Armin, Thank you for this info. Although I'm from England ( some years ago and I hadn't been in a Court in the UK) wasn't aware of this, but it has a sensitive logic to it.

Feel guilty that I somehow missed last week's episode which I see received a very favorable review - suppose it's because I've got so used to BBC America's continuous loop of Top Gear, Gordon Ramsey etc., etc ;'tho I really, really do miss "Luther".
Very impressed by the virtually unanimous appreciation of Olivia…

“Do you think C-4 is too much?” – Root’s cheeky little quips and all knowing smile are always a necessary ray of sunshine to counterbalance Reese’s impassive, impregnability.
Miss her when she’s not participating, particularly now that Shaw is on ‘a leave of absence’; who let’s face it was also pretty dour herself.

Dear kos
"I don't think the Wolf Hall books get nearly to Oliver Cromwell, alas."

Sherlock's riffs on the trials and tribulations of 'Family' were amusing and were punctuated by his graphic reference to the connection caused by "a dilated cervix" !
Reserved Brits are just so naughty! :-;)

Actually a disappointing Episode with a poor surface story and maybe more interesting back story of Finch realizing that he can be wrong. Best dialogue was that maybe the tape was to keep "the Hugo Boss logo in place" - probably a paraphrase, but close.
Yes the group needs reinforcements and particularly the usual…

Really feel that the answer to Joan's wardrobe is easy. She just dresses in accordance with Lucy Liu's own taste and the costumes are most likely a side perk to her pay for the role.
Have always really liked Lucy as there is always something particularly endearing about her, even when playing 'bad guys' (which she's…

Why this seemingly overwhelming need to be obnoxious and participate in a forum about a TV program that you've admittedly already watched and so feel is 'so yesterday'?
Does this (including your or so perceptive comments) give you some sad buzz of superiority?

Is this really necessary?

Incredible colors for a country with a gloomy climate and also excellent cinematography.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, ENOUGH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The ongoing black cloud over Mr. Bates and Anna is tiresome - really, really tiresome!!!
Surely Fellowes you realize this by now???
PS Until Episode 8 was really giving up on the Series and felt that Grantchester was superior, as the continued misery just…

"Rose, who is so guileless'
After the contrived Atticus with hussy photo, she's now able to immediately detect any 'dark side' motivation and consequently has a responsibility to immediately resolve it!

"Kevin Doyle, the actor, has created a marvelous character. He's like Job, the original schlimazel"

"The stories in this episode weren't all that great (the same could be said about every other DA episode, of course)"

Remember that Tom has family in Boston. The concern has to be that Sybbie ends up growing up and getting involved with Boston Irish crime; maybe, like …………………………………………marrying into the Kennedy Family???
Actually if the series went on long enough this could be used as a feasible plot detail, as if I recall correctly…

What's with the 'Mary Hate' for this Season? Because she was 'bedded out of wedlock'? - and in Liverpool no less?

"Do they take checks?"

"Though I have yet to have the opportunity to spend time in the UK"
Hope that you make it because I don't think you'll be disappointed.
I'm caught between both countries and from my experience 9 out of 10 Americans really like it. Tiny place with large population, but yet when you fly in; it's all green countryside with…

As I referenced above, Raza Jaffrey was also in "MI-5" ( aka "Spooks" in the UK) so perhaps he's a 'freelance agent'? Which brings up the question of allegiance and can a 'freelance agent' really be trusted?

"they still had Kitty burn his fucking face off"
