more thoughts on the FF

Posted on December 29, 2009 by admin No Comments

We rewatched the flashforward episode today on sky+ and, lo and behold, there was a treasure trove of stuff we hadn’t noticed when we first saw it. That’s how complex and Da Vinci-esque Hollyoaks is.

baby it’s ewwwwwww

Anyhoo, the biggest revelation was Lauren apparently being knocked up by SPENCER. How we missed this first time around we do not know (nausea induced amnesia?), but thanks to friends of WLH we were alerted to this baffling turn of events so this time we were eagle eyed….WTF!??!??! x a million! How on earth could Spencer impregnate anyone, let alone the local angry goth? Did he still wear his checked jacket as he did so? To be fair, Spencer seemed as surprised about it as we were…could it be a nasty trick of Lauren’s? Wouldn’t put it past her.

Revelation x 2: Jacqui has a gun!!! Again, another corker we missed. Ignoring the obvious question of where she got it from, and where she got a clutch bag with a compartment for weaponry, we think this cancels her out as a suspect. Too obvious. Unless Hollyoaks knows we know that. And so is going to get double bluffy on our ass? We shall see

scouse rage

We finally had a relisten to the exchange that resulted in Calvin decking Zack – by the sounds of it something unhappy will happen to Zack’s squaddie bro Caleb, which would explain why Zack has a face like a wasp chewing on a wasp? We didn’t like how Zack seemed to be getting a bit racialist though and thought he deserved a good punching really.

did he or didn’t he?

Though we previously dismissed him as a wet blanket incapable of moider, we are starting to like the idea of Malachy being the gun-wielder. He conveniently made sure that Mercedes arrived at the wedding in time for the shooting, and he was saying an awful lot of ominous things throughout the day….oooh!

other stuff we noticed

Jacqui’s scally hair curl – loved it; Carmel and Calvin’s Sonny and Cher wedding vows – marginally better than the Spice Girls/rollerboot debacle of their first wedding; the full on evils Calvin received from just about everyone at the wedding; Mercy’s white wine-quaffing Jackie Jackson style belligerence when confronted by Mal – what a ledge.
