The Affair

[Ninacarter77]

Back next week on Sky Atlantic.

Loved series 1 apart from rubbish ending and so many loose ends.

Is this defiantly the last one?

I'd like to know that, each - the time it's taking them to tell all 4 sides of the story makes me wonder if they are going to stretch it out another series.

Re the timeline, a pp asked - I noticed the girl Cole was chatting up said she was here to work for the summer so I assumed we are now a year on from the affair. But Alison is not yet pg as far as we know, plus Cole isn't even dating that girl yet so the actual trial must be ages after the actual affair.
Also, at some point the book is going to be published and a success because when Noah is arrested they are living in a big fancy house.
So all that must still be to come.

It is confusing though, I wish they would put a month and year up at the start of each story.

I'm loving it, it's really visceral (? right word, raw and and real)
Poor Alison at the posh house and being treated so badly by the publisher and the boner! Ew ew ew.

Ah for once we are ahead of UK telly. By two episodes....

Keeping watching....

Did Oscar pass something to the lawyer at the end?

Boo - yes he did.
It was quite small - could have been a business-type card or a small photo or, well, anything I suppose.
The plot thickens.

I can't believe that Alison considered herself anything other than a sex object - she met Noah whilst working in a cafe, so he obviously didn't get to know her before shagging her so not like her personality won him over first??

You could say the same for Noah, however I think she was in such a bad place when they met that she craved anything & he fitted that bill.

Totally agree re boner eeewwww!!

Love the turquoise dress the woman put on in Cole's cab as her work uniform at The End. Really swishy and swingy! Anyone know what that style would be called?

I just saw the most recent one, it was hard watching at some points - lots of cringing. Her new boss turned on her pretty swiftly.

I can't believe she showed up at Helen's door.

Loved the backseat transformation also!

Thank you for pointers re time line! Yes it must have been the "next" summer in the most recent episode

Love, love, love it- best and most classy show on Sky Atlantic since True Detective IMO. Great cast, great setting and awesome music. Love the two leads but also think Cole and Helen are great. Helen irritates me but I think that's part of what makes her so great if that makes sense! With Series 1 I was so hooked after the first episode that I streamed the rest on my tablet and binged on them, then regretted it when it was still on and I'd already seen them all. I'm resisting the temptation this time round!

10mrh baby and 9mthe preg so roughly 18/20mths in the future

Could the baby be Coles not Noah?

And I thought scotty died at Coles wedding?

What was the hair thing?

And yes people who own the house where horrible to alison

Cole isn't fat! When shagging old blonde woman there was no paunch. In clothes he is made to look unkempt and with beer belly. . He is the best character and totally hot . Loved this episode and I think it's because noah was absent. Loved how they portrayed the sex between Alison and Cole - just felt really intimate and loving as opposed to graphic and lusty.

I absolutely love Pacey Cole. So bloody hot. How someone could go from Pacey Cole to Noah is a mystery to me.

Did you ever watch fringe?? JJ is fab in that

No Haven't watched fringe but will now. I'm totally in love with pacey Cole. He's a fantastic actor too. Dominic west is good too but I just cannot shake off him as Fred west.

Fred West does ruin him!

Totally love Cole / Pacey! Wonder what Joshua Jackson is like in real life as don't see much of him other than his acting roles?

Diane Kruger is blooming stunning looking. And abit older than him. Makes a refreshing change!

Who is Diane Kruger?

I remember her as a model en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Kruger

I didn't realise they were a couple!

I'm utterly loving this season. The acting is sublime.

I dont think Dominic West is all that good looking in this series. He was really sexy I thought in season one. I dont know if its his hair that is cut shorter or what, but I am definately thinking that Cole is the better looking one now, although he is looking pretty rough right now.

Ok, I am not giving anything away as we are ahead in the series.

What was the hair thing?

Helen was in the hairdressers when she forgot was meant to pick up the kids and left the foils in (what seemed to be for hours). Now she has the most god awful blonde streaks there . I think irl the hair would have just fallen out.....

What episode are you currently on?

Definitely think they are trying to make Cole look overweight and unkempt. He practically hunches over sometimes. But as a pp said, in the sex scene with the blonde woman it was clear there wasn't much wrong with his bod at all. Yum.

I much prefer seeing him nekkid than Noah's massive arse.

Oh of course. In car with foil in hair

Don't rem seeing her hair afterwards --I'm
Soooooooooo not observant--

Alison knocked on the door so will go back and check her hair out
