Friending...

[charmax]

If I have recently friended you it's because I am fed up with the lj hopping. I have added you because I like to watch your vids, see your art, just read you generally because you are interesting. There is no need to friend me back if you don't want to; most of my posts consist of art, vids + memes - not a lot of meat. If you are currently on my list and want to make an escape now, go ahead. I won't hold it against you. If you have friended me and I have not added you back, I'm sorry. If I do this it's because I feel we have very minimal in common, we never communicate or unlikely to ever comment on each others posts.

So with that out of the way - Hi new folk. :)

ETA: Possible LoM season 2 spoilers in comments.

I get what you mean about ep 9 and to some extent I agree. It seemed like it was trying to remind us what the set up was whilst at the same time evolving that set up. So, yes I agree they could've swapped the eps round so that the bent copper ep could reintroduce us to the characters and what their reactions to things are. It would also reaffirming Sam as a fish out of water with regard to racism within the force and also highlighting a aspect of the 70s that doesn't fit in with cosy nostalgia.

The trouble was that ep 10 felt a bit too much like an ep of The Sweeney and not enough like LoM.

The problem I had with the season premiere was how quickly Sam was willing to embrace the idea of fitting someone up. He went from "By the book" to planting evidence at break neck speed and with no apparent problem with his conscience. That just didn't ring true and also made his character a little bit less likeable.
