Hasn't long started: guess we'll have to wait and see how it comes out...

Funky ah, ok thank you.

I thought theyd established that towards the end @GraceMarks but I'm not fully concentrating

littlbrowndog · 08/01/2019 22:10

Storyline is wank
That’s it

Judas- Evie was one victim and the other one was the trans man at the beginning. And then some random non-trans woman who survived the attack. Makes little sense really.

WhatToDoForTheBest2019 · 08/01/2019 22:10

I figured they're going for a self-loathing and takingit out on people living as their true selves, although I didn't think that last victim was trans.
I don't think my DH appreciated my comment about them doubling the annual trans murder rate in the space of half an hour if the missing charity boss was dead.

Also, I thought the vomming thing was plot-relevant, like it's going to turn out the victims were drugged or poisoned.

GraceMarks · 08/01/2019 22:08

They said "some feminists", yes, but do feminists of any sort generally send hate mail to trans people? Disagreeing with them on Twitter isn't the same thing.

I felt like the female pathologist (short dark hair) was being set up as the faintly gender critical one who will come to realise why she's wrong by the end of the second part.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 08/01/2019 22:07

I’m confused but, then again, I only started watching half way through. The episode info says ‘attack on a transgender man’ but they’re referring to someone called Evie and calling them she. So is the victim a transman or a transwoman? Or is there more than one victim and I just missed it?

Funkyfunkybeat12 · 08/01/2019 22:07

Lolz at the head pathologist just accepting that guy was a woman because he said he used female pronouns. Come on- doesn’t being a pathologist require medical training? It’s one thing to use and respect pronouns but I can’t see any doctor of that age (and with more brain cells than Dr Adrian Harrop) actually thinking the man is a woman.

I have a crush on Heather Peace generally....

Also is it me or is the storyline total wank? I sometimes watch the old ones with Amanda Burton and these new ones are just rubbish in comparison.

Gawd there is so much vomiting in toilets

It’s an overused trope in drama. Very few people actually vomit in response to strong emotion in real life. We often watch things when eating. Amazing how often the obligatory mouthfuls of vegetable soup make an appearance....

SemperIdem · 08/01/2019 22:06

As a pp said - how does that work for the autopsy segment?

AspieAndProud · 08/01/2019 22:04

I started a thread on this yesterday and it was pulled.

tazzle22 · 08/01/2019 22:00

I thought they said some feminists rather than a blanket inclusion.

Pachyderm1 · 08/01/2019 22:00

It looks like they’re setting up the ‘transwomen are just predatory men using transgenderism as a means of preying on others’ stereotype but they usually do a bait and switch so I doubt that will actually be the story.

littlbrowndog · 08/01/2019 21:58

Gawd there is so much vomiting in toilets
Fuck the storyl8ne what ever it is
It’s all the vomiting in vile toilets

Freespeecher · 08/01/2019 21:56

This could backfire.

'We have the body of a biological... uh oh.

AnyOldPrion · 08/01/2019 21:46

Please no. I love Silent Witless....

GraceMarks · 08/01/2019 21:44

It was going ok until they lumped feminists in with the far right as people who sent a trans woman hate mail...
