Oh, Law & Order: UK.

[lizbee]

I ship James/Alesha so hard it's a bit stupid.   

Like, it's in the background, but you get a glimpse of the look she gives him when he says he's a member of the Royal & Colonial Club, and you just know she's going to tease him about that forever.

Also, dialogue of win:

Dude: "Excuse me, sir, but the club is only open to members."
James: "I am a member."
Dude: "Then sir will be aware of our policies regarding-" *eyedarts at Alesha*
Alesha: "Blacks?"
Dude: "Girls."
Alesha: "I think you mean women."

Oh yeah, and there was a plot, too.  Which was nice.  I blame Law & Order: UK for my current desire to read crime novels and true crime.  And I'm finally able to look at Matt Devlin without seeing Apollo, which is a great relief.



"Paradise" caps have been added to freema.mirrordance.net.  I can't believe next week is the last episode until September!  And it's titled "Alesha", which is ... ominous.  Freema's been seen filming right up to the end, but ... *frets*

Heh.

I liked that bit.

Is it just me, or did he look pleased when she said, "What boyfriend?"

[lizbee.livejournal.com]

He did! He so did! He's probably existing in an awkward state of repressed man pain, as he tries to decide whether or not it's appropriate just how inappropriate it would be to ask her out. If he dithers for much longer, Alesha will probably jump him on his own leather couch.

He did! He so did!

LOL

It came from inside too! Like, all his facial lines did a happy inward dance. LOL. Though, it doesn't say much that he didn't notice.

I think there are times when he looks at her like she's a shining star.

Alesha...Alesha is love. Is it wrong that I rewind to the bit of ep 4 where she talks about the first time she had wine when Thatcher left?

[lizbee.livejournal.com]

No, when I making screencaps, I went through that scene three times. Is it wrong that I kind of want to erase Martha from DW, and slip Alesha into the Freema-shaped gap?

[skywardprodigal.livejournal.com]

No.

Martha wasn't well written. Freema did what she could, but Martha's a bit wet compared to Alesha.

Oh blast, it's already almost over? Too soon! I need more Lawyer!Freema in my life.

Apparently the first season has been split, BSG style. Liz Does Not Approve.

[jigglykat.livejournal.com]

I just hope it's not a year between the two parts! All I seem to be doing now is waiting for something to start, and then BLIP, it's over already and we're back to waiting.

No, it's supposed to resume in September.

[marymac.livejournal.com]

Its the annual attack of reality TV, sadly.

*stabs TV companies*

I ODed on American Law and Order ages ago, but...*tempted*

Alesha: "I think you mean women."

Oh, how I chuckled at that. Freema's delivery of that line was too perfect.

[usuallyhats]

Alesha: "I think you mean women."

That was the best moment in... possibly the whole series so far. Alesha is brilliant.

I've only seen up to episode three. I really need to catch up.

[morgeil.livejournal.com]

I can't believe they're splitting the season! I started really getting into it and then I hear ep seven is the last until September or so. Argh.

Who wants to bet we're probably going to see Slade again before episode thirteen...?

Okay, I can't even believe I'm suggesting this (because I'm neglecting enough comms already) but has anyone put any thought into a LO:UK newsletter?

[lizbee.livejournal.com]

Oooh. There's an idea. Only I'm neglecting a bunch of comms myself. *ponders*

That whole bit walking by the riverside was totally made of win. :)
