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.

Well!

Hope we could have another series with Borch, Juncker and Brix, but can't see it happening. Oh and Troels Hartmann too.

smugmumofboys · 15/12/2012 23:24

Yes Schmaltzing! I shouted at the telly ' Don't they have sodding electricity in Denmark?' Everything in semi-darkness.

smugmumofboys · 15/12/2012 23:25

And the stoical Brix was greatly underused this series. He mostly stood gazing into the middle distance with a mobile stuck to his ear.

teejwood · 15/12/2012 23:26

Ha! Know what you mean about cellars, schmaltzing!

teejwood · 15/12/2012 23:30

LaVolcan your line up almost sounds like an invitation for some fanfic Xmas Grin

smugmumofboys · 15/12/2012 23:31

Just casually looking at Easyjet flights to Copenhagen next Easter! Very cheap and they fly from Manchester.

teejwood · 15/12/2012 23:32

So is it Borgen 2 next?

teejwood · 15/12/2012 23:33

smugmum didn't you go last year? Or was that just our collective scandi-trip planning on the thread?

smugmumofboys · 15/12/2012 23:33

Yep. 4th January I think. I hope her faithless ex makes an appearance. Xmas Wink

teejwood · 15/12/2012 23:35

Oh yes, smug
I still have a soft spot for him in spite of his general gittishness in both TKII and Borgen I
Tak for the heads up on the broadcast date btw

smugmumofboys · 15/12/2012 23:35

Oh I was there in spirit teej! We ended up in Istanbul instead visiting an old friend. DH quite keen this time round. I'm quite excited and I haven't even booked anything yet.

teejwood · 15/12/2012 23:39

Istanbul sounds fab, though. And you never know, there may have been an ex-Danish cop there, investigating all sorts of awfulness in buildings without any lights

smugmumofboys · 15/12/2012 23:41

Xmas Grin Istanbul is ace.

skandi1 · 16/12/2012 00:01

Smug. They do have electricity but they all prefer this low lighting thing. It's called "hygge". No direct translation but it means a combination of cosiness, comfort, togetherness and joy all rolled into one word. And yes low lighting/candle light is a must.

smugmumofboys · 16/12/2012 00:03

When can I move there? I need to get myself some hygge. At 44 low level lighting is a necessity!

skandi1 · 16/12/2012 00:08

Grin Smug. Until you do manage to move there you may have to make do with creating your own hygge.
Turn off your lights and get your candles on. And stock up on Danish food and snacks from The Scandi Kitchen. Here: www.scandikitchen.co.uk/shop

Spend a week in Denmark outside of Copenhagen in the provinces and it will soon cure you of wanting hygge.

smugmumofboys · 16/12/2012 00:10

I think I must have been a Dane in a previous life as I have a thing for candles and lamps. So much more flattering.

GingersarealwaysToms · 16/12/2012 00:10

Ooooh, hopes you don't mind me joining you, watched it 15 mins late all the way through. Sorry to be blood-thirsty but just so glad she killed him. He couldn't be allowed to get away with it. Beautiful scene between Borch & Sarah, brilliantly acted. Agree with whoever said other board guy at Zeeland may have been involved.

GingersarealwaysToms · 16/12/2012 00:12

Has anyone heard anything about this Iranian drama starting tomorrow night? Am feeling withdrawal symptoms already.

LaVolcan · 16/12/2012 00:23

Lund did exasperate me though. In the first series I kept telling her to read the files but she didn't listen. This time I told her to check the Medea again, but she was too busy blundering around in the dark with the torch to be bothered to take on board what I was saying!

Another vote for Istanbul here (as well as Copenhagen of course.)

GingersarealwaysToms · 16/12/2012 00:36

LaVolcan hello! are you still up? Don't know what special brand of magic it is I bring but I seem to be able to kill threads in seconds. Whenever I rear my feline head people run away.

GingersarealwaysToms · 16/12/2012 00:46

Yep. Done it again

LaVolcan · 16/12/2012 01:16

You haven't! But I am going to bed now - will continue with the post mortem tomorrow. Are gingers always toms? My ginger cat was.

Zwitterion · 16/12/2012 09:02

It was a blinder. Loved it.

Those last scenes....goodness.

I want more!

Matsikula · 16/12/2012 10:35

Excuse me butting in, but I just had to share my devastation that it is all over.

What an ending! My pulse was racing all through those scenes in Norway, and they were so beautifully shot too.

I knew it wasn't going to end well for Lund, but I never guessed this would happen. I think I would have preferred it if she'd died, and I was convinced Reinhardt was going to run her over when she got out of that car.

Sadly, I thought the ending proves how perfect Borch is for her. Instead if being mad that she has ruined their lives, she knows the only thing that matters to her is to try to prove he was guilty. Can't see how that is going to happen, and presumably he knows he is going to end up in prison too. Went to bed last night having to remind myself that Lund is not real, and then dreamt of a Troels-funded campaign to exonerate her.

I think I need a break from Nordic noir, but which do you all prefer - the Bridge or Borgen?
