banana Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Noone get an itchy bumhole, not even in private. Noone quickwaddles home trying not to piss/shite their pants, nor does the front door key fumbling while bobbing around on the spot, nor let's out that massive groan of delight upon release.

nsr Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I hate the way cop shows (CSI in particular) in an hour-long episode spend 45-50 minutes building everything up with excruciating detail and then have everything frantically wrapped up at 100mph in the last 10 minutes, often leaving you just to try and guess certain unexplained plot points. Spread it out a bit and keep the pacing balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since you know that will happen, you know the half hour you've spent watching them investigating and interrogating Mr Ivan Obviousmotive and Miss Ima Decoy is totally pointless.

Jamaldo Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Similarly, some fucker we only met for three seconds near the start turns out 5 minutes from the end to be the culprit. And it will never be the first person to be brought in for questioning, or arrested. It will also never be the person that all the evidence points to it being.

Jupiter Jazz Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 If Columbo starts hanging about with you and pestering you to be his mate you know you're in the shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I hate it when there are say 4 people, are all sat around one side of the dinner table eating, and the other side of the table (the camera/audience side) is left completely empty.

forever_blue Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 And it will never be the first person to be brought in for questioning, or arrested.

Law in order is far better, sometimes it is the first person they get in but they still get off with it in the court scenes , great series always has you interested .

They'll bring in whoever the red herring suspect is halfway through the episode, then absolutely eviscerate them during the interview. Then it obviously turns out not to have been them all along. I'd like to see a scene at the end where the detectives are grovelling at their feet apologising and trying to avoid a lawsuit.

Any person they speak to (not even necessarily a suspect) who isn't instantly and 100% cooperative will get ripped to shreds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsr Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Just watched one of the proper old school episodes of Taggart, where the cops could smack the criminals around when they felt like it. Creepy stuff, probably the most disturbing episode I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superwellfan Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Every sneeze has to be significant. Nobody can just sneeze in a TV show without other characters raising concerns that said person might have a nasty cold coming on and that they should perhaps get to their bed.
