SPOILERS.
Don't read this til you finish episode 6 of Glitch.

I am looking for a good show currently. I have been watching other stuff over again, and watching the odd movie for a while. It's not on Netflix, but there is a show called Yellowstone on regular TV. I mentioned this before I believe. You might be able to find the first season somewhere now that the second is underway. I think you would like it.

Glitch..... . . OK, yes James finishes the final episode crying as he rides down the road reading a note Sarah wrote to him before she died. I guess I was sort of wrong about what she, Phil, and Vic were. It seems like it was really them, but they have been given some mission that sort of overrides everything, something like that. Because it sounded very much like Sarah who wrote the note. And it was maudlin stuff, so naturally James was crying. lol What will happen to the survivors next season? Unfortunately I think Charlie is going to start hanging out at the bar where that diabetic gay guy works. I am betting something like that happens.

Kirstie: we see her feeling nauseous and she goes to the bathroom and it looks like she took a pregnancy test. So...remember her conversation with her falsely accused boyfriend Kevin? He talked of their shattered dreams of having a family and all that. Well, what if Kirstie was pregnant with Kevin's baby when she was murdered? I am betting that is what we will find. And Kevin will be exonerated and have his record expunged, or whatever they call that. Because Chris Rennox said he would reopen the case and admit to his actions as a child, when his brother paid him to plant the evidence used to convict Kevin. He could lose his job too I imagine, for sitting on that knowledge for all that time.

Another issue I want to know more about is that damned dog whistle thing that William Blackstone blew at the end of the show. All the returned dead people are able to hear it, at least they could earlier in the show when it was blown. Also, William got some of his memories back when he blew it before. What the hell is that thing? What is it going to do this time? Will Elisha crawl out of her grave again? That seems almost certain. Hopefully she isn't back to being a lesbian again, or William is gonna be pissed.

Yes Noregard (looks almost like "no regard", or we don't care about you, just your money) Pharmaceuticals must hire their security guards from the same group of applicants the police department pulls from. Phil was able to take them all down with minimal effort. And that lady in charge of the place, Dr. Nicola Heysen, talked James into letting her take Phil's body back to Noregard with her. (That didn't take much doing. At first James yelled NO! in a dramatic, 'don't do that' sounding voice, then Heysen calmly threatened to make waves so James capitulated with a whimper.)
And it turned out that Phil was still alive, and now he owes Heysen for saving him from prison.

I didn't realise it was the last episode in the series - no wonder it is being dragged out with such short series. With regard to Kirstie - didn't she go off with Charlie and meet a bunch of guys - she was drinking and dancing provocatively and she ended up going off with one of them much to Charlie's disgust - so I am thinking that is how she got pregnant. I think the original Sarah was still in assassin's Sarah's consciousness - she was just helpless to control her actions. Yes - that dog whistle - I could have sworn I saw that on the ground and somebody walked past it and left it there - I wondered how William got to be in possession of it again. I loved the way the diabetic gay referred to all the gay men he saw being killed and wounded etc - I don't think there were that many in the armed forces as gays were forbidden from joining the military until quite recently. Also Charlie would not have had a clue what he meant by "gay"- he would have looked puzzled at the very least. I hope they leave the gay storyline alone - he's old enough to be Charlie's father at least - maybe grandfather. Now we have Kate telling Owen the whole story - is she nuts? And it looks like Owen is going straight to the newspapers. And Phil is apparently bulletproof but Sarah isn't. I would imagine that Elishia is going to come back - so what will Phil do when she does - because according to him she is the head of the snake. I don't think Heysen would want her back now she has all her research. Does Heysen seriously think that a guy like Phil would ever think he owes her anything? He is more likely to kill her - as she is now the head of the snake. Chris would definitely lose his job if he admitted withholding evidence for so many years whilst an innocent man was serving time for- wait for it - "a crime he did not commit" !! He wouldn't - as a ten year old be held liable for planting the evidence - but he definitely would for hiding it for so long. This feels like one long series cut up into bitesize pieces.

Yeah Heysen is going to have trouble with Phil. That guy might say what he thinks she wants to hear while he studies things and plans his escape, which should not be too hard judging by the way he tore through the place last time. And she won't want Elisha back, unless she has trouble understanding her notes or something. Elisha and William were getting close just before she died. He had remembered enough about her that their romance was getting rekindled. And he just blew the dog whistle again, so maybe it will bring more of his memories back now. But when Elisha comes back, will she have her memories right away, or will she have to wait like this gang did. Will the dog whistle blown just after the experiment bring her back with her memories already working? I think gay granddad was making a comparison or an analogy about the gays in the AIDS epidemic dying off left and right, comparing them to the soldiers dying all around Charlie in the war. I can't recall the conversation they had just before his statement but I think Charlie had challenged him asking what he knew about watching his mates dying in war, something like that.
The way they portray Charlie, he seems like some guy who felt a strong bond with his friend in the army, but I don't know if they were sexually active. He seemed really surprised and freaked out when gay granddad kissed him. I hope they don't have Charlie "discover" his gay orientation and hook up with that younger bartender he seemed to have eyes for, but I fear that will happen.

Yes, Chris Rennox might have to serve time in addition to losing his job. I was thinking the same as you but didn't go that far in what I said. But he is certainly at fault for covering up what he did after the fact and letting Kevin rot in prison all those years. I wonder if he thought about that and if he will have the balls to go through with it. His brother will have to be tried for the killing now. In his condition, what sort of sentence would they hand out? Also, could his attorney mount a novel defense by calling Kirstie to the stand in order to show that she is really alive and therefore no murder could have taken place? She couldn't be the same girl, that is what the court would say, given her age. But Kirstie is such a hot headed idiot I wonder if she would jump up and insist that she was murderered and is now back from the dead! hahaha, There goes her credibility. What a fiasco that court case would be.

Yes, Owen immediately went out on the back porch and phoned someone. I am betting there will be some sort of trouble arising from that. Kate will be pissed when she finds out it was due to Owen and they will break up. But damn, I hope she can do better than James. Or maybe she can take him to the doctor and have some bigger balls surgically attached to him or something.

Yes - you are right about the Aid's comparison - I remember it more clearly now . I don't know what the propaganda machine has said in America - but in Britain we are told very forcefully that Aids was not a gay plague. Of course it was - very few people suffered from it in developed countries until it somehow escaped into the gay community and their promiscuity caused it to go through them like wildfire. Bisexuals then passed it into the straight community. Gay people don't seem to have any scruples at all. I remember a gay man being asked by a straight man on some reality show why did he make a pass at him when he knew he was straight - the gay replied - well , it's worth a try. Back to "Glitch" - yes - I noticed the handsome young man behind the bar - and I immediately thought here's Charlie's love interest so we can be treated to full on male kissing in glorious close-up. We are being prepared as Kirstie has already said something along the lines of the only man who loves her is gay. I don't think that Chris will turn himself in - his life would be ruined for no good reason. His brother would never be brought to trial as he claims he can't remember anything and the courts would probably decide he has suffered enough and in real life he would be a expensive burden on the system. It seems that only Elishia and William were supposed to come back and the others were pulled into the loop accidentally - so we are sort of in time travel territory here - it's getting a bit confused I think - trying to incorporate too many concepts together. I think that Phil is going to wait for Heysen to bring back Elishia and then kill them both at which point he will die too and so will Charlie, Kirstie, Kate and William. I don't think they will allow Kirstie to survive and have the baby. James will be left weeping over Nia - BUT - there have been some pretty weird shots of that baby - I reckon she is the future queen of the undead !!!

According to an article on season 3 of Glitch, it will probably be shown in Australia in the fall because viewers and ad revenues are highest then. Well, I meant the number of viewers will be higher. And Netflix will get the show at least a month after it is shown in Australia. So it might be next year before Netflix gets it.

There are so many ways they can play this thing. And as it is so heavily a fantasy and part sci fi type show, I don't imagine they will tie up all the loose ends as well as I would like them to, but I will take what I can get.

The comment I posted at the end of that article: "What did the dog whistle do after William blew it? Is Kirstie pregnant? And is it Kevin's baby from before she died? Will Elisha come back again, and will she have her memories? Will she keep the same body? Will she be still be straight, or will William be disappointed? What will Dr. Heysen do to Phil? Will Phil escape and begin killing people again? Will James cry some more? Wait, yes of course he will. Will Chris keep his word and re-open the Kirstie Darrow murder case and clear Kevin's name? Who did Owen call after he learned Kate's story? How much trouble is that going to cause?"

Yeah, I really hope they don't spend too much time on Charlie and his love interest. But I don't find their treatment of the gay issue as heavy handed as the way American shows treat the issue. American shows make me nauseous the way they push gay men kissing, baby talking, and being romantic with each other. It is like the writers are thinking "if the viewer doesn't like watching men kiss, we will make them vomit with this scene., hahaha".
In Glitch I have not seen that kind of presentation. Sure, there is gay activity, but it doesn't seem like the writers had set out to overplay it.

It irritates me that they have taken so long to make season 3. I feel like they should be penalized for taking so long. The viewers should be compensated for having to wait to long. We should get a year of free cable TV or something.

I didn't see any reaction from Elishia's grave when William blew the whistle - but who knows - she may have earth in her ears - or maybe it just takes longer to regenerate when you are buried out in the open - if she comes back - she will be straight because she is in love with William and if her memories of him survived the first time they probably will again. Kirstie is pregnant by the boy she went off with the night she went out with Charlie. Dr Heysen will seduce Phil with her beauty and charm.... no, that's not right - Dr Heysen will probably cut a bit more than his fingers off Phil if he tries anything. Nah - Chris will do the cowardly thing and leave well alone - Owen probably called Noregard and offered to sell her back to them. They are fairly low-key with the gay element at present - I hope it stays that way. I hope it comes back to Netflix before next year else I shall have forgotten all about it..

About the whistle and the experiment.... remember the first episode? We don't know how long it was after Elisha did the experiment before the bodies starting crawling out of the ground. We were never told that bit. She might have done it the day before, or 12 hours before, or a week before, we just don't know. In the finale, they all stood there looking around expecting the result to happen immediately, and seemed disappointed when nothing happened. I think they thought it failed.

But maybe it just takes more time. I bet it is something like that. I can't imagine they will bring the show back without bringing Elisha back to William, so the experiment has to work.

And the last thing we saw was William blowing the whistle. We don't know what that is going to do. That is one of my questions. If we have to wait six months for this I may have to binge through it one more time right before I watch season 3

I don't recall if we have ever talked about Penny Dreadful. It is three seasons long. It is a mixture of vampire and werewolf tales in old 19th century or early 20th century England. Timothy Dalton has a starring role in it and he is good. There are other good actors in it. It also has Dorian Gray in the story as well as Dr. Frankenstein. Anyway, if you have not seen it, you could give it a try and see what you think

I seem to recall watching half an episode a long time ago - it is only recently that my somewhat narrow viewing preferences have expanded to include some fantasy elements - I still can't stand zombie stuff though. I like Timothy Dalton - so if you recommend it I will give it a go. Completely off subject - I had a random thought concerning Edward and Wallis Simpson - do you suppose if Hitler had won the war and occupied Britain that he would have put these two in place as a puppet King and Queen? This is an assumption often bandied about by historians. I don't think they are right - given that we have a letter written by Edward where he is suggesting he becomes president of Britain - I think he probably realised Hitler wouldn't install him as King. But would Hitler have let him survive at all? Given that he would have become a rallying point for a disaffected conquered Britain - wouldn't Hitler have done the same as the Bolsheviks and killed the lot of them? It's the only thing that makes military sense. I have just searched for Penny Dreadful but it is not on Netflix. Have you watched "Frontier" ? I like Jason Momoa so I was thinking of giving it a try.

The acting is very good in Penny Dreadful. It doesn't try to rely on special effects like some fantasy stories. For the most part I enjoyed the show. One episode had Eva Green as a resident in an asylum, and the whole episode took place in that padded room. I didn't care for that one, but mostly it kept my interest. Give it a try for a couple episodes to see if you get interested.

Frontier: it is or was on Netflix but I have not watched it. If you watch it I will try it.

I think Hitler would have used Edward as President, but probably not as King. Hitler utilized native leadership when he captured France, those who were willing to work with him. That strategy has advantages. Edward, being well known and liked, would be expected to sway the people to more readily accept the situation. The people would still be led by a British Royal, even though his title would be political. It would be a more friendly approach than having direct German rule. Since Edward clearly liked Hitler, and had assisted him by his treasonous sharing of classified military information (as we concluded that he did), Hitler would have viewed him as a valuable and trustworthy asset. Edward could be counted on to quiet the disaffected rather than to serve as a rallying point, I believe. Hitler liked the British people. He saw you guys as more closely related to the German people, and as more advanced than others.

On the other hand, he viewed the Russians with contempt. When he invaded Russia, or the USSR, he had special units following his army, wiping out entire villages in certain regions.
I could be wrong, but I don't believe Hitler would have treated the British that way.

The communists would be more prone to wiping out non-communists and ruling with an iron fist. Hitler seemed amenable to utilizing local political structures provided they pledged obeisance, unless they were unable to control the population. When the people resisted and killed German soldiers, he could be quite brutal.

As I said in my edit which you may have missed - Penny Dreadful is not available on Netflix sadly - never mind - I will give Frontier a go and let you know how I get on. Yes - I understood that Hitler was an anglophile for some reason - and your analysis of Edward as President made a lot of sense. But being a Brit I think that we are not a people who are easy to control or manipulate via an Ex-King whose Presidency would necessitated his brother King George and his young family - either imprisoned, exiled or even executed. That would have provoked outrage and rebellion - so it remains an interesting question I think.

Oh I don't think it would have worked. I just think Hitler would have been inclined to use Edward as a figurehead. I think the British people would have fought like Churchill said. I think Edward was delusional to think he could support Hitler, and the overthrow of his brother. I don't know how he made that calculation. Was he so insulated from the real world, so accustomed to having things arranged according to his wishes that he really believed he could betray his country, and his family, and then be accepted as ruler of Britain?

Frontier is still available here. I will start watching. By the way, have you seen Person of Interest? My sister liked the show and I watched it with her. It's set in NYC in the early 2000s. Some rich guy who built an artificial intelligence system designed to identify terrorist attacks ahead of time. The system also predicted other crimes and the rich guy wanted to help save those people as well. Since the police are busy investigating crimes which have already happened, and cannot arrest people who have not yet committed a crime, he hires an ex military spec. ops guy to stop bad things happening. It is a little quirky. Curious if you would like it or not.

With regard to "Person of Interest" I have watched it and enjoyed the first few series where they kept to the computer identifying would be criminals or victims. But then the inevitable happened - the usual shoe horn in of a gay relationship - it wasn't overdone - it was just totally unnecessary - implausible and oh so PC. I kept watching it - I am not anti gay as long as sex scenes aren't shoved down my throat - but it was tainted then - with my irritation. As usual - the computer was challenged by a new entity and this led the way to an endless battle for superiority. It went on and on and on. I watched the end of course - and it was a little unexpected but not totally. I don't know if you have watched the finale - so I wont go into detail. With regard to Edward - he was a complete narcissist - all he could think of was himself and Wallis - his country and his people meant nothing to him. Probably because he considered himself to be German anyway. He mostly spoke German at home. Given his narcissism and his natural German arrogance it's no wonder he thought he could do anything. At the time the British people had no idea of what he was really like - they didn't know he was a weak - kneed party boy who only wanted to have a good time and beggar anybody else. The foreign papers knew all about his gallivanting with Wallis but the British press were gagged about it. In my view had he been Fred Bloggs (an ordinary man in the street - not sure if you know British expressions !!) he would have been shot as a traitor. Thinking of Jason Momoa - have you ever watched "Stargate Atlantis" - I quite enjoyed that.

I can understand that the British news media censored news of Edward and Wallis from the public. I guess there could be several reasons for doing so. During that period of time the news media seemed to avoid reporting on personal issues which would be embarrassing to politicians, and I would guess that would go ten times as much for royalty. Even if they disliked Edward, for the sake of the Royal Family the press might have been inclined to cover up the truth about him.

I know the American media censors our news, and always has. In the 1960s when Lyndon Johnson was President, he was drunk in public at times, but the news ignored it. Once he spoke with a reporter on live TV news after he'd had a hernia operation. LBJ was soused and he pulled up his shirt to show the scar to the reporter. No mention was made of him being impaired, or having had a drink or anything of the sort. John F Kennedy was a rounder, he slept with different women nearly every night when he was traveling, for campaigns or for whatever reason. The media was aware, but they said nothing. There is still censorship of political news coverage, but it depends on which party the offending individual belongs to, whether it is reported or not.

I am interested in the coverage of foreign media, depending upon the issue. Sometimes a foreign news company may do a much better job of presenting the facts.

I am betting that foreign news media companies might avoid reporting on American political stories which American media censor. If not for the current primary election campaigns here in the US, I doubt that news media anywhere would pay much attention at all to the corruption of people like Joe Biden and his son Hunter, and certainly the Clintons have always been given preferable treatment. (Hunter Biden has no real qualifications but he started an investment company, When Joe Biden made made decisions favorable to Russia or China, suddenly Hunter Biden's company got huge business from China (which had never done a similar deal with ANY investment firm), and Hunter was put on the board of some Russian company, whose business he knows nothing about. It was just a means for funneling money to Biden, a payoff for the favorable policy. That sort of thing is VERY illegal, and SO commonplace among the Democrats. I fervently pray that those hypocritical, corrupt, lying, thieving, traitorous scumbags face justice for their crimes. They are categorically guilty of so many crimes which the media ignores, and which the corrupt Dept. of Justice has up to the present ignored or refused to prosecute. Meanwhile, they go after Trump by creating false allegations.
I have not yearned to see American politicians go to prison before, but I really want to see them face justice now. I would like to see Hillary Clinton hang. I am convinced that she sold classified information to the Chinese and got 22 operatives killed. Have you ever seen the list of close associates of the Clintons who have met early deaths by accident or suicide? The list includes a sizable number of secret service agents or security guards who, due to their constant proximity to them, were privy to much of their criminal activity. So many Clinton associates "committed suicide" that they began to call it "Arkanicide" (he was Governor of Arkansas).)

There I go again. I am so disgusted with the corruption in American politics. If something reminds me of the subject, I can't help expressing my disgust.

Yes, Person of Interest was best in the early seasons. Once "koo koo nut" girl came on the show, and she started making eyes at Shaw, and making comments about hooking up with her, it changed the dynamics. As you indicated, and as we have talked about previously, the gay/lesbian arc has become compulsory in modern media and this trope is inserted in the story whether it fits the story, whether it detracts from the show, whether it makes any sense in the plot, or not.
It's not the audience which requires the gay/lesbian theme be shoehorned into the story. It is added to the story by liberal social engineers who demand repetitive attention to the gay trope. It's like subliminal advertising (except this is not below the level of consciousness); the idea is to repeat the theme over and over and over again: look, there is a gay person, look there is a gay person... ad nauseum. It has become a compulsory element which must be added to the show. It is a predictable, boring, tedious, here we go again, banal, worn out interruption to the plot. There are a few, standard, twists on the gay lesbian theme. We have seen them all so many times that I know ahead of time what is going to happen after a few lines. In one show it is the sympathetic, kind, intelligent, long-suffering gay guy who is harassed by "homophobic" blockheads. In another show it is the 'gay baiting' tease in which two girls gaze into each others' eyes just a bit longer than normal, each afraid to say anything. Later the tension may build as they accidentally bump into each other, and timidly apologize and pause, their lips close together in an almost kiss. Scenes like these are repeated frequently on TV shows, but not because they are germane to the story or the plot.

I didn't like the deep state cabal developing their own artificial intelligence computer system and competing with them.

Again, the writers apparently felt that they had to change the winning formula. They are afraid the show will "get stale", so they change the plot. And so many times when that happens, the essence of the show is altered and the quality of the experience suffers.

I did see the finale though I cannot recall it exactly. I think the limping nerd Harold decided to be the hero and sacrifice himself in a bid to kill the evil artificial intelligence system.

All I can recall of the end events of P.O.I. is that the computer's nemesis was a ten year old boy called Samaritan - and I remember they were on a rooftop for some reason and John Reese got killed. It got confusing because Sameen was in virtual reality situations all the time after she had been taken prisoner and you couldn't tell what was real and what wasn't - it got irritating. I don't know what happened to Harold Finch - I think Root was killed and her consciousness went into the computer. I don't really recall what happened to the computer - whether it survived or whether Samaritan prevailed. I think. in Britain, that the gay overload in adverts and on television shows is beginning to have a backlash - because homophobic attacks are increasing - some of the perpetrators are teenagers - so they may be shooting themselves in the foot with regard to demanding acceptance of gays. Grindr apparently has a new app which tells gays who are travelling which countries do not accept their lifestyles - somewhat ironic as the likes of Grindr and Tinder are where gays meet up with people who subsequently murder them - perhaps they should address that rather than stating the obvious about Muslim countries in particular. It is shocking what you say about the Clintons - similar in a way to the Kennedy assassination - I read somewhere that 300 people met unnatural deaths in the wake of that. Politics is a filthy business and now we have a Prime Minister who is reportedly a supporter of the hard right - Thank goodness they are only in for four years before they need another election to keep in power - by which time the people will make their own judgements on their performances.
