain why they didn't kill him. They would have to show him the basics though to make it believable to the cops.

Only if the guards mistake 6ft 2 for 5ft 2 in the description... (which could happen in fairness)

VERY SAD, But Sheehan never fitted the role of ruthless killer / emotional reck for me.

They hadn't seen each other since it happened,

Nidge had told the head IRA fella it was Darren who had shot him, would have never mentioned him not knowing,

Lizzie could have easily found this out, and got enough tips from following Darren around on his escapades.

Berlin at night · 17-12-2012 12:45am

Talk about a load of b**lks - woeful final episode, and 60 minutes I won't get back. I had a feeling they were out of ideas after last week's poor showing, but this really sucked. I hope they don't make a fourth series as they have milked it as far as they can go. It was obvious Darren was going to get it, as Robert Sheehan is quite an established actor in England, and is making serious inroads into Hollywood, so he wouldn't have the time or interest to do a fourth series. Rubbish, OTT ending.

I think, to keep the localness of the series they need one or two Dublin, or at least Irish actors. I think branching out too much into Russian mafia blah, blah would be a mistake.

I think they could do a Limerick series and they could explore the whole area of gangland crime spreading to the small towns. i.e Clonmel has a serious problem and was in the news today.

Ha ha nearly pissed myself laughing when Aido said he needs to 'get back down the gym'

You didn't like it so you hope they don't make another series

What about the rest of us who thought it was great and can't wait to buy the box set and watch it all again. As they say "its not compulsory ya know"

As a female we need some totty for series 4 - maybe Nidge could expand his contact with foreigners he meets at the Gym - a nice sexy brooding Eastern european hit man to replace Darren

I hate to see Darren go. He was a cold blooded murderer/dog killer etc, but he did it with such charm. Siobhan even called him a sweetheart tonight.

Next season, Fran needs a major role. Coola boola.

RA made it very clear this series that they weren't interested in drugs. He was told to change clothes in case he was wearing a wire or carrying anything. The gear he changed into had no pockets and the wellies prevented him from concealing anything in his runners.

How do you know she wasnt trained? The RA Could have been keeping her back out of sexism but kept her to do jobs like pretending to be Darren's girlfriend etc

part time punk · 17-12-2012 1:04am

When he was with the IRA man being 'questioned' why didn't Nidge blame Tommy for the pipebomb, Dano's dad being killed etc? Darren did do the final blow it was really Tommy who'd done the damage anyway. Most of all though he's in a coma anyway so not much they can do to him. And why give Darren the 10k he owed with a hit on him at the same time.

Blaming it on the vegetable would be seen as a bit convenient though.
