My favourite thing about this thread is the amount of people using 'clip' as a verb.

Eh, clip is both a verb and a noun.

I never said it wasn't.

I referred to people using it as a verb.

I'm confused here.

I see Tommy confiding in Nidge next week that he shagged Dano's wife so that if Dano asked who dropped him home Nidge could deny it was one of his lads. Then Nidge flips telling Tommy he is endangering the gang, then Tommy says Nidge is only angry cause he wanted a crack off her. Then the pipe work will begin.

Nidge will lose it with Tommy because he got in there no hassle and Nidge was trying to lay the ground work. Tommy's the good looking one with a full head of hair and Nidge has a bit or a bald thing going on. When Nidge destroys Tommy this will really piss Darren off and start to pull the gang apart. Is this when Fran steps up and makes his play??

Just An Opinion

Yea I think you could be on the money there, Darren is already on his last ounce of patience with Nidge so this on top of being messed about with his money??? Bloodbath!!

As for the post claiming nothing is happening? You lost me with that one

• Then they called Fran and took him up to Frans pad
• Then Fran dug a hole and they buried Git

Two people I don't miss out of it, Darrens old girlfriend and John Boy! Both as annoying as each other.

Ah John Boy was deadly, he's real loss to the show.

I don't think they used him as well as they could have though, he'd have been a great mastermind running the show if they got into a war with another gang. The way he just lost the head and got all paranoid and coked up was a bit of a waste.

I can't for the life of me remember what happened to Darren's sister at the end of the 2nd series. I know she was being stalked by the swan killer but what happened after? Where did she go? Could anyone help me out?

not yet

She left for dowton abbey

Oh id say Alot of the men are heartbroken by Mary's absence. The backstory is she isnt on speaking terms with Darren due to his involvement with the gang but that hasnt aired yet. Thats what Robert Sheehan was saying so id imagine it must be in his script

I think the writers wanted to show how despite this air of invincibility these guys create around themselves they are always vulnerable and none of them are invincible.

We seen it in real life with 'the Don' Eamon Dunne, Alan Ryan, Martin Cahill. All of these figures come across as such a huge threat to society and yet in blink of an eye they are gone only someone else is there to take their place

After watching s1 again there is a Gilligan vibe off John boy. Same with all the characters, they're nobody specific but based on so many real characters. Git was only in it for 30 mins and I saw at least 3 real life characters in him! Will nidge end up like Micka Kelly?

Seem to remember something about the writers having a problem with John Boy because Aidan Gillen wasn't going to be available due to his other acting jobs.

Nidge is toast in my opinion. Now that you say it his story is very similar to the Don who ordered a hit on his own boss and then managed to piss off so many people that in the conclusion of things he was on the end of a few rounds himself. I think the gang will overthrow him by the end of the series. I still go with the theory that maybe the writers are going with the angle of Dazzler rising to the top.

That was the whole point of series 2 wasnt it?

Far better and more authentic than a contrived war a la Crumlin/ Drimnagh

Couldn't see it. Daz only takes jobs when he has to, either the money is tight or in the first case outside the gym, because he borrowed the money off Johnboy. He is certainly no mastermind, just a pathetic easily led underling.
Elmo should have been waiting at his cousin's house and killed Daz in self defence when he kicked the door in.

My opinion is that the gang will turn on Nidge but by the end of the series it will be broke into factions. Darren will get with Siobhan and fall out with Tommy so it will be him and Elmo on one side with Tommy and Fran on the other. However, Elmo will eventually stab Darren in the back.
The RIRA are integral this series but wont feature next series. I can see Sean McGinley's character discovering that Dano has been using the drugs boat to ship in ammunition and Dano will be dealt with.

But the point is that Dazzler started off as a young lad who likes the idea of being in a gang, and then his brother gets shot, then he gets shot himself and then he has to do his first hit and as time goes on he gets more and more sucked in until he is a full blown gangster.
At the moment he only wants money here and there but as time goes on he'll want more and more. He never wanted to kill anyone but now he has killed 4 (6 if you count he helped in Git and Lukes death)

Frere Jacques

Point taken but the remorse at the last double killing would lead me to believe this would not happen. Saying that, they could have had him walking away from the whole thing plenty of times before.
Personally I hope him and Nidge get a nice send off like Joe Pesci in Casino.
