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.
He was on a boat with his daughter and a few other people. There was a fire (??) and the boat was ripped in half, I think. He couldn't reach his daughter because something fell on him - hence the burn. But her body has not been found.
This was Homer's episode. "Jackson?" "Give me that chair..." I laughed so hard. Every scene these two share is fantastic. Great chemistry.
That bitchslapping moment was pure gold. It came out of nowhere, pheeeuf!
Oh my, that kiss had a great replay value. Come, let me eat your face and then throw you stupid longing looks like the romantic hero that I am. Nobody does it better than you, Mr. Darcy. Come and cry at my bossom.
Loved it from beginning to end, 'xcept i was like "stop flirting u big flir.... uh. kiss. damn u, man! I told u to stop and you go ahead?" And bronn, you poor thing, always getting the sharp end of the knife. come here, you! I'll comfort you. Homer, 10/10. such swag! so funny
like ye said, all the relationships between the mains are gold. very enjoyable

Wiki has spoken. Sorry if this is old news, but it's the first time I read about it.
It was confirmed by BBC commisoner Ben Stephenson, on 29 January 2013, that Ripper Street will return for a second 8-part series.
Speaking about the show's renewal, creator and writer Richard Warlow told the BBC: "I am enormously grateful to have been given the opportunity to return to 'H' Division once more and will be working tirelessly to ensure that those who have joined us each week will find ever more compelling crime-fighting thrills down on Ripper Street the second time around. The series will move forward into the 1890s: the death rattle of a century coming to a close, the labour pains of a modern world on the rise. It is this sense of climax and calamity that, week by week, our heroes will confront with conviction and heroism."
Series two of Ripper Street is planned to start shooting spring 2013 (potentially once again in Dublin), for its broadcast in early 2014.

Ok, this is obviously not Ripper St. But I was in bed, coughing my head off while enjoying Maliti's recommendation "Ashes to ashes", when who do I see? Matthew McFadyen with a tache and a mullet. I can't stop smiling. So funny!

Wow! What and episode ! I cried out and swore and shed a tear... It had a bit of everything in there ..Even High Noon ! Ha ha ! and when Mathew clicks his fingers I go week at the knees...
What´s up with all that argentine talk in this episode? Oh well, the 19th century was very good for some people here. Let´s forget about it. Some good scenes again between them. Lol, when Reid´s wife went to the police station, he was so annoyed, his expression made laughed: "MY WIFE????!!!!". And Hobson???
They took the time to develop Long Susan and I didn´t like the result. Suddenly she´s good and soooo in love? She´s a bitch, we all know it and I don´t like the actress at all. Could be that her character is weak.
So Homer is still Homer to me... I don´t want to know anymore about that Matthew thingy... we already killed one Matthew you know where.
So next episode we´ll have Homer The Ripper it seems. Could be a nice twist.

they killed mah boy... he was so sweet... and there's so precious few identifiable people in that police station that you can actually see! I mean it was the boy and the beard, right? appart from the main characters. that's all there was. and now it's just the beard. it strikes me as too few.
and how comes it's suddenly ok for a man attached to the police to shoot another in the middle of the street with lots of witnesses? it was not that the "duel" produced that result, when he shot him he was unarmed. I'd expect at least Read would've been bothered by that.
(curiosity note: The bank and the street, all those scenes, are just the courtyard of Trinity College Dublin, I was so distracted by that! )

Well technically I think it's still considered a duel until they both shoot, it doesn't have to be at once. But that scene was a bit too much, with everybody just leaving them to it.
Now, let's see.
Bennet and Rosie, I love their storyline. Great script, great lines. Now kiss!
Homer and Long Susan, I actually like them together. She's not great, and that letter was horrible, but it was so obvious from the start they still love each other, they just overdid it a bit. Homer the Ripper was a great twist, can't wait to see what they make of it.
Barristan was good, now I want to see him in other things.
Hobbs for me was a bit obvious, since he featured heavily from the start of the episode, and there was something in that scene at the beginning with him finding the body that seemed like it would be significant later on. I didn't cry, but I was deeply moved. The scene where Reid and Bennet see him was so good! The way Mr Darcy tears up is amazing, he looks so real. He makes the best faces, everything from comic to deeply hurt. Now that's talent. From the preview it finally looks like we're gonna see what happened to his daughter next week. But I want to know what will happen with Emily and Mrs. Goren. Fantastically awkward scene together this week.
Who else? Mrs Fanthorpe, what a (double) surprise.
Rhaegar, despite wounding Robert, was struck down with a massive blow from Robert's warhammer, which scattered the rubies encrusted in Rhaegar's armor under the water. Rhaegar died with Lyanna Stark's name on his lips.
That opening was so touching! Rosie's new life, the lads singing and tearing up (reminded me of the Wire, heh), and Darcy's scene with Mrs. Goren, no words needed. So beautiful. Blackfishie's voice, oh what a treat! I want to see this man in GoT already. Why wasn't he in the trailer? Stop hiding him from me, HBO. "Your Ripper is not for finding, only for hunting." This script is brilliant sometimes. "I cannot be the sounding board for your guilt". Just stop it you two, you're killing me. Can't she and Emily both have Reid? Everybody deserves Reid. But mostly me. Hobbs was married?! Aaaw no, stop being so cruel. Bennet, you're breaking my heart. Jerome Flynn is simply amazing. Oh come on, Rosie again?! Rosie, don't date people you meet on the internet, has no one told you this? No no no no Juan Borgia, just GTFO. You are the definition of creepiness and nobody likes you. What's with the hair? Why do they always give him such crappy hair? The twist with the steamer was pretty good. The little girl not being Reid's daughter was even better. Where do I know Clara from? Was she the nun from Borgias? Ooh gawd, Darcy's scene with her at the police station. You big tense bear, you're filling my screen with awesomeness and I want to climb you. LOL, Jackson the Cook. You so sassy and unwashed, Homer. When do we get our series 2, dammit? It's like they've written the ending with a second season in mind. So I'd like it tomorrow, please.
...the lads singing and tearing up (reminded me of the Wire, heh) You big tense bear, you're filling my screen with awesomeness and I want to climb you.
I really liked the fact that Reid is not that formidable... he knew nothing about Hobbs and Bennet holds a grudge for that.Goody. Bennet is a good character now and Flynn is a nice actor. I´m sure that scene with the other girl in the whorehouse wasn´t easy for the kind of actor he is.
Rosie, you duff cow. Get a job woman! Jk I like that she seems irredeemable. Long Susan´s hens are deserting her. Suck it up bitch.
Oh those hot romantic nights with Mrs Goren. The second scene between them, it was some great acting there from his part. The dialogue was really good yes but I don´t quite like her, the actress, she has that expression you can´t tell if she´s smiling or what. But that man, the way he suffers reminded me of Faramir.
Some great dialogues in this episode. When Reid talked Aberline about obssesions… I need to watch that again ´cause I don´t remember. Aberline looked like a fool right? So good. And btw the actor is HUGE, taller than Mc Faddyen.
And Juancito Borgia? "...rather than an argentine woman?" Juancito, you don´t know what you´re missing. Think on your hair before I talk. The bells at their house were great ah? Very creepy.
So, Buenos Aires and Argentina again. That was, nonetheless, a nice piece of our history, when my country lived only from our cattle. Especially because all the industrial cold storage for our meat were english. So it makes sense but it´s a bit creepy...you know, for a moment I thought about "Juancito el destripador"?, lol.
The scene I liked the most was that one between Reid and Bennet at the bar. The silence, the clock ticking, the few words. Amazing.
Barnaby Hodor? Lol, so creepy. Is he argentinian too?
Awesome stuff, full of win everywhere. I really liked the girl wasn´t his girl and yes Machuska, Juancito´s sister is the nun from the Borgias. And last but not least my dirty savage Homer… he scalps dead people now, you´ve got to love him.

I knoooow right, I kept wondering is she SMILING?! But no, it's just her mouth or facial expression, she was strained but seemed like she was smiling from that angle. So did they say goodbye at the end? Noooo, Emily is wonderful but I sort of liked his storyline with Mrs Goren, and all that silent passion. No one can suffer like Macfadyen can, NO ONE.

Yes, ma'am! No one can suffer like Macfadyen can, NO ONE. It is known.

I DVR'd two episodes. First impression: It looks like a cheap History Channel Documentary. It is filmed the same way using green and yellow filters. Not a fan of that look. Reminds me of those documentaries too much. I also have no idea what episode I am watching because they are not numbered. I would really prefer to start at the beginning. I am excited that Bronn seems like he is a fairly major character so yay! I will give it a further go. Too tired tonight however.

Do that yes, start with ep 1. Now I´m thinking I know nothing, I thought you´d like Homer more.

Bronn shaving and MacFadyen in the same show? And then and Hodor? What's not to love.

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.
Yes, Mr. Darcy's haberdasher should be put on the rack, methinks. And oh my , his wife Emily is the chick from The White Queen, Margaret is it? Henry's momma? That was disturbing to see her again .

Ripper Street is going to cure that ugly little black hole inside me that watching Downton Abbey this season is giving me.
stop watching that, the black hole will grow and grow and grow and grow!!!
Yes, first show I want to watch after the BB binge.

This show has great openings, that's for sure. Redbeard is back! Macfadyen's trillion faces are back! Benjen, baby, I can't understand you without subtitles, but your forehead is magnificent. You adorable filthy pig. Elephant man is on to you. I don't remember Bennet's wife, who is she again? And can we keep Homer stoned all the time?
Watched this morning before work. Fantastic!
I've missed this show more than I knew . We're clearly going to have half the Thrones cast again but that's fine with me ... Mathew's voice makes me go funny inside.
They are really going for Ye Olde English I struggle sometimes so goodness knows how you guys are coping. Don't think the phrase "Knock your self out " would of been in use but I'll give the writer that one seen as he is doing a sterling job!
I LOVED John Merrick's appearance.
Macha , they pulled a fast one on us with his wife, different actress, completely, they haven't even tried to make her look similar!!
