Inspector Lynley: Well…

August 18, 2008

…there was drunken comfort sex. It just wasn’t between Lynley and Havers. So I wasn’t terribly displeased when the drunken, comforted young lady whom Lynley had just boinked went out the window. That’s what you get for coming between the leads, baby. But next week: Honeysuckle Weeks! If her character gets busy with Lynley, I may decide not to defenestrate her.

(Incidentally, I read an interview with Nathaniel Parker on the official PBS site in which he fairly well denies any possibility of an L/H hookup in the finale. DAMMIT. I want them to go out with a bang… or two, or three, or four, or…

(Even more incidentally, has anyone else noticed the similarities between Lynley/Havers and Goren/Eames?… Just me? Okay then.)

Stupid, Stupid Forgetfulness

August 16, 2008

I keep forgetting to watch the new Inspector Lynley series on Masterpiece ~~Theatre~~; normally I’d catch it on Fridays if I missed the Sunday showing, but I am an idiot and forget to leave myself notes, so… no nummy Nathaniel for me. Which sucks, because I did catch a promo that centered around his wife’s death, which is TOTAL WIN, because now he is free to have drunken comfort sex with Havers. That prospect is the only reason I still watch what is otherwise merely another police procedural drama. Well, that and Nathaniel Parker. He can investigate me any day, if you know what I mean. And my husband won’t mind me saying that, because he thought Parker was hilarious in Bleak House.

But anyway. Tomorrow I am watching it, come hell or high water. Or even L/H drunken comfort sex—PLEASE GOD LET THERE BE DRUNKEN COMFORT SEX.
