Bunny Munro Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Once again it was really poor. I thought the second episode of the season has been the best so far. For those saying one of Jack/Victor will die - they're doing a run of stage shows later in the year. Unless they've decided to do them in flashback I'd expect both men to survive.

All the characters in Shakespeares plays are dead. Some plays feature characters that have never really existed but yet somehow very succesful stage shows have been produced. Odd.

Салатные палочки Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 What's the bets then? Clansman explodes due to a gas leak during a party? Jack leaves for Canada after Victor dies? Victor leaves for South Africa after Jack Dies? Suicide pact? I would like something similar to the New Year episode when they were stuck in the lift, with them reminiscing about the old days but I don't think they have it in them to write something as good as that now. Couple of Still Game programmes on afterwards as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locky Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I don't think anyone with real significance will die tonight. I think it'll end with Jack and Victor going their separate ways and going abroad to see the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I P Knightley Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Jack & Victor go on a road trip in an old convertible. A few scrapes with cops and robbers as they make their way from Craiglang to Edinburgh before a spectactular finale involving somehow getting their car to drive up Salisbury Crags.

BM1874 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Ford and Greg (aka jack and victor) have always said they had an ending in mind, but at the last minute they changed it. So maybe that’s why the poster above thinks it was rushed and hurried, because, well, it was. was nice enough way to end, albeit a wee bit basic. one thing that annoyed me this season was the overuse of jack saying the wrong words (creator - curator as an example) fair enough once or twice as was the gag in previous series Bt seeemed to be at least 1 every episode. thats just me being picky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Ending spoiler alert: Whilst I was very close with my Thelma & Louise prediction (for 'Salisbury Crags', read 'Ben Lomond'; for 'old convertible', read 'walking'), it made me think of a kid doing his homework to write a story when his pals are out the back playing football: "blah, blah, blah..." (that's enough!) "and then they all died." Oh! And we'll show you Meena's face. I don't know what I've had done better but the choice of Dylan track was alright.

Meadows Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I thought the final episode was poor , should’ve been Winston in honeymoon and happy ever after with his new wife.

Guessing the sarcasm of the Nina Nesbitt reference flew right over your head (she was never ever predicted to be in it), but I guess being in New York that's expected of you (that and the utmost arseholery). The "only watched it because..." was a running thing of the thread but carry on being angry if it makes you happy. So long as Amy Mac was slated to be in it I was always going to watch it, I even watched the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony and her Mastermind episode just to see her . They saved her episode until the second last episode and I was always going to watch the finale to see how it all ends. But if it gives you a chance to lash out and project your angry wee-man Sy Parrish-esque arsehole-New-Yorker self then I'll let you continue . Please, do.

Aberdeen will probably get a good result today so you can fully project all of lifes problems onto us all later if you want. Anyways, back on topic before I was rudely interrupted, I rewatched the clip of the ending on Twitter and I suppose it had a more artistic thinking behind it than first thought. There will be fans who preferred them to pass away as they'd feel it to be a more fitting ending, other people will have preferred they survived and lived on. The fact they faded away means that there is sufficient to backing each concept. Those who preferred them to pass away can say the fading out is represetative of that therefore they must be dead, but those who preferred them to live on can say there was no death scene and no funeral, therefore no death.
