Luther series 3 episode 4

[hestia8]

FINAL EPISODE!

Not sure how I feel about this yet. Need to rewatch 3 & 4 together to see if it does hang together properly (I have my doubts about certain things).

Longer meta on the whole series to come eventually...

1. 1. Ugh, I don’t want this to be the last episode. Not faaaaaaaaair.
   2. I like the look of Field of Blood
   3. Aaaaaaaaaaaargh episode 3 WHY WHAT gaaaaaah (let’s hope I get more coherent than this when I actually write meta about this series)
   4. Oh Justin :(
   5. Poor Mary.
   6. Oh, hang on, does he know she’s there or is he just shooting up Luther’s place?
   7. He’s a dick either way
   8. There’s some fairly dodgy stuff going on this series, and either the answer is ‘none of it hangs together if you think about it’ or ‘John’s life REALLY REALLY sucks’
   9. Oh Stark what the fuck are you even doing there
   10. “What is it with John Luther and the people he loves?”
   11. Oooh, there’s an AU idea I hadn’t had yet (that John is legit cursed).
   12. WHAT THE FUCK, STARK?
   13. WHAT?
   14. IN WHAT FUCKING UNIVERSE DOES THIS MAKE SENSE? ANY SENSE?
   15. WHAT
   16. In no way would anyone ever believe for more than two minutes that he’d kill Justin though
   17. Also that the murderer was a) white, b) a different build, and also that John does not have a gun
   18. Fuck’s sake, someone get the CCTV
   19. AND WHY WOULD THEY LET STARK DO THE INTERVIEW
   20. Wait what? So you know it was the other dude? SO HOW COULD YOU ARREST HIM FOR MURDER?
   21. Oh that is just bullshit.
   22. AHAHAHAHA
   23. ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE
   24. OH ALICE <3
   25. “This is a nice place. Is it yours?” “Don’t be silly.”
   26. Oh, poor Justin, he gets killed and people are STILL calling him Luther’s puppy.
   27. “Seems to me your conscience has killed more people thank I have.”
   28. Wow, rub it in Alice, why don’t you?
   29. Hahahaha, snow!
   30. “Got married?” “You got what?”
   31. BERTRAND
   32. “Oh, he was intensely intellectual.” “He was?” “Sadly passed away.”
   33. “You don’t feel sorry for anyone.”
   34. “She’s not what you want. She’s what you want to want.”
   35. Neil Cross does Manic Pixie Dream Girl? I should have caught that earlier.
   36. Has Ruth Wilson always spoken this quietly on the show? I'm struggling to hear her lines.
   37. Ruth Wilson’s hair annoyingly perfect as ever
   38. “Well, never let it be said that you are less than audacious, Miss Morgan.”
   39. John’s being nicer about Stark and Grey than I’d be at this point
   40. Also I’d dispute that she can trust them, but I get that telling her otherwise wouldn’t do any good.
   41. “You’re trying to lure him here. Are you mad?”
   42. “I’m bored of this already.”
   43. “He really does need the world to love him, doesn’t he?”
   44. A REFERENDUM ON THE DEATH PENALTY
   45. Hahahahaha, ok then
   46. “And you do so very want to be admired. Which is a defect in a multiple murderer.”
   47. Oh John!
   48. Jesus. Poor John.
   49. How much does this man’s life suck? Seriously.
   50. “What’s that?” “Proof you shouldn’t need of the kind of man John Luther actually is.”
   51. “Oh, and if you ever betray him like this again, I’ll kill you. And eat you. How does that sound?”
   52. HAHAHA
   53. Oh. Well that’s one way to end the Stark plotline.
   54. Erin!
   55. “Did John send you to do this?”
   56. “Find me a nail.” “Nail? What kind of -“ “Nail, nail, as in a hammer and.” “Okay.”
   57. Hahaha, Mary showing some sense there and just doing as Alice tells her.
   58. “Breathe, Tinkerbell.”
   59. Hahahaha, Alice’s confused face when Mary took her hand is the best thing
   60. Rooftop conclusion! These things never end well.
   61. “I said pick one.”
   62. “Why?” “So you know what it feels like.”
   63. “I can’t. I can’t pick one.” “Then you’ll walk out of here alone!”
   64. “Alice.” “Say it again.” “Shoot Alice!”
   65. Alice! <3
   66. Sometimes murderers are useful to have around, obviously.
   67. Schenk has got to do a fair bit of running around this episode
   68. OMG ERIN’S NOT DEAD
   69. And Alice got arrested, which makes me want to do a sad face icon even though I totally know better
   70. “There’s been a mix up over who’s who.”
   71. AHAHAHAHAHA
   72. “I don’t care what she’s done, John. She saved my life.”
   73. Amazing
   74. “So you should probably go.” “Yeah. Yeah, I should do that.”
   75. Gosh I hope someone writes John/Alice/Mary (I might)
   76. That’s basically the only time I’ve ever shipped John/Alice, now I think about it.
   77. John, please go and get some medical help now.
   78. And someone get Mary some counselling.
   79. “It was clever, the choice you made.”
   80. “So. Now what?”
