    Sadly I can't record two and watch one, and having been bored rigid by last week's episode there's no second chances on this ship.. Silent Witness and Homeland for me!

    Think I'll do the opposite as this thread is so much fun!

    I'm going to give it another go tonight - it's fingers crossed for more clunky and exposition heavy dialogue and fine hats!!

    Evening all. :)

    This week is meant to be better than last week. I hope it is.

    They've somehow made episode one look good. Remarkable.

    They should've done that last week and aired a Downton Abbey repeat for the rest of the time. :D

    More unnecessary exposition about the lifeboats. Why would these chaps suddenly be having these conversations about the number of lifeboats when not only the Olympic, but scores of other ships had been getting fitted out with less than necessary for years? Once again, this is a blatant case of hindsight being forced into the retelling of the Titanic simply for the purposes of dramatic irony.

    How many times has the word 'Catholic' been mentioned?

    Also the family looking forward to a new life are clearly doomed!

    The dialogue is dreadfully clunky tonight.

    Had to play the religion card as the ship was built in Belfast, YAWN

    I think the dichotomising of 'Catholic' and 'Protestant' tonight is to directly replace last week's 'Rich' versus 'Poor' (or rather Upper Class versus Everyone!). All Fellowes seems to do is set up social groups against each other with all the subtlelty of an iceberg to the starboard side.

    Almost every character seems to be a 21st century liberal trapped in 1912 - "we are victims of religious discrimination", "isn't the class system awful" etc.

    SPOF 1 of many... leave behind the person who queried the lifeboat loadout...

    Captain Birdseye's eyebrows are very impressive. A nice arch to them

    Dramatic license or was Blair the luckiest person in Titanic's story?

    EDIT: Just checked - Blair was lucky. He was removed from his post before the ship set sail.

    The music again is too Horner like.
