Hej og hilser velkommen.

[ImperialBlether]

It's on tonight! Get your herrings and your jumpers and your tattoo of Troels on show and join me on the sofa for series 3 of The Killing.

Ooh. I was trying to watch this the other night for the first time, it looks really good.

I doubt I'll get much of a chance though being as the kids won't go to bed and leave me alone to enjoy it! Jeg ved ikke. forfaerdeligt mine born

The foster parent said, Louise's DM told her, DF was away sailing the seas like Pippi Longstocking's dad. I get the impression Reinhardt was working for Robert's father before working for him so when would he have had time to be at sea? plus there was some gentleness about the kidnapper's treatment of Emilie (right up to the possible shooting oh dear I know that sounds mad) and Reinhardt looks a bit old school and stiff to be relaxed with children.

Perp was old enough to father Louise yet sufficiently strong to overpower 3 sailors and manhandle the deputy public prosecutor up to the roof and tie him up, plus grapple with Borch, and nimble enough to run away from Lund, and IT savvy enough to use technology.

I'm confused now. not the first time

If the cast don't know who the kidnapper is until they film it, how does the audience know how close a body match it is when they shoot those scenes?

Also, I think I'm still saying kidnapper rather than killer because of the two young girls who are victims only one is definitely dead. So although the kidnapper has killed people, that's not where the focus is iyswim.

Yes, I'm confusing myself as well since there are clearly two perps functioning seperately - the kidnapper/possible murderer of Emilie and the killer of Louise. The kidnapper is supposedly avenging the dead girl - although that might be a (pickled) red herring of course since he seemed not to understand what Lund was talking about in relation to the case and has never specifically mentioned Louise ( or did he? Like I say, i'm confused!)

Not sure the cigarette thing is a clue currerbell - thought it was more intended to show the killer was still right there on the ship.

Think the beeb have made a mistake with the scheduling - they should have had one episode on the weekend and one midweek as it's just too unbearably long to wait for a whole week. How many episodes are there?

I was ace at pinning the Perps in 1 and 2 but this one has me bamboozled and I am all at sea trying to work out who it is.

Ussing was my hunch but I think I'm way off there. < strokes chin and thinks>

I'm getting totally confused now. If the kidnapper of Emilie isn't avenging the death of Louise, then why is he doing it? Or is it just some hideous crime that Zeeland have committed, of which Zeuthen is the figurehead.

After 6 episodes I still feel the plot is no further along - basically it could be anybody we've seen for any reason that is yet to be uncovered. No wonder we're all confused!

Watching episode 6 again, at the start it's like Mum, Dad and kid driving along - Sarah tucks a jacket round Borch, Asbjorn nearly asks are we there yet, then asks for crisps.

I don't think it's going to be Emilie's body - I think it's going to be another girl altogether. More plot-thickening.

Apart from that, it's fair to say I'm utterly utterly confused.

? Missing pigs, doesn't Borch just say they're off to look at pigs meaning check out farms nearby following searching bunkers and summer houses?

Skandi, I have a question: Are the English subtitles always exactly the same as the Danish, or do we miss subtle nuances that are lost in translation?

I feel certain he didn't shoot her - that's the one and only thing I'm certain about.

Who mentioned pigs? I missed all that. Frankly I hope you're right. I want to see Emilie return intercut with the birth of baby Lund and Sara sobbing with joy. Background music will be A Little Drummer Boy.

Fridge I think we are missing subtle nuances with the subtitling.
I grew up with Dutch subtitles and as my English became better I started noticing how many things are being missed or changed, I am sure that's the case here as well.

I caught some of yesterdays E5 repeat and whatever is in the duffel bag, to me it looks to small and lifeless to be Emilie.

Looking again at the package that the perpetrator shot - it didn't look like the shape of a nine year old girl, so perhaps it was one of the missing pigs. Presumably this was stage managed by the perpetrator because he knew Zeuthen was watching, so this was to make him suffer.

Remind me about the missing pigs? I do remember some reference to them, but I think I ignored it as it never occurred to me it could be relevant (fooled again). Who did they belong to?

Very good Clara, I want to see Emilie return intercut with the birth of baby Lund and Sara sobbing with joy. Background music will be A Little Drummer Boy.

Maybe Sarah is pregnant herself after dtd with Borch!

Head explodes

Spot on Visual.

Actually Donkeys I did think it would be nice if she was pg because that Marc is no use to man nor beast.

Visual you are probably right but I will only accept a happy ending. What do you mean by "or her"? Did I miss something in the second season? I didn't watch further than the second episode but might go back now.

Regarding the subtitling, I found this on the other blog which states the nuances we are missing:

The question about the fate of Emilie after the shooting scene has been raised by several posters. So let me confirm, that she is still alive as an extremely important sentence was missed and not translated at all. If you go on the iPlayer (eps 6 & 50:41) Brix is about to finish his conversation with Lund over the mobile "Lund for helvede", when Brix's right-hand man approaching and telling him, that the girl has been located. The subtitle says -"The salvage team has located the remains of the girl" However, in Danish he is saying "De har fundet pigen eller det som skal forestille pigen" Translated the full sentence should read "They have located the girl or what is supposed to be the girl". with the camera having a side view shot of Brix saying nothing, but starring after him only.
