Dead Set - New E4 Series

[ZJ Penn]

A bit more of a building episode last night but I still enjoyed it, and tonight looks even better.

"You were told to stay in your houses. Don't you watch TV?"

[Baddar]

I missed the first two episodes so I VoD'd them earlier. Amazing stuff. I'll record the next one tonight. It's all very exciting stuff.

Anyone else think Davina is quite sexy as a zombie? ¬_¬

You going to wait and watch it all in one go? In hindsight, I wish I'd done that. Not much longer than a film when it's all added together.

Nah, I've caught up now. I watched the first two back to back earlier. Will record the next one tonight and watch it when I get home from work tomorrow. Will probably do the same for Thursday and Friday's too.

A tour of the house with Mr. Brooker

[Captain Kirk]

That one was much better it's actually kind of gutting knowing there is only two half-hour episodes left. Would love a long-running zombie series.

The producer was awesome tonight, scraping off the bones with his knife.

"I don't even know what that is..."

[Katsuya]

I so hope the annoying boyfriend guy did get shot, but I have a feeling we won't get that pleasure.

[Cactus Drags]

From the stuff I've since seen on YouTube, I take it it was Brooker who cleverly stuck in that opinion-piece on reality tv through the producer character tonight. Genius.

[TKz]

Latest episode was quality, loved the producer cutting through the bones.

I have to say, episode before last was great as well, favourite bit being with the two Police Officers.

Going to be sad to see the show end, as it's the only thing I'm really enjoying on TV at the moment.

From the stuff I've since seen on YouTube, I take it it was Brooker who cleverly stuck in that opinion-piece on reality tv through the producer character tonight. Genius.

The producer character is obviously the mouthpiece for Brooker's disdain for Big Brother, and at the same time an example of his disdain for the arrogant, selfish dicks who work behind the scenes.

[King Ellis]

I must say, I am very dissapointed that during the supermarket scenes no one lept out screaming "THIS IS MY STOOOOOORE!".

He's annoying, but I hope he wasn't shot. His character has been destined to meet up with Kelly again since the beginning, so for him to be popped off with a rifle before he gets there is stupid.

I won't mind it, however, if they meet/hug and one comes from behind (I hear you'd know all about that ¬_¬) and bites the back of his neck.

What's that even from? >_>

[Captain Kirk]

Dead Rising.

[Cactus Drags]

YOU FUCKING PIECES OF FUCKING CATTLE :@

Wonderful.

[King Ellis]

Yay! Space won!

[Cactus Drags]

I'm not sure how I feel about the ending. I mean, obviously, they were all gonna die, but it just seemed like "shit we've got no more ideas for set pieces, kill 'em off, quick!"

As a whole, it was pretty good, not DVD-purchase worthy, but a solid effort nonetheless. I can't help feeling it'd have done better as a feature-length show though, and apparently, Channel 4 agree since it's being shown as such tomorrow evening.

Given Brooker's previous work, I think it was inevitable that the outcome would involve some sort of commentary on the BB culture. It turned everyone on the outside into mindless zombies who all wanted to get into the house. Eventually everyone turns into one.

I'm not surprised it was a really bleak ending, though. I thought the producer might have survived in screwing everyone over, but I wasn't expecitng a happy ending.

Patrick was awesome again, though. "They pour insult over you like a bucket of cum."

Good series overall and its created a legend in Patrick.

Didn't really like the ending if I'm honest though.
