Have just realised that there are ten letters left in the Fan A to Z. These have *got* to be done before the year is out. And before December gets all that busy with my usual projects… So here comes Q.
Q – Third season of BS or not?
Hahaha, well, this question quite clearly shows how old this challenge ist. When I compiled the questions for it, RA had not yet been properly confirmed to be part of BS3. And in the meantime we have not only had confirmation, but filming has long since wrapped and we are actually less than a week away from the season 3 premiere and RA himself is promoting the show far and wide.
So, my opinion on it is purely academic. BS3? No thank you. Just based on how Daniel Miller has been overshadowed by everyone else on the show, I just don’t want to see more of that. The new trailers may try to convince us otherwise – they are putting RA front and centre in the action. But well, I’ve seen that strategy before, and I have heard the showrunners make promises on the topicality of their show, and frankly, it never lived up to the hype. So, yeah, I could’ve done without it. But hey, now that it’s coming, I’ll gladly take any further Arsitage.

Love the moto jacket, black tee, jeans, long stride look even the mobile glued to his ear. Do you think that’s his real hair on top? Do you plan on watching all 10 episodes or stopping when Daniel is done?

Ha, I have absolutely no problem ditching this show as soon as Daniel is done (away). I am really superficial like that… *hehehe*
I like the look, too. As for the hair – hm, I have my doubts, but it’s inconclusive…
LikeLike
Yeah I know IMDB has him listed only in 1 episode and Rhys Ifans listed in 4 episodes but that doesn’t mean anything so I’m just telling myself that whatever happens and if he is OUT (aka dead) I won’t watch a season 4 although I think there will be a huge outcry if Daniel is killed off. To be honest I hope that’s Flat Richie’s real hair and not a weave or whatever them male term is. But it looks good filled in now.
LikeLike
Hm – the trailer didn’t look as if he’d only be in one episode. Can’t believe that they are setting everything up that quickly… But yeah, I’ll definitely not only skip the remainder of season 3 post-mortem Danieli, but also a possible season 4.
LikeLike
Yeah I think he will be in at least until Ep4 if he is the “fallen comrade” although I don’t like the term and I am speculating I do not know anything here. I’m basing my assumption off of his lack of filming time (I think if he were the lead lead he would have been heavily in all 10 episodes) and Orser’s sneaky pics this past summer. He and MF were the last two people filming so my guess they are in almost all of the 10 episodes. I think it’s a huge mistake if Daniel is chopped off huge mistake…

On the one hand it is a mistake. On the other I’ll be glad to know that he is not obligated to a sub-par show anymore…

Oh god, post mortem Danieli. 😂😂
We are so conditioned to expect his expiration, we are speaking in tongues. Or is that you trying to distance yourself from the inevitable with a scientific language barrier?

Kate, I’ve now totally distanced myself because I won’t get really upset if what I think will happen actually happens. Had I not been following and digging around this summer Orser’s twitter and IG and come into it with no knowledge at all I would be majorly upset if he ends up post mortem.. I didn’t know Richard existed until I saw BS1 in January so if he had been killed off OFF I would have been really upset then…

Hehe, not even distancing myself. Just being a pretentious old bag with Latin proficiency certificate 😀

Having seen the promo where Richard and Mina talk about Daniel’s search for the truth about his mother, add that to the trouble in the Ukraine that Daniel gets himself into, and that’s quite an involved story line for him, so maybe he has more screen time than we first thought. I hope so, but I still have a feeling of dread about his fate. 😥

No idea when it will screen here, it’s on a free to air channel. We got S1 and S2 together in December 2017 – and the UK even later still – so there’s no rhyme or reason for when Epix releases it outside the US.

Oh hopefully then in Dec or Jan
Are you gonna blackout then? I’m not on Twitter so I don’t know if there’s heavy chatter there about Ep1 yet?

I’m not on Twitter but I don’t blackout – posts will start appearing on Tumblr and spoilers don’t really worry me. I’m too eager for sight and sound of Richard/Daniel to wait a second any longer than necessary 😉

Yes me too! That’s why I plunged ahead and watched it immediately when I got home today. I just don’t want to say anything unless Guylty does a blog post about it and opens up the comments. I definitely want to respect everyone who won’t get to see it this soon 😘
