h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hey - *I'M* from Doncaster!!

Quick! Blow it out!!




*hides under her Matt*

Don't mention blowing! 2legs is online!

Make sure it doesn't go off in his mouth!

Toss it over there, then *points towards Hoggy* ------------->

I was thinking of drop-kicking it to the Yikes thread.

But that would incur the wrath of B'Elana!

Too late.

ROYMONDO!!!!


*runs into the yikes thread*

Spooks is getting tedious now: Carter's wife just got killed, and I've heard that from here on he has an irritatingly dominant nervous breakdown.

It's turning into a soap opera. Why does this always happen to decent long-running dramas?

Empathy?

That would be OK if the programme was a soap to start with, but it started out as a tense, exciting drama about MI-5, with the personal stuff thrown in to make it even more tense (such as the last ten minutes of Series one, as you mentioned.)

Bring on the political intrigue and tense 'Oh my god, they wouldn't, would they?' stuff!

It gets back to the nail-biting stuff..

That's better! Sad end to the previous one (telling the son etc: rather heart wrenching) then opening the next one by telling pushy Americans where to get off!

Marvellous.

I'm bored of Spooks now. Too many ticking bombs and close shaves, too much of what's-his-chops's turmoil. Methinks it might have jumped the shark.

Which one did you just watch? This week's or next?

I was into next week's when I wrote it. I'm undecided again now: they seem to be focussing more on a story arc than individual episodes at the moment, which could turn out well.

Oh come on, this is silly.

It's very much on in the background.

"Oh look, that man's not the *real* one - he's carrying his newspaper under the wrong arm!"

Wow, this is TOP QUALITY stuff!
