Are we all in agreement that River doesn't die? Cuz the only timeline I see with him dead is cuz he took the Bond role and can't play River anymore. Oldman is phenomenal no doubt, but River really does carry his weight on this show. W/o him it'd be the uninteresting women and the asian tard trying to support Oldman and it will be shit.
>>223865788>Are we all in agreementthis is tv retard
>>223865788>W/o
>>223865828This means without. Maybe learn to internet before posting, noob.
>>223865788I was confused as to what happened to him. Was he just having a heart attack or was he poisoned? Did I miss some talk of poison earlier on in the season?
>>223865788Women Rule!
>>223865891That crowbar had some sort of nerve agent I think. After he moved it he slowly lost his shit. But Sid should be upstairs showering as we heard, so she could easily come downstairs and save him.
River could do soooooo much better than that curveless haglet, Sid. Oh well, I guess it's a small improvement over the thing.
>>223865891>>223865955He got Novichok'd. He'll probably be a vegetable next season and the Strong Women™ will be in charge.
River isn't dead because his dad's semi villain arc isn't finished. River is probably going to have to kill his dad before this show wraps up. The only way he's really dead is if he got secretly me too'd. He's way too important.
It would be easier to replace lamb, the role, than river. Their entire plot revolves around him. He won't die and he won't even be out long. Day or two at max. He'll be up doing retarded shit in e1 of the next season
>>223866012>>223865955Yeah but to just have him randomly poisoned like that is pretty lazy screenwriting, especially if they don't set it up earlier on in the season. I was legitimately confused as to whether it was poison or he was having a heart attack or whether it was just a panic attack. It was a strange scene that didn't really make a whole lot of sense.
>>223866059The "Next season" teaser seemed to suggest there would be a lot of focus on women tarding about. They might be keeping it open and trying out one season without River -in case the guy gets to be Bond
>>223866126Slow Horses teasers are unreliable. The only scenario where River isn't back is if he's the next James Bond. It'd ruin the show, but River would have to bail for Bond. Outside of him raping or killing someone irl, I just don't see him really dying on the show.
>>223866102The poisoning was actually hinted at earlier in the season. E2 IIRC. This wasn't a "oh shit we gotta kill him off move", this was part of the story all along. There's a lot of foreshadowing in this show if you rewatch. River isn't going to die, at least not now. That'd be too easy for Lamb.
>>223866157They might keep him in a coma for most of the season
>>223866190If he lands a major role outside of this show I could see it happening, if not, no. He has to want out for career reasons, him and Oldman are carrying the rest of these blokes to kino.
Oldman's Jackson Lamb might be the most disgusting /tv/ character I've ever enjoyed. You can almost smell his filth through the tv.
>>223866208>him and Oldman are carrying the rest of these blokes to kinoTrue
Lamb's old lady secretary is surprisingly good. Maybe even great in her role. She's so relatable to anyone with a grandma too.
I know this isn't the right thread for it, but how do you guys feel about The Night Manager?
>>223866102speed watcher detected, they set it up in one of the earlier episodes when the russians are at his grandpas house
>>223866395Watched the first season and frankly the story is a bit shit. Way too many contrivances. Also both Lokiman and House didn't sell me on their respective characters. The entire project just felt like a vanity exercise in acting for them, but they didn't even pull it off.Loki in particular showed the limitations of his range.
>>223866449Okay there was this scene in episode 3 where the male russian is laying out this sore throat spray along with some rubber gloves. At the time I thought this was related to the spray that they used on Moria to knock her out, but in hindsight it does make sense. It is a pretty forgettable scene though.
>>223866395homoslop
>>223866395Contrived and lackluster.
>>223866497yeah desu it was rather forgettable
>>223866395It was okay. I'm kinda more interested in Peacock's The Day of the Jackal. (the the original is superior, obv)
>>223866484That's fair. I thought that Lokiman was alright, but Hugh Laurie did sell me on the morally rotten arms dealer type.>>223866677I love that show, but I could do without the family subplot. Eddie Redmayne is fantastic as the Jackal, and I was happy to see the negress get got. It's also refreshing to see a bad guy win for once.
those last two episodes were probably the best eps in the entire show
Spoiler he gets poisoned in the books but survives. The tv script had deviate from the books quite a bit tho, and Jack Lowden who plays River is on the Bond shortlist … in invus Oldman has suggested he could be killed outright and the plot hang is coverage in case he gets the 007 role
>>223865985Nobody can do better than Olivia, shut up.
