[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 215627, member: 8"] Oh yes, they will! And they're still voting on [I]moving onto[/I] the next item on the agenda, and even that results in endless quarrels. It's really something else. Series 5 is another fascinating installment, mostly because it lacks the emphasis that the 80s soaps reserve for their more crucial moments and developments. All the mundane stuff and mundane dialogue seamlessly blend with those bigger moments. There's no build-up, no score that informs the viewers to move to the edge of their seats, and this makes it feel constantly surprising, even when there aren't any surprises. The story arcs are not very structured and yet nothing looks like an unnecessary subplot or filler, although I'm sure some people would disagree with that. The Brothers also have their Rashid Ahmed, and then suddenly he's in Mary Hammond's living room while Caress Morell's drunken ex-husband impersonates a belly dancer while other guests discuss the soon-to-be-adopted baby's name with some of the business storyline still in the background. I've learned what a Judas sheep is, all new American movies appear to be disaster movies (according to Edward Hammond), Mary Hammond thinks it's time for a mini-shareholder's meeting and Ted and Jennifer are listening to an instrumental cover version of Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Get Down", must be one of those tacky Stereo Sound Parade LPs. [ATTACH=full]20999[/ATTACH] I was quite shocked when I saw the swimming pool in the backyard of the Hammond residence. It's almost vulgar! Roll on, series 6. [/QUOTE]
