    the 'discovery' by Elmo of Darren's motive. How the feck did he twig that?? :rolleyes:

    Because Darren was acting squirrely, he caught darren looking weirdly at him and most importantly darren never asked him about the bitemark on his face which is the very first thing someone would ask about unless they already knew what had gone down. At that point Elmo thought he was being clipped for the brawl in the pub. When darren said it was because git was missing Elmo stated honestly that he had nothing to do with it. He then saw from Darrens reaction that Darren already knew that and put 2 and 2 together to realise that nidges gang had bumped off git for some reason and that he was a convenient patsy.

    Was watching it on RTE 1 +1 there now and it was just before the scene where Darren and the young one were making their way to the cousins house. i found it hard enough to watch the first time but i honestly found it so spine chilling i couldn't possibly watch it again.

    An actual shooting with the blood and gore doesnt shock me but the whole context surrounding the shooting where in that moment Darren feels there is no other option and the girl knows her goose is cooked is quite simply disturbing. Yer man's shooting was pretty graphic beforehand. Camera work is fantastic this season. The production is clearly better funded.

    I remember the shooting scenes in series 1 the camera was shaking all over the place. Didn't quiet capture the effect like tonight but i wont knock series 1 because it laid a strong enough base for season 2 in terms of keeping people tuned in.

    I knew there was something funny about it but i thought maybe i was getting confused with the mirror.

    That's quite shockingly sloppy from a production point of view.

    Was he not looking in the mirror at the beginning of the episode hence why it's looks like it's on the wrong side?

    Darren was being Darren, he wasn't acting anything. The 'looking wierdly' scene happened because Elmo was giving him the eye, Darren turned to see Elmo watching him. The nonsense we where asked to believe in that scene was an insult tbh. 'I'm tired, do it now' and then a minute later he sold out his cousin???

    Fair point but to be fair i doubt many would go to work if they thought they would come back in a box.

    I'm sure poor Anthony wouldn't have went to work that morning neither, if he thought that. Truth is he was only out working earning an honest shilling, he hadn't a clue what was going to go on. poor chap. R.I.P.

    Yes, you fear you are gonna be clipped so you roam the streets openly inviting potential 'clippers' for drinks even when they say they are heading elsewhere. :rolleyes:

    It seems that some people are more focused on nitpicking than on enjoying the story. So focused that they miss the point entirely.

    The 'story' is as sloppy and unoriginal as the production values in fairness.

    He gets shot...

    ...............then he gets shot.....
    .....................then she gets shot....
    ...........................and then the baby cries, oh so harrowing.....

    The story? Guessing who gets shot next.

    Yep, really enjoyable.

    Nice attempt to divert attention from your 'sloppy' error about the mirror. But seriously, why do you bother? Why do you bother watching, and spending so much time posting about, something that doesn't meet your high standards?

    Is there another agenda here? A disgruntled competitor perhaps?

    I wasn't talking about the mirror, the 'wound' was mobile throughout. In the mirror shot it was on his cheek directly under his eye and large, in the pub it was smaller and higher up and to the right of his eye. Good production values would have seen to it that this wouldn't happen.
    When I see 'Love/Hate on RTE One Love-in' in the thread title I will feel compelled to stop giving my opinion of a significant Irish production. That ok with you?

    Same queation as rainy day, why on earth do you keep watching if you don't like it? I dont like eastenders or coronation street bit I dont feel the need to try and wind up those that do.

    Perhaps you could name a few TV shows you do like?

    And same from me as well. It reallys seems to annoy you, why do you bother watching and then posting?

    I'm enjoying it, did a marathon of S1&2 last week and think S3 is great, it's really got into its stride. It's littered with inconsistencies and continuity errors (and I wouldn't be the sharpest tool in the box for spotting these things I'll be the first to admit) but overall it's great and even challenging viewing. IMO, naturally.

    +1
    really why bother is the question? If something is so below you and you clearly don't enjoy it why watch it at all, pîssing and moaning about the writing in this thread constantly. Honestly don't get this with some people, watch something you obviously don't appreciate or enjoy just to contribute forum page after page of píssing and moaning.

    Suggestion: Go buy yourself a book (maybe an author who meets your high standards) read it, and leave the rest of us dimwits who are easily sold on Love/Hate's sub standard dialogue to just enjoy it for what it is...pure entertainment!

    While it was not as good as the opening epsoide last week , I still found this week very good and cannot wait for next week already.

    At the time I didnt find it hard to watch and even with the shooting scene I was glued to the TV but when I went to bed it had a really hard time getting to sleep over it.

    Also I never ever notice all this nitpicking stuff like different reg's on Nidge's jeep last week and Elmo's bite on a different cheek this week , do I just not pay enough attention?!

    well - it should be pretty obvious to you by now that this is more of a fan thread than a critical discussion. It's pretty obvious to me that you don't rate the show - that's grand - I enjoy it myself, but i understand where you're coming from. What I don't understand tho, is why you feel the need to make the same single point over and over again - it's sh1t - when it's clear all you're doing is winding up the natives. Unless that's your intention like. I can appreciate that you're a bit sore at the way the RA were represented, but we've really moved past that now.

    If all you're going to do is point out plot holes and continuity errors (which we all see and acknowledge, btw, we're not blind to them, we just chose to ignore them), then maybe start another thread?

    tl/dr - you're entitled to keep posting how sh1te you think the show is, but why would you bother?

    Fair play, tbh. I watched it, was not sufficiently impressed to watch again, but don't feel the need to convert the followers. Don't understand why anyone would waste their efforts thusly.

    I suggest you open a fan page (correctly titled) out in After Hours. This is a television forum and a discussion on the merits (which I have appreciated) and failings of this series. A series that is being marketed as a significant and landmark production for the national broadcaster. I'm as entitled as you to give my opinion on it.
    Rather than deal with the issues raised I notice many are having a go at me, which speaks volumes in itself.
    There are a lot of good things in this but it is flawed, unfiltered fandom won't make anything better, and there is a growing sense that this series has relaxed comfortably into the arms of it's diehard fans and has consequently stopped breaking new ground, which is sad.
