The Body Farm: Episode 2

Hmmm …

You know, I’ve got to confess, I’ve got episode 2 of The Body Farm on, at the moment.

On the dvd I used to tape it, last night, I should add.

And … ?

I’ve got to confess, I’m actually warming to it, somewhat, on the second viewing.

I’m personally thinking that’s bad.

Remember, I’m a science fiction fan.

So I usually prefer a slightly different type of tale.

One that usually doesn’t have’t work that hard to impress me: as Grub will probably tell you … !

But Episode 2 of The Body Farm?

Episode 2 sees the team dealing with the fact that they seem to have found a lost hand.

A lost hand belong to a body of a dead heroin addict found — buried in compost — on the estate of a wealthy — and eccentric — business.

Dodgy dealing’s all ’round, I think.

Hmmm …

Now …

I’m going to be frank, here, if I may.

I said, earlier, that I was warming to the episode, after watching it a second time … ?

I’m …

I’m not sure that that’s a good thing.

OK, granted I’m more a science fiction and fantasy fan: and one who thinks trying to vary his taste is a good thing.

But that first viewing, last night?

I’m not sure I could tell you WHY — although possibly it’s simply the show’s slow pace, and a few too many flashbacks for my comfort — but on it’s initial run through, I have to admit, I found myself losing interest, about half way through: vaguely thinking that the show’s producer’s could’ve maybe shaved a few minutes off.

Whether my attention’s held for longer, next week … ?

I’ll let you know.

Post a Comment

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

Thank you.
