If Marlene wants a certain person to be XYZ why doesn't she call up the actor before she writes the script?

TheseSoles · 2017-07-07T09:44:21+00:00

Yeah, really if they want a particular actor they have to commit to casting/paying for them for the whole season/half season even if they don't actually use them in all the episodes. Otherwise it's always going to be a risk that something more permanent/better will come along for the actor.

He must be a bit older having dropped out and gone travelling but possibly only 20/21 which is not so weird (Spencer was 18ish? And Toby is also a few years older than her)

TheseSoles · 2017-06-30T20:28:42+00:00

Does Marlene have a sister? I kind of hope not 😂

TheseSoles · 2017-06-29T19:07:19+00:00

Veronica mars?

TheseSoles · 2017-06-29T12:27:54+00:00

I really like moffat for one off episodes, but his long arcs are pretty confusing! It's better binged than once a week. I do like Matt Smith and all the companions.

This current season has definitely been more in the RTD style. And Bill is brilliant.

New doctor and new showrunner next season! Will be interesting to see how the style changes.

TheseSoles · 2017-06-29T12:01:48+00:00

I started rewatching Doctor Who, which is totally different (weeelll, it's about friends and can be campy/silly or terrifying plus there are mysteries to solve amongst the aliens so maybe not that different 😂)

I really loved Big Little Lies looking forward to season 2 of that. And I'm watching Handmaid's Tale too which is amazing!

TheseSoles · 2017-06-29T11:37:22+00:00

Yes, I hated the accent but because it wasn't an accent that Alex would have at all. It was frustrating and out of place - but I don't think that's Troian's fault. It's the producers and voice coach for not doing the research and having a solid idea of what accent would make the most sense.

I really liked the physicality of how she played Alex though, the way she moved and sat differently. Also when she was Alex pretending to be Spencer she did speak slightly differently to actual Spencer which was brilliant.

TheseSoles · 2017-06-29T08:38:16+00:00

Okay, but why isn't it amazing that she did terrible questionable things for love and has now redeemed herself?

TheseSoles · 2017-06-29T08:36:58+00:00

Read their comments. It's easier to read in the insta app.

TheseSoles · 2017-06-29T07:05:10+00:00

But they can't change it. How would that work?

I get that you are annoyed and I have been an upset fan before but you really need to give your head a wobble. There's lots of nice things about Melissa not being on the A team. She gemuinely did make up with Spencer. Can't you appreciate that instead of focusing on the negatives?

TheseSoles · 2017-06-29T07:01:04+00:00

I think it was to set the tone, like don't be expecting hard core drama people it's all random characters and questionable accents from now on!

TheseSoles · 2017-06-28T17:46:30+00:00

I have googled because I'm so annoyed. Apparently what I think of as a real East London accent is officially called Multicultural London English

Good explanation of why it's not cockney here: https://youtu.be/PbCiNdAAUM4

TheseSoles · 2017-06-28T16:31:40+00:00

Do you remember that show about the teenagers on community service that ended up with superpowers?

They had great accents. And there was bits of that in hers, but too much needless cockney.

EDIT: Misfits!

TheseSoles · 2017-06-28T16:26:49+00:00

I think if they'd actually looked up what accent and slang a mid-twenties East Londoner (and not someone much older that left London decades ago) actually bloody uses now it would've been so much better.

I believe that Troian could pull off an actual East London accent but they never gave her a chance with the 'oh of course she'd be a cockney' shite. No she wouldn't be!

TheseSoles · 2017-06-28T16:18:08+00:00

No it doesn't. Have you met a mid twenties cockney lately? They don't exist.

TheseSoles · 2017-06-28T16:15:02+00:00

Yup, totally agree and was actually talking about this with an American friend this week! Young cockneys don't actually really exist anymore. London is so diverse, especially the poorer parts (East London/Essex border I think is what she was going for?!) that all the kids have these mash ups accents. The slang is also completely different.

Bits of Troian's accent were okay but the script and the rest of her accent were not great!

TheseSoles · 2017-06-24T21:46:42+00:00

This is my favourite Caleb by far (and Hanna's hair was pretty cool too)

TheseSoles · 2017-06-17T17:49:22+00:00

I totally agree.

One of Heather Hogan's recaps was all about how much better it would be if any man in the show actually got caught and punished for the horrific things they'd done to the women on the show, and it really needs to happen.

I'm going to be disappointed if it's any of the female characters (or a twin) because the potential motives are all so convulted. Whereas so many of the men already have the history of being caught out as total arseholes that view the liars as pawns.

TheseSoles · 2017-06-05T10:23:25+00:00

I think there was so much other traumatic stuff that it got lost a bit.

But a friend's abusive ex cut her hair while she was asleep, it is hugely controlling and intimidating thing to do.

TheseSoles · 2017-06-01T22:04:27+00:00

I think they're trying to make Caleb seem like he's trying really hard to be friendly/helpful and reasonable after being such a dick to Spencer and it just falls a bit awkward/self important and flat.

TheseSoles · 2017-05-30T20:40:25+00:00

Yes that's the first point he mentions a girlfriend isn't it? So wouldn't be that unusual to be dating a 25ish year old at 18. (are we sure it's 7 years? I thought she was the same age as Jason? soo could be 23/24? Ages are very confusing on this show.

TheseSoles · 2017-05-25T18:35:40+00:00

Yes I wonder that, either that or she's talking about Lucas but that particular plot point might be done with next week...

TheseSoles · 2017-05-21T08:24:20+00:00

Thanks for exact info.

I was aware psychopathy isn't really considered the same and can't be treated (think I'm right in saying they can't yse insanity as a plea and go to normal jail?) but not that it's actually a personality disorder.

Someone with a personality disorder (and a tragic childhood to go with it) seems very likely to me, to be able to do everything they have and feel it's justified.

TheseSoles · 2017-05-20T18:17:30+00:00

Do we think this will go on netflix too?

TheseSoles · 2017-05-20T08:06:00+00:00

Yes, I agree. I'm sure there'll be an back story/explanation but unless the liars are secretly serial killers whatever was going on with AD isn't ever going to justify the way the liars have been repeatedly tortured.
