I hadn't gone there with the Hathaway scenes, now I may never get that idea out of my head, LOL! ;) <br /><br />I think my view of the scenes may change upon multiple viewings. I have a shocking hole in my DVD collection - NO Inspector Lewis discs! And since last summer when series 2 aired, I changed cable providers and got rid of my DVR, so I'm writing my reviews based on first impression memories only. I thought the Hathaway scenes were cute, but my view may change once I add Lewis DVDs to my collection (and since Amazon is currently selling series 3 preorders for $19.99, I think I will have to take advantage of that!).<br /><br />I definitely agree with you, though, that the shows strongest episodes are the ones with the darker storylines. I really appreciate the contrast between the serene Oxford setting and the dark doings that Lewis and Hathaway must figure out!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986319237275869540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-67825236933912833172010-09-29T16:26:13.695-07:002010-09-29T16:26:13.695-07:00Ruth - for once we are in disagreement about the n...Ruth - for once we are in disagreement about the new direction of Hathaway's over interest in his bosses romance. Ease dropping on his phone conversations and needling him for details of his date with Laura? This is outside of enough. I thought it totally out of character. Hey, don't turn Mr. Darcy into Mr. Bingley and not expect his fans to be miffed.<br /><br />Otherwise, I think this series is more successful with plots that are darker. This was almost a parody of an Agatha Christie country house murder, which is fine, but they played it for humor instead of drama with a few humorous moments. Not my favorite episode, and I will always remember it as the one that they made Hathaway into a busy body. Ugh.<br /><br />I appreciate your insights though. You always see something I do not and that is great. <br /><br />Cheers, Laurel AnnLaurel Ann (Austenprose)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07569869772159241024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-33636174927111787702010-09-25T08:25:51.109-07:002010-09-25T08:25:51.109-07:00@kathy - The guy lawyer.

Really poorly done IMO. The best part of the show was any scene involving Hathaway. I liked the contained element of the quiz show weekend setup, but the principle of the quiz show...well if I think about that too long it does become a bit lame... ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986319237275869540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-25122603772798146852010-09-24T17:38:46.734-07:002010-09-24T17:38:46.734-07:00Yuck, Billie Piper?

ANYway, ...Yuck, Billie Piper? She's annoying.<br /><br />ANYway, I totally agree with you about the Lewis & Dr. Hobson date--it was a let-down. And honestly, what guy worth his salt goes to an opera with a woman and then agrees to separate rooms? This seemed way out of character. If Lewis ever agreed to an opera, I would expect him to do it only kicking and screaming and whining about it the entire time.<br /><br />I have to say, this wasn't my favorite episode of the season. It's hard to take the quiz thing seriously, I can't lie!Heidenkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09494625457587427781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-32676252195102543872010-09-24T15:36:58.962-07:002010-09-24T15:36:58.962-07:00@Deborah - I remember being kind of surprised when...@Deborah - I remember being kind of surprised when I first heard they hooked up...but they've been married 2 or 3 years now (I think) and I just learned they had a kid like a year ago!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986319237275869540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-56356107310323783072010-09-24T15:21:48.716-07:002010-09-24T15:21:48.716-07:00whoa, how did i miss that Hathaway was married to ...whoa, how did i miss that Hathaway was married to Billie Piper? you learn something new every dayDeborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147790818681999121noreply@blogger.com
