Damn good Television #2
The first episode of the second season aired Sunday night in the UK. It has gone from being superb to something even better. Now we know the characters we’re thrown into the deep end with several plot threads running at once. Despite this, I feel like I can keep track far better than I could with the first season.
Interesting new additions to the cast show just how good it is – William Hurt appears as Daniel Purcell, a man who has discovered his company has caused deaths and is an old acquaintance of Patty’s (Glenn Close). Timothy Oliphant Wes Krulik, a vengeful member of the support group Ellen Parsons has started going to. Also, Ted Danson returns as the spineless Arthur Frobisher. It’d be silly to take any of these characters at face value if season one of Damages and its twisty-turny plot are anything to go by.
Another Way To Die – the Quantum of Solace Theme Tune
First question – what’s wrong with it?! I think it’s really cool! There’s a whole lot of hate over it at the BBC website at the moment. I mean Jesus, we’re talking 90% pure, unadulterated hate. I think the problem is that it is for a Bond film, and everyone’s so quick off the mark to call it crap unless it’s exactly what they thought it would be. Before White and Keys were revealed as the singers I thought it was gonna be Duffy, who I’m sure would have done an ace little number. Muse would have been perfect for the job but I don’t think they were ever asked. I reckon Winehouse was hit and miss – she could either have done something fantastic, or frankly, pap. The fact that Ronson scrapped whatever it is that they produced is immaterial, he’s not exactly the next John Lennon, is he? Anyway, this tune is no way as bad as people are saying, it’s pretty catchy and I’m sure it’ll grow on me even more. It seems like people just want to hark on about how much they know about Bond and music, and why change is bad. Sod em!
