girlofpreyOh, television did things tonight.
Oh my God, John Stape. I get the feeling I say this a lot and it's getting boring now, BUT I HATE HIM. I HATE HIM. People can't argue that at least he loves Fiz now, can they? Apparently he loves Hope, but all I can think is that that's because she's not old enough to argue with him and do something he doesn't like. I HATE HIM.
But in contrast, how beautiful is Fiz? I mean, I've not understand her putting up with John, or being interested in him in anyway for a few months. And I'm feeling pretty bad for her at the moment. But sort of aside from that, she's been around all week with scrunched back hair and a blue shirt and just being sort of STUNNING. I hope she gets away from John soon. And doesn't go to jail for fraud. I hope I hope I hope.
And Becky and Steve. Oh God Becky and Steve. A soap magazine said that it was David who called social services about Max. Maybe he says something later in the week. But oh God, that it's Steve. And I understand him wanting to keep hold of his daughter, and wanting her to not have to live with Tracy all the time (who would deserve such a fate?), and hoping that things will be alright. And being drunk and everything. And I know Becky maybe hasn't been as sympathetic as she could have been about losing Amy so they could keep Max. I don't know actually, she's been pretty good this week. But just, being more stuck on the plan of keeping everything a secret and keeping Max than worrying about Amy HAVING TO LIVE WITH TRACY. But oh God. Like social services are ever just going to think that what they did was fine. Like Becky's ever going to be able to get over it. Or like she's ever going to be able to forgive him. I get the feeling, from the fact they're having a week of late-night episodes and the adverts, that this isn't going to be a great week for either Becky or Fiz. Oh god.
And then there was Scott and Bailey. I really enjoyed that first episode, actually. My dad was all judgy on the fact that Bailey 'just realised' that the flowers came from a service station, and from THAT service station (I think). Whatever, dad. But I really enjoyed it. They seemed to look more at Scott and Bailey's separate personal lives than their relationship with each other, which I thought was a bit of a shame. But they have got the rest of the series to do that. But I quite liked it as an opener. And I really liked Suranne Jones, as Rachel Bailey. Plus, Lestrade was in it! Plus, their boss is Joyce Hazeldeane from Suburban Shootout! Hurrah. I have a lot of affection for Suburban Shootout alumni, even now. So yeah. I liked it.
There's other TV I've been watching. PSYCHOVILLE IS BACK. It has been back for about three weeks now, it's more than halfway over I think. But it makes me really happy. Especially when Mr Jelly's in it. And really loves that old woman. And David and his mum are in it. Any of them could die any episode now. But at the moment they're not dead, and they're making me quite happy.
I can't think of anything else now. Mostly I'm all caught up with Hollyoaks now and watching it most days, and reading welovehollyoaks.com and loving Brendan Brady. And Seth Costello. And Ste Hay. And Jacqui. And Theresa, sort of. And Mitzeee. Well, lots of people really. Hollyoaks is still quite shit, in many ways, but I'm still quite enjoying it at the moment.
I have also been to the cinema twice in the past few weeks, after not going at all for nearly four months. I have a lot of thoughts about both films, but not really enough understanding of what I really mean to make big posts about them. I saw Attack The Block and really enjoyed it, I think in terms of race it wasn't perfect but it could have been a LOT worse. And I saw Blitz, which. Well. When I first heard about it, it sounded like a perfectly decent little chase/cat-and-mouse thriller with Jason Statham. And then I found out that Paddy Considine was in it as a gay cop, and I was pretty much sold. Then I found out that Stuart from Queer As Folk was in it, as the psycho, and apparently really good. So I was quite looking forward to it. But I didn't realise it was going to be such a massive celebration of police brutality as it was. I was expecting a different ending from the one we got, frankly. Paddy Considine was still pretty good in it, though, even though I sometimes felt like they had him dressed a bit oddly. And I really liked Zawe Ashton as a fellow police officer in it, who I've just found out from imdb was both Jessica from Misfits, and Sally Donovan from Sherlock. I didn't even realise they were played by the same person. I'm rubbish sometimes. But yeah, anyway. I saw both of them. And enjoyed them to varying degrees.
In other news, my terrible week last week didn't exactly go off without a hitch. There was a bit of family drama, which I may post about later. But I'm glad it's over, anyway. I'm looking forward to this week more than I was to last week. Although I still haven't heard from the DWP about my claim for Incapacity benefit. Gulp.
In other other news, apparently I'm going to Prague in three weeks. Eek.
