Meanwhile, the big bloke from Prison Shift has escaped and is masquerading as the chief of police.
Recorded the first two ep's but only watched the first one. It's ok, so I'll probably continue with it for awhile.there's a very long thread about 'trapped' on the grauniad site, some of it explains this. it's to do with what flag the ship is flying iirc.
The scriptwriters seem to have an exaggerated idea of what a ships masters powers actually are. If police, immigration or customs want to search the ship they can just do it without needing a search warrant from the ships country of registry and as for discharging passengers or cargo without permission - forget it.

I haven't quite worked out what time of day is daylight and what's really the middle of the night.
I was wondering about that peloton too.
I'm beginning to ask my wife: "Who's she?" And: "Is she the one who was bonking?" "Which one's Guirmunder?"
Perla? Remind me. Who's she!?
Dr Larrington will be disappointed with the repair to Andri's motor - she was convinced it was going to be a major plot device. OTOH it still could be and Andri will spend the last two episodes hunting down Kiddi with a torque wrench in his hand and a vengeful gleam in his eye.
The third policeman Asgeir? is hiding something as well.
Wrong island. That's a 'c', not an 'r'. ;)The third policeman Asgeir? is hiding something as well.
A bicycle?

Oh thank god it's not just us! Although I very rarely resort to the pause/rewind option, it just seems so ... wrong. I do tend to struggle on, with urgent whispered questions to my - long-suffering - partner. Perhaps if digi-recorders had been invented before my birth I'd be more pragmatic!I'm beginning to ask my wife: "Who's she?" And: "Is she the one who was bonking?" "Which one's Guirmunder?"
We now never watch programmes with this amount of intellectual challenge in real time. The recorder starts up at the beginning of the episode, and we start watching about a minute later, with lots of rewinding to answer those annoying little questions about whether we saw her with him 5 minutes ago and was the arsonist holding (a) an ice pick (b) a shovel (c) a walking stick. We can usually make out the men from the women, but finer differentiation requires more investigation with the rewinder.
