Evidence didn't turn into a stone. The killer cop switched it back: he needed the charm or he believed he would be impotent. He did kill her for it after all so it must have seemed important to him. I though the stones falling down were a message to look up (i.e. in the tree) where they would find her?

iMyself · 07/03/2013 23:01

I'm guessing Fiona went out with him and wasnt nice, but still. Can you imagine it;

AIB

I went out with one of our neighbours 20 years ago and he was horrible to me. M. and my husband hadnt had sex for over a year (his lack of desire, not mine, he says its due to a curse) and the other day he came home from work and we had a 30 second pleasureless shag. He's been well up for it since.

I've found a few things and worked out he murdered a local 14 year old girl (a girl he blames for his curse).

AIBU to frame the ex boyfriend for the murder because my family is so important

kerstina · 07/03/2013 23:02

I don't really get the significance of the stones but it made sense that it was the sister communicating and therefore we knew it was Hattie (withcraft) that swapped the charm for the stone.
Dont get why you are all lusting after Linnus! Everett was the sexy one. What has he been in was it Ballykissangel?

kerstina · 07/03/2013 23:03

Oh I see about stone yes cop swapped it ?

zombiesheep · 07/03/2013 23:04

What about Fiona's daughter? The bite marks? Wtf?

Rollergirl1 · 07/03/2013 23:06

Everett has been in loads of things:

Queer as Folk
Identity
Game of Thrones

He was also in a film called Blitzed with Jason Statham.

iMyself · 07/03/2013 23:06

Everett was in Circle of Friends many moons ago

Finally watched. Avoided this thread till now

Really :( at the ending

So the cop did it. Coz hattie pretended to curse him?? how silly

His wife protected him :( Shame on her

How did Linus's mum die? Tripped on Lego?

So twins didn't swap

Is Seth dead?

What happened 20yrs ago. Sexy Irish man said he couldn't remember

Malcolm killed hisself coz of guilt

Linus was having sex and Malcolm got off on it

Was the end Caitlin pretending to be hattie or was it hattie as a ghost?

LOVED the feeding ashes to the dog

But in all a crap ending as too many loose ends :(

Definitely was Caitlin as it showed her getting changed into her clothes but she was touching all her stuff so perhaps taking on her persona. I don't know much about witchcraft though!
I think we were led to believe Seth was dead and I think there was a spoiler that we knew someone was going to die in tonights episode.

Cremolafoam · 07/03/2013 23:28

He was Carcetti in the Wire
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Carcetti
He was also in Game of Thrones

I knew him in youth theatre days.

kerstina · 07/03/2013 23:30

I might have to check out game of thrones then! Have not watched anything listed here but his face is very familiar. Lucky you if you knew him Smile

NorthernLurker · 07/03/2013 23:32

I don't think Alan swopped the stone. He wasn't at work. He was at home with the kids. Hattie said she would come back and she did. You have to believe in magic to get the ending.
Which is why it doesn't matter how long it would take to dye hair etc. We aren't watching logic. It's magic. It's all about witches, Hattie, Fiona, Linus' mum - even Gail? There was at least one scene where Fiona was walking through the woods for no apparent purpose - when Charlotte seemed to hear the trees? I guess the trees are the source of the local magic and some local women tap in to that and use it. In Fiona's case it's about the home and the family, her energy is centred on that. Hattie was looking outward - and being very teenage taking revenge on a man who made a pass at her. Gail channelled all hers inwards - remember her son said 'when did you become such a bitch?' - when they moved there I think.

I loved it tbh.

Cremolafoam · 07/03/2013 23:37

It was right and handy for Gail to get free cottage in Cornwall dontcha think? For her and the fat dog.
Also roared with laughter when she fed the dog Malcolm's ashes.

iMyself · 07/03/2013 23:44

Ok so it was magic. I just don't like the little bit supernatueal aspect to it. Either its goingto be supernatural or not. The sort of is irritates me!

NorthernLurker · 07/03/2013 23:51

I don't think it was 'sort of'. It was there, you just saw or it or not. Chief policeman, Hattie's parents, James didn't see it at all. Charlotte, Caitlin, Seth, Alan saw it. Those pebbles were real - there's no logical explanation for that at all.

armagh · 07/03/2013 23:58

I can't believe the po let her husband get away with it. Couldn't get what Linus and the dark haired twin were saying at the end. Could someone explain please. All very farfetched...till you read the daily mail and realise 'there's nowt so queer as folk'

NorthernLurker · 08/03/2013 00:06

Fiona was completely upfront about her stance. She said nothing matters more than her family. So she effectively drew a protective line around them. Coincidentally she was able to get revenge on Everett for his treatment of her - and he had no idea what she was doing. So she isn't letting Alan get away with it as such. She just won't let her family be destroyed. Her instinct is all about protecting and nurturing him. When they had the brief shag, remember her face - totally protective. Same with her reaction to the blood on the shirt and to the charm. She was going to get rid of it but then saw what she could do with it.

MaggieMaggieMaggieMcGill · 08/03/2013 00:35

Still, quite misguided. If she rocked up on the relationships board, it definitely would have been a ltb situation.
Letting your kids be raised by a murderer? Not exactly the best one could do for them, IMO.

MaggieMaggieMaggieMcGill · 08/03/2013 00:38

And she could have married personality transplanted Everett and she could have gone back to work, while he with his personality transplant new cheery disposition, could have stayed home to raise the kids and learn things like baking.

Pixel · 08/03/2013 00:41

Those kids are very easily pleased anyway, getting all excited over watching Daddy eat a cake Hmm. Very strange scene that. I was thinking they were making a big thing of him eating the cake in one go because he was about to choke to death on it when he saw 'Hattie' so that was a disappointment.

MaggieMaggieMaggieMcGill · 08/03/2013 01:21

Grin That would have been a good ending. Who writes these bloody things anyway.
I actually thought at one point, Fiona was setting Everett up so that the police would be busy with that while she manauvered Alan? Weirdo husband into a time and place where Hattie could get her revenge easily.
Would have been one for girl power but never mind!
Anyway, those kids were awfully compliant, never underfoot during important scenes, very unrealistic, ime.

Furball · 08/03/2013 03:51

and there's 5 hours gone with a disappointing ending.

I thought he could of least had a heart attack at the sight of Hattie. Or as Pixel says could of choked on his cake.

recall · 08/03/2013 06:20

Maggie I love your ending, he would have been a nicer Dad

Smellslikecatspee · 08/03/2013 06:58

Totally rubbish ending.
Really hacked off.
I know the feedback will be oh we wanted it a real life as possible. And in real life questions are left unanswered etc etc

But damn it if I wanted real life I won't be watching fiction. I want it all resolved; all threads neatly tied up in a bow!

NotADragonOfSoup · 08/03/2013 07:19

Those kids are very easily pleased anyway, getting all excited over watching Daddy eat a cake

They were just having fun - presumably he had been a miserable git for the last year and now they had their daddy back (hence the "you're not my daddy" stuff with the girl).

I assumed Linus smiled at the end because he had been told the evidence had gone.

Even with belief in magic/witchcraft it was far too vague IMO.

Something else that's bothering me - wouldn't it have been obvious that Hattie's hands had been tied with those cable tie type handcuffs?
