Buffistas

Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

The ship that inspired the comment was Matthew/Lady Mary, but I also recall shipping Anna/Bates with similar fervor.

Your whitefont was rather...obviously set up. I spent a lot of time telling people (TOM. And Bates) to stop talking now, please. Please. They didn't listen.

I have to say, I think...not Harriet Jones...Penelope Wilton holds up her end of scenes with Dame Maggie better than Shirley McLaine. eta: I think they're going with the slow boil on her character's ripples in the family.

I swear, 1920 fashions have magical powers. When you can make Michelle Dockery look frumpy...

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I think I have a new favorite show.

Four women worked at Bletchley Park during WWII, identifying patterns and breaking codes. Nine years later, they are living lives of quiet desperation, patronized by their husbands and intellectually stultified. Until one of them spots a pattern in the police reports of a series of brutal murders...

The Bletchley Circle.

I've only seen the first one, but it's very well done, and it's the most explicitly feminist show I've seen in a while.

Ooh, that sounds awesome, Consuela--where is it on, or do you have to ahem it?

I ahemed it. It's the sort of thing that should pop up on BBCA at some point, except my cable company appears to have dropped BBCA from my cable package in the last week: I had to ahem Dr. Who as well.

It's just as well I didn't like Copper that much...

I wouldn't hold your breath, as it's an ITV show (though I think these do appear on BBCA occasionally).

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

Inside the UK, or probably from elsewhere with appropriate proxies, it can be watched on ITV's website: link.

Ah, good point. Well, maybe it'll show up on Masterpiece Mystery, then.

Compassionately intolerant

I really like The Bletchley Circle too and am on tinder hooks over next week's episode.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

For future reference, it's tenterhooks, bonny.

Though hooks that burst into flame would definitely be anxiety provoking.

Heh. I saw tinder hooks and thought "wait, isn't it tenter? Tenter? That doesn't make any sense either!" and had to go look it up.
