- Sarah's death
Remember a few months ago and there was that WHOLE death by table phase? Well poor cat arse mouthed Sarah O'Leary was one of those unlucky few, or not so few as Fair City would have it.
The whole murder was dealt with in true Fair City style - hilariously and unbelievably.
And what made it so hilarious?
- The fact that the bag Denzo Bishop threw away caused scutter to back up the WHOLE of the street. That's funny - the fact that the handi-capable bastard didn't even THINK the two were connected - FC hilarious. Big props to Barry and Denzo for the Mission Impossible style BAMBOOZLING of the Dublin Co. Council in order to retrieve the bag. Nice one lads. (Try to not get the Mission Impossible music in your head now)
- The fight scene with Decco Bishop, that 'skanger' who tried to shoot him and Barry. I mean WOWZA. I seriously stared at the screen in utter amazement at this one. (Partly because the episode in itself didn't suck - I liked it in an entertainment way, NOT just a ha ha ha hilarious Fair City way) WHY would Barry throw himself in front of a gun aimed at Decco? Fuck knows. I guess it's a mix between kinda wanting to die what with all the killing of a close friend. And possibly a LOT to do with trying to impress Vivienne to get a go at her roomy, gyppo producing pink sink again. Even though he already had full use of aforementioned sink......
- Sarah's whorish mother flapping her middle aged flaps around. Yup - Sarah's mother is a big ol' whore. First she tried Barry. No joy. Then she tried Bob. JACKPOT. Lots of middle-aged canoodling, shifting and riding. The odd need for a tissue......... And then she might gieve for a moment, or not. Depends.
- The ridiculous funeral in the park. Or 'memorial'.
- Barry's incarceration
The words 'You can't handle the truth' were ALMOST uttered during the interrogation of Barry. It was just SO American/CSI/good cop bad cop. Also, WHY was Inspector Deegan SO sure that Barry didn't move the body alone? Cause Denzo moved it alone. And even though Denzy DID go on that run with Mark - I don't see him as strong man of the year. Not that I want to point out a hole in the whole story like...
During the filming of the jail scenes, well if there wasn't just the BEST camera work in the world! I have never previously felt the need to see up Vivienne's flared nostril - but I am SO glad I got to! I think maybe the camera angles were meant to reinforce her anger, anguish etc. All the reinforcing that was needed was on her chair. Camera close ups, slow panning. It was cinamatography at its best.
Was Barry sorry about murdering Sarah? Eh, ah.... Not quite. He was more bothered that people now thought badly of him. He wanted everyone to understand that it was an accident. Yup - I mean I'm forever waking up in the Dublin/Wicklow mountains in a shallow grave thinking gosh darn it - it happened again Oh ha ha ha. Accidents happen!!!!
- Carol/Louis/Christy/Jack
Carol was riding Louis and Christy at the same time. Carol found out she was pregnant. Your basic whodunnit of spunk and ovaries. Well, it turns out Louis done it. Rendering the whole story line reduntant. Unless you call 'Oh there for a second I thought something, no wait, it's grand, sorted now' story lines interesting. People complain that soaps aren't like real life - it's kinda the point. You want to watch parents get their kids ready for school? You want to watch old ladies blow their nose? Nope - you watch soaps cause SOMETHING happens. And the Carol and Louis story line seemed as though was going one place - Christy being the baby daddy. Surely, this was the only reason they were continuing on with this particular love triangle after flogging it already for so many months? Nope. Fair City likes to dick with you sometimes.
- Jo/Dermotschhh/Tommy/Judith
Jo and Tommy are on and off each other like a seesaw. However, after the Ploughing Championships it's looking like the end of the road for these star crossed lovers. Because Jo found out Tommy had done the dirt on Judith before. To be fair Jo - your bucking a man who, although married for 20 odd years, was MAD to wear you as a scarf. Does that not tell you anything about him? Also, to make things far more interesting - the woman in question was none other than Harry Molloy's old vag on the side! The one with the mole from the Barry's tea add! Love when FC feign consistency. Consistency would be more like making Charley speak in ONE accent - not two. Consistency is NOT bring back an actress as a serial mistress. Although I truly am looking forward to her return. I see great craic ahead. Also, I'm hoping that if Judith gets 8% more surprised her little goggly eyeballs will just POP - straight out.
- Rachel
You are a gimp. I know this is just a child. I don't care. She makes my blood boil and my eyeballs bleed. Her over acting makes me vomit. Her over acting which really just involves throwing in the odd skanger accented word in with her Billy Barry Kid whiney D4 voice. Oh, and by furrowing her brow. Nothing says thoughtful, emotional yet mature teenager more than a furrowed brow.
Fuck off Rachel.
