The Bridge/Broen/Bron 2 (the 'Saga' continues)

You fucking useless shower of shit don't any of you pay attention..fucking implant guy and Audi guy ffs

Tagged Audi guy...Julian Madsen (brother of Mathilde)

Implant presents guy...Alexander

Caroline...Alexanders wife, Bodils sister

Daughter/Julian's receptionist...Laura

The car at the stadium was silver (merc I think), but Alexander arrived home in a black BMW

It's all tied up with the EU summit that Martin was arranging security for, Boris(?) was poisoned so that Caroline had to find a new keynote speaker, Mathilde & Julian's dad is obviously loaded (possibly something to do with the ship owner), one has gone into business on the back of it but both have that champagne socialist dogma as a result of a nice safe upbringing

thepuffpastryhangman

The one you call Laura (consenting adult teacher fling 1500 for some shoes  'girl'), her father, the one who it was necessary to show didn't mind that they were going to take his computer away after the one you call Julian had used it as Stressed Out Dad (or whatever his name is) he isn't connected to the other characters in any way besides being Laura's father?

Fuck it, what I am saying? I've got a recording of it, I'm going to look. Seems weird doing it on a sunny Monday morning. Thanks for the character run down. I realise it's like losing track of the characters in Little Red Riding Hood.

You mean "the car at the stadium" you could see with its lights on behind whoever was leaning over dead Julian.

Jakob - I know his name - will he last the series?

Jim_MacLaine

Really enjoying this. Superb stuff.

I only watched it once and there does seem something fishy about him lying about his plane's arrival time, but the 'boob buyer' looks much taller than the killer of Julian Madsen.

The car flashing it's lights was just a coincidence that took Laura's attention wasn't it.

Do we know Julian is actually dead?, I think Alexander was simply avoiding having to shag the wife.

kinda skimming this coz I'm gonna blast through the 2nd series of the original version when they've all aired on the BBC (so I can find good downloads). I'm watching the US version in the meantime. I'm just about to finish it tonight, only because I've started so I might as well. It's dogshite. So Americanized. Montages and music sequences, bad violence, Milquetoast sex scenes, 2 dimensional characters. . Anyone else persevered with it?

Spoilers: They basically tie up the Scandinavian story with 2 episodes to go, then seemingly fanny about with shite side-plots and rubbish characters to entice you into series 2 (which won't work). Dogshit.

Can someone please draw me a diagram of how all these characters are linked and how they relate to the central plot?

Patience.

The show has dipped with that last episode. Penis jokes, masturbation. pah. rubbish.

Jim_MacLaine

Thanks BBC for showing 2 episodes at a time. Just about sates my appetite each week.

So is cancer woman the Mistress Big behind it all I wonder.

Also enjoying the ongoing Martin/Jens relationship.

I believe it is the sister that is Mistress Big.

Nah! We got to see Saga kicking arse. It was an excellent episode.

Record for most swiftly-resolved cliffhanger ever?

Johnny Yesno

True. I was glad I didn't have to wait a week for it to be resolved.

In a couple of weeks you'll look back at these two episodes and realise how much you missed.

Cleaners From Venus

Another couple of cracking episodes there.

Bashing one out to footage of your naked sister, whilst looking suspiciously like Michael Gove, is, I must admit, a plot point I didn't see on the horizon.

Just a week to go and it'll all be over for another year. :-(

Fuckin ell'. If there was a series that's going to reward re-watching almost immediately it's this one.

Oh, any initial thoughts on that spamer thingy trailer that showed after, could it be the next The Killing...or the next Montalbano?

BlodwynPig

Two great moments in that last episode:

1. The aforementioned wanking to your sister in the bath
2. SWAT team surprise Lithuanian delegate naked at his laptop. The image was literally 0.5 seconds, but it was the funniest moment in TV this year.

BlodwynPig

I saw this on iplayer, what was the spamer trailer?

QuoteEveryone has secrets. But these can bring down a nation. In a private Brussels bank, 66 safe-deposit boxes are raided. The owner of the bank wants to keep the thefts under wraps but police inspector Paul Gerardi catches wind of the affair. With his incorruptible, old-school morals and devil-may-care attitude, Gerardi throws himself into the investigation, and when some of the key players are murdered, commit suicide or vanish, soon realises just how big the case is

Perving on the sister and getting busted in your pants are all well and good but Saga's remark while discussing mother in laws "they didn't like you because you were cheating on their daughters" takes some beating.

Yes, there was a bit I had to re-watch almost immediately.

Especially when they end up doing it proper. Funnily enough, seeing that coming a mile off didn't ruin it in the slightest.

I liked that 'Roger. No Roger' argument, which was subtly settled with Martin giving Saga a 'Ner!' look when they interviewed the guy.

There's a Kim Bodnia and Sofia Helin interview on BBC Breakfast sometime after we've caught up with all the local news where you are.

Heh! Kim's taking up too much room on the sofa. Nice try. Much appreciated.

I feel like every emotion in my head and heart have just been kicked to death. Bloody hell.

BlodwynPig

Boom! That was a kick in the teeth wasn't it. Fucking hell. 2 hours of increasing bleakness, sadness and despair, but nicely done :)

Brilliant.

She did her job. He killed a man, he stole evidence and killed a man with it. I did get annoyed with her saying "oooh, while you are in there, could you just check all the vents", while knowing the ventilation system was already off. Gah, you fuck.

There's still too many loose ends left hanging though, rather than concluding the second season it seemed to veer into a prologue for the third
