CurrerBell, Jakob's job is something to do with comic books, not sure if it is writing, illustrating or selling. I presume this is why he wears underpants with comic prints on them!!

CurrerBell · 24/01/2014 23:46

Thank you Sunnymeg - I missed that about Jakob's job. Martin made a point about Saga not being interested enough to ask what he did!

flatmum · 25/01/2014 10:25

I think saga also did the trouser thing in series one didnt she?

StressedOutDad · 25/01/2014 10:39

can't wait for 9pm. g&t with lime, turn on the heating Shock settle down to two hours of good tv no ads.

StressedOutDad · 25/01/2014 10:46

Interesting, I thought Saga loosened her trousers because they were tight and she wasn't embarrassed about needing to loosen her trousers so she just loosened them as that would be comfortable. But yeh, pregnancy, why not? Shock

stinkingbishop · 25/01/2014 10:59

Yes, she did do it in series 1, but it just seems to be happening quite a lot more now...do we think there's any significance in Jakob being a comic book writer btw? Is Saga his super hero? Big kids?

I love this thread - I've avoided it up until now because I was a few programmes behind everyone else.

I loved Saga eyeballing her MIL. That poor woman. I'd hate to think of Jacob being a baddie and he did have a nice mum, so he should be OK.

Now I'm wondering whether Saga's pregnant - I hadn't thought of it until you lot got me thinking. However, when she loosens her trousers and puts her hand down I always think she's going to start masturbating!

I hadn't thought of Pernille as being a baddie - I just saw her as Martin's option - he could stick with it with his wife and try to make things work or just fuck it all off and start afresh. I think in the past he would've done that - in the first series he said he'd had three wives. I like to think he's learned something since the last series and though he's tempted, he wants his family back.

I think Saga's ASD is really well portrayed. Sometimes she looks so lost because she knows she doesn't understand what's going on. Some people are speaking as though she should have 'improved' by now - it doesn't exactly work like that! I think the reason it's more pronounced now is because of her trauma at the end of the last season, when Martin lost his son.

I love the way Martin laughs when Saga says something in her usual Saga-like way. Sometimes I think they've caught the first shot, where he's genuinely laughing rather than acting. It's lovely to see that he just loves her now, for what she did with his son.

I can't wait for tonight.

AcrylicPlexiglass · 25/01/2014 16:22

I can't wait either! 4.5 hours to go...

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 25/01/2014 16:28

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 25/01/2014 17:10

Was MNing on my phone but the electricity fairies have woken up again. An hour more or less and I was more bothered about The Bridge than cooking dinner!

AcrylicPlexiglass · 25/01/2014 17:34

phew!

mrsruffallo · 25/01/2014 18:48

So glad to have found this thread. I am the only devotee in my house and it's great to be able to read all these comments and relate to them.
I hope Saga isn't pregnant, I imagine her as being contraception savvy and I don't think it would her character. I also like having a female character who isn't necessarily yearning for motherhood but is focused on her work and is fulfilled by that.
