The Bridge

Post by Alien Redrum »

Anyone watch/watching this? It's pretty damn good. I'm two episodes in and it's better than Evil.

I'm thinking I might make one to keep in the trunk of the car though. Might be nice to have hot water if I ever have to watch a Matthews compound for 3-4 days hoping to get the drop on Sergio Frenchi. - Neon Bolan

I watched a few eps of the American one when it came out, but it didn't grab me. I think the Sam watched the original one (swedish?) on Netflix. Not sure how much she watched of it though.

It was a joint Danish/Swedish production about the bridge that connects their countries.

You seem to know a lot about something you claim you have never watched.

So, the lead detective has Aspergers or is mildly autistic. It's not outright said, but it's pretty obvious. I'm fine with this, but I do have an issue where...like she's too old (I would believe) to be asking certain questions. She's not stupid, so things like the example below would have already been addressed in her life.

For example, in one scene, her the Mexican cop gets a call from his wife. The female cop goes, "Doesn't she know you're working?"

And he's all, "Yeah."

And she's like, "Well why is she calling then?"

And he's all, "Sometimes she wants to hear my voice."

So later on, she asks her boss, who is clearly more than a mentor (I'm not talking sexually; it seems he knows she's different and goes above and beyond with her. They have a history, obviously.), and says, "Does your wife ever call you to hear your voice?"

And he's all, "Yeah."

So here's the thing. That question doesn't bother me. It bothers me that she's like 30 and asking it. I'm confident that this would have come up before. She's not stupid. It's just the show beating you over the head that there's something about her (Asperbergers or Autism). And it can be too much.

However, there's a scene where she has sex that's fantastic. :lol:

But I'm still REALLY liking this. It's dark and interesting as hell. Can't wait to finish it to watch the Swedish version.

It's not swedish. It's Danish and Swedish.

I'm sure you really enjoyed the sex scene :roll:

So I just made a really good smoothie for dinner. It was a super simple recipe:

I just put a:
banana
frozen mixed berries
protein powder
unsweetened almond milk

in a blender and blend it. The frozen berries will turn it into a shake like consistency. Just use whatever amounts you want don't ask me how much your glasses hold.

I hate it when I see someone adding ice to a smoothie. What? Why do you want to water this down? What's the point? It's a smoothie, not kool-aid. Just use frozen berries. It will be a taste sensation and you get the same frozen beverage without the watery ice chunks.
