Hotel Cæsar

[MKA]

I think it should be translated in this link: http://translate.google.no/translate?sl=no&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=no&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Flovehotelcaesar.blogg.no%2F&act=url But it is not a 100 % good translation, it is Google Translate and thus it is "machine translation".

New promo for the season opening!

This looks just incredibly good! I am very excited about the new season after having seen the promo!

PS! I have made sure that the video has English subtitles, just push the CC button to the right below the video and choose "English" :-)

Thanks so much.

Tonight, Hotel Cæsar is back after the summer break. I'm really excited! :-)

Some clips from the first week of Hotel Cæsar after the summer break:

No English subs, unfortunately. But: I love what I see! I still look very much forward to this season of Hotel Cæsar!

Who was the woman with the cap and huge earrings, and what was that proposal about?

It's nice they are still keeping on with the Mane story.

[MKA]

Sorry I have not answered you earlier!

I assume you are referring to Runa? In 0:31 to 0:37?

As you can see Monica asks Arnfinn to marry her, but he just says "no" and shakes his head. I do not get as much out of it yet, it just seems a bit ... weird. It may have something to do with the fact that I suspect Arnfinn might start a romance with Julie (Juni's "half sister"* who returned to the series last week, played by Elin Sogn).

*Juni and Julie is actuallly not related: They have neither common father or mother any more (after all the "I'm your father/mother"-storylines...)

The video in better quality (as shown during TV 2's 20th anniversary show):

Thanks.

So what do you think of the Mane story, his closet status, Stellan dumping him and leaving town, his grandmother suddenly being a homophobe, etc. Some are upset about this.

[MKA]

Well, they could have gotten up the speed slightly... I do hope he comes out soon. But to be honest, Måne's story is not the story I like best and are most engaged in at the moment. It might become better eventually, of course. Otherwise I do not think Juni is homophobic in reality. And Stellan, well, I can not say I was a huge fan of him. He was quite ok, but I do hope Måne gets a better boyfriend in the future.

What do you think of Måne's story?

[DRW50]

I would agree with those who think he was too young to be put into a big business storyline where he has to sleep with this "cougar" woman and all the rest. It seems somewhat out of his age range.

How is Jens August related to him again? (Jens still looks very hot, they should have made him bi)

[MKA]

The reason Måne was put in to a "big business storyline" was that, after all, Måne is an Anker-Hansen, and hence it is needed to include him in the company somehow sometime. Since they have enough other teenages to deal with the "teenage storylines", I think they decided to foundate Måne as a business character almost from the start. As a guy put it on a Cæsar forum: "It is quite obvious that they [the producers] are trying to avoid to make some of the mistakes they made with Goggen with Måne as well. Some of the problem with Goggen were that his dramas almost exclusively was sticky love dramas with Runa, Hermine and Vanessa, which they [the producers] apparently did not realize until his last half of the series, and then it was already too late. Already, Måne has a far greater potential than Goggen ever had."

Jens August is Juni's half-brother (none of the Juni/Jens August/Julie Anker-Hansen generation are completely in family...), so Jens August is Måne's...ehm, well...something.

Here are Bea and Pelle's wedding (in Norwegian only, unfortunately). I think the "cross-cutting" in the middle (from approx. 3:30 to approx. 5:32) is very good! Love it

It's getting closer to the big season finale! It's on at Thursday, I almost can't wait... Here are the two promos for this week of Hotel Cæsar - with English subs made by myself!

The story about the hotel being purchased by an unknown person was shown already in the August promo (for the season opening), so I've kind of been waiting for it all autumn. Nevertheless, I'm still very excited about it, and I'm really looking forward to the spring season. I think it's going to be amazing, especially since the episodes of the new showrunner Arne Berggren coming aproximately in January.

[DRW50]

Thanks. What are the other stories?

Do you know anything about Berggren?
