there was six, there is five...
I am working my way through Life series 2 with painful slowness. I apologise for this being my first reaction, but shouldn't it be "there were six, there are five"? I wouldn't have noticed but Crews repeated it so many times that I was fully expecting him to correct the grammar, and now I'm just confused.
Meanwhile! Crews eats a worm! Reese gets with the greasy new boss and I thoroughly approve! Ted has a pencil in his hand! I really have nothing useful to say, because this show is so satisfying, and I'm used to discussion coming from the chronically unsatisfying frustration of watching Spooks. I don't watch much formulaic television and, I don't know, does that make sense? I'm taking great joy from the way each episode is laid out with this much slightly-whacked-out-case (with this many false suspects), this much overarching-conspiracy-plot (with this much surprise reveal), this much Crews-being-odd, this much Ted-being-adorable, this much Reese/Tidwell. So even when the case-plot is dumb (what was with that frozen-evil-scientist one?), I'm prepared to forgive if there's a Ted scene. Which there always is.
Possibly I'm thinking about this too much. Possibly I have just joined the 21st century.
Oh wait, I have something else. Connie's a traitor. HA!
