Summer Break 2013

[Pierced Musie]

Ah Seb... he wasn't even on the list for voting, was he?

Now that is a character I wouldn't mind seeing come back.

[Light of the Bay]

I'd like to see him return too!

It'd give Alf a purpose and maybe Fisher could return too. I'd like to see Alf's SON (can't believe he's been gone for 8 years) return - it's lame that he's never mentioned.

Oh btw - haha, Channel 5. I hope these shocking figures teach you a lesson and maybe next year you'll offer some proper episodes to choose from and ones that we haven't seen a million times before!

[Posy]

Well that was weird. The announcer said it was Hayley's episode - but she wasn't in it at all.

Still at least it wasn't too recent.

[Red Ranger 1]

^Yeah, that was my thought as well.Unless they've decided they haven't been obscure enough yet and are showing episodes where the character's only in the opening titles, I can only assume he was reading the wrong script.(Twitter account is even less use, claiming that Hayley's at No.19-which was yesterday's episode-and that it was her and Noah's wedding.So someone, somewhere has obviously lost count along with their marbles.If we do get that at some point, then hey, another 2004 episode, even if it is one that turns up a lot.)

So, today!I'd have guessed it was Dani, Tasha's the only other candidate.Really enjoyed seeing it, despite finding it very hard to empathise with many of the characters:Beth came across as a bit self-righteous and it's hard not to gain some satisfaction from her getting her ego kicked, Scott demonstrates that his brain's still lost at the cleaners and even Robbie, after a cute scene with Tasha, seemed to just throw tantrums at everyone.Nice moment from Rhys even though he was hardly in it.A decent chunk of Sally which is always nice, especially the way she manages to ooze empathy towards Robbie while having her back to camera.Was Kirsty's hair really that colour?Gosh, she looked young.Even Val looked younger than I remember or maybe I'm just old.Or watching on a better television.

As for Dani's storyline...well, Felix was always a bit of a random villain and it's hard not to be bothered by the fact that this drags on for two years with increasingly motiveless characters turning up seeking revenge on people who weren't even on the show then.One minute it's sticking prawns in someone's car, then it ends with a couple of psycho lesbians blowing up a barn and completely failing to take anyone with them.(Well, not directly anyway.)Still, it's nice we're getting a decent spread of episodes even if it would be nicer to get them in chronological order.We shouldn't complain. Much.

[Pierced Musie]

I have most of 2004 on VHS and watching now I see how stupid the leap from Felix to Sarah was, especially when there had been no scenes between them but I still think that Sarah was a great villian because she was a complex character. Only on rewatch do you see how random the introduction to Sarah Lewis was.

Heh, I never thought that Matilda would end up my favourite Hunter... unless I forget Kit era 06-07. I had always thought Robbie only became an idiot in 05 but watching todays episode made me realise he always was an idiot.

I came in to post that! He also said it was one of the most memorable episodes in the show's history and we got a rather bland episode without Bec Hewitt!!

[myken]

Thursday's episode is episode 4628, from 2008. "Nicole has plans for Geoff. Jazz has found her man in Miles. Morag has a big date." I guess it's either Geoff or Nicole's day.

[Pierced Musie]

I'm guessing Nicole. Isn't this the episode where she has a bet with Aden? That is what it says on my EPG anyway but it could be completely wrong .

I've given up trying to figure it out. I think they have pulled the results out of their arses and are just putting on random episodes now.

:wink:

Have you stuck the knife into the episode on a certain movie website yet?

[alreetlike]

I've not watched any of these and I really don't feel like I'm missing out.
