Oh, ok. I just had the impression the fact that he gave them his case surprised them, when Abberline already knew he was following a different lead.
Is it just me or was a wee bit struck by that woman they saved? Awwww

I liked this! Great cinematography (camera wow), editing, directing. I liked the writing too but I need to watch it again with subtittles because the english was a problem sometimes.

Spoiler

The idea that the cinema began as a monstrosity that should be feared is pretty funny... and real.

The acting was great too, I particularly liked Rose

Spoiler

(the girl that almost die).

And yes (D.S. Bennet Drake) had a sweet moment there. Just one thing I thought it was a bit over the top: the rat journalist, but it´s nothing really. Oh, I really liked the scene between Reid and his wife.

Spoiler

And the photographer/cameraman at the end , poor bastard.

.

About that last scene:

Spoiler

I need to watch it again with sub because I understood that DI Reid believed the journalist and Abberline arranged Maude´s death scene to look like Jack´s work. Like he was saying I´ll shut up about it but you tell the truth about this case. Something like that.

The names of the characters are great, right?: Edmund Reid, Bennet Drake and Homer Jackson (I like this actor, Adam Rothenberg).

I want more!

OOoooh I didn't think about that, that they could be the ones that arranged it. But why would they do that?? I mean them being fooled because they were paranoid about Jack is one thing, but this would have meant shooting themselves in the leg, right?
I loved, LOVED the whole beginnings of cinema idea, and the scene where Macfadyen (Reid? I need to remember their names) tells the photographer that no matter what, this is extraordinary.

Soooo.....

Spoiler

Reid's wife thinks their daughter is dead, but he knows she's not? Has he given her away or what? I don't understaaaaand.
Also, from the preview for next week - she's gonna die, isn't she? His wife I mean. 

I love this show. I do wish they'd stop using that bouncy theme all the time tho, sometimes it just doesn't fit.

I don't know why we spoiler tagged things haha. Habit, I guess.
It was something in the way he talked to that woman (Mrs Goren) that made me think he *knows* what happened to his daughter up to a certain point. How the hell do you just lose a child?? And why lie to your wife abut it? I got the feeling it's more than just a hunch of his.

 Oh I know what you mean, yes, could be. He knows something or at least he suspects. Remember any Dickens story, children can get lost very easily. Maybe he lied to her because he´s not entirely sure?

 

TIR: yes, do that please.

So I've catched up with the Ripper and lookie what I found! It's being shot in Dublin! No wander some of the places looked awfully familiar!

In case anybody's interested, found this little introductory video of one of the main state Irish TV channels.

 Was trying to watch Whitechapel last night and could not get into it.  Saw the ads for Ripper Street and Tir's thread for it.  Need to catch up, it's on BBC America on Sunday nights I guess where I am.  Yep, Y, Matthew is too yummy, need his voice for my next alarm clock!

maybe you asked me about? She´s great, you must be really good to highlight a small role. We like you Rose.

you and me, like Kiko and Kaka: I thought you asked me about Emily, Reid´s wife, this actress What are you trying to do?

Loved Ep 3

Should I use spoiler tags?
I thought it wasn't as good as the other eps, but maybe I just wasn't in the mood for it. Although it did leave me with one thought though - I wonder if Reid's daughter's disappearance is at all connected with the Thames. Why did he pick that precise spot on the shore right at the end?
Oh and something else I liked, they're really bringing his character to this grey area (the darker methods he uses etc), which - while not original - works very well here.

Well I loved the dark side of Mr Reid ! I loved the trannys too ... haha bitch nearly ripped his face !
I don't think the daughter is proven dead , as per the convo with the matron lady last week ... I think she has possibly fallen in to the river ( very fast currents ) and she hasn't been found ...

  I couldn't stop giggling in the final scene when he's trying to walk all badass in that silly suit.

 Same here. Poor Mr Darcy, he's the worst dressed character in the entire show.

Ok I loved this episode. LOVED IT. Could be my favorite after the first one, in fact they were a bit similar. Fabulous acting, great secondary characters - the news reporter, young Hobbs and the ginger man with the whiskers - LOL. what is your name dear? You're wonderful. And ? You've got to be kidding me. You thought I couldn't see you under that mustache of yours, but I did!

Spoiler

What was his purpose tho?

Some hilarious scenes (Homer, you're awesome when you're high!), and some fantastic acting in the more dramatic ones. Reid vs. Homer was A-class, and Anton Lesser in a very Qyburn-ish role - seriously, this man was born to play every creepy character in film.

Rosie and were sweet. Do something, kids.

Now, tell me if I'm imagining things, because I tend to agree with Tir on what she said earlier about Reid and his wife. His scene with the lady running that orphanage? He changes when she talks about his wife, and then the hand shot, and how she lingers. Please tell me I'm not mad. There's something there.
And now for your dose of frivolity: that scene between Reid and whatsherface, blonde chick, was Hot hot HOT. "Let me educate you"? Stop it, you silly man.

Also, if you haven't checked out the preview for next week, we have . I'll be in my bunk.

Saw the episode last night FINALLY, and two earlier in the season.  I know, I know, I missed alot! Love Matt MacF and is awesome, like him all cleaned up! That fight scene was awesome.  Good show.

Yes, in between MacFadyen's detailed character and Homer's charisma, Flynn's character seems a bit under-developed, but I think they're just taking time to flesh everybody out and he'll have his turn next episode.
Yes, Paul McGann! I forgot to mention him. And his eye twitch . So good. The actress playing Lucy, I saw her last summer in a series called Prisoner's Wives. Loved it. The acting was superb.

The man playing the Dr. in the show .... is the actor who is going to play scary Maester Qyburn.... In GoT!

he's great. he was fantastic in the hour too.

jorah! "My justice is a hurricane of fire". WUT? did you forget which show is this? Mighty voice, he´s mighty, maybe too mighty, but I liked it anyway. And then he looks at Bennet and "Do it". Aaaaaaaaw, I´d kill you Jorah if you ask me with those eyes. Men are so predictable.

Finally we have a 3d Bennet. I liked the fact that he is a man of few words. All others talked about the horrors of war so he doesn´t need too. That´s just fine writing there and the scenes with him and Reid are sooo good.

Lol, Homer is as vicious as a french poet from the XIX century. I love it. Let him be as horrible as he can be I say!

Rosie, you stupid slut, because of you this episode had the worst final scene everrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Really? love birds and a last feather flowing in the... wind of pain and deception? . C´mon!

My thoughts exactly ! I did not like this one at all ....

This episode was so badly made. And I totally loved it!
First, . My big bad handsome wrinkly-faced bear. Come here, and recite all your lines to me. Bring your hurricane of fire too while you're at it. Your voice should be illegal. I think the screenwriter was in love with you. Bad for the episode. You also need a strong director that can whip you back into place. I could do it, preciousssss. No but seriously, you are unreal.
Second, Mr. Darcy, you are a dick. You also have the greatest facial expressions. Now get out of those silly clothes. I'll be waiting.
Third, Bennet. You are wonderful. I'm sorry you got stuck with the cheesiest ending scene in the series so far, but the music was good and maybe without the slow-motion abuse it would have been better. It's not your fault. It was a fantastic episode for you.
Rosie, we're not friends anymore. Homer, you're still a dick too. But it suits you. Long Susan, just get out. Nobody likes you.

Now can we get all of the fabulous secondary characters in the same episode again? I miss The

This episode is full of information. Pitty that I lost some for the accents blah blah blah.. so if you´re so kind to tell me what Reid said about his daughter in that fire?

looooool I don´t know why I enjoyed that so much: Reid bitchslapping the russian.

I love all the relationships there. Bennet and Homer, Homer and Reid, Reid and Bennet, Reid and his wife, Reid and Mrs Goren. Wow, what a kiss there, right? I didn´t really wanted that but those Darcy looks he gave to that woman after kissing her.

I definitely love Homer, he is all flesh and blood. "give me that goddam chair!". But his pants are still hilarious.

So, what´s up with curly hair?

I forgot! It seems that somebody listened to us... Long Susan all beaten up and bruised? yay!

Yes, the spoiler tags were annoying, even for me who hasn't seen Episode 5 or 6 yet. I've just decided to read only until the original air date of the episode I haven't seen yet.
