I Am A Swede

Why are these two seemingly intelligent women continuing to do this to themselves? It makes both of them look absolutely pathetic. And Ridge comes off like a disgusting pig. I have to wonder if Brad Bell actually thinks this is good writing? If he does he's completely delusional and should seriously consider seeking some professional help.

Breathtakingly beautiful Iceland 😍

In the latest episode I watched (episode 106), there was a more than 6 minutes long, uninterrupted scene between Reverend Ruskin and the bishop about faith and belief and the loss of it. Absolutely amazing. You would never get such a long scene between two characters just talking nowadays. Especially talking about a subject like that.

And so, exactly one year after the first episode, October 16th 1973, in episode 104, Jack Sugden leaves Beckindale again. Just like Marian's departure I expect this to alter the dynamics of the show a bit, even though Jack's presence has diminished lately.

No, no, no. No disrespect to Jamie Lee Curtis, but she is completely wrong for this.

No! Absolutely not! 😱 She's even more wrong for the role than Rebecca Budig.

Finally completed the first 100 episodes of Emmerdale Farm. We're into October 1973, so roughly a year's worth of episodes. I think we're approaching Jack's departure now, and quite frankly the character feels a little out of place. He worked well in the beginning as the outsider but now he just feels slightly detached. He's part of the family, yet apart from it. So his absence will probably not be very noticeable. I'm waiting for the moment when Henry moves into the Woolpack and begins his partnership with Amos. It should happen in the near future. That was an inspired idea, and changed the dynamics of the show. It also gave Henry a more stable footing in the village.
