Although I am do not have any strong convictions one way or the other, I am coming down on the Green World being the dream -- for many of the reasons you list in your review, Josie. Excellent, as always.<br /><br />But what really, really jumped up for me was Hannah's "the grass is greener" comment. I could see it being taken literally (any colour will, indeed be more intense in reality) and figuratively, although Hannah herself would have no idea what she really said. I found it interesting that after Hannah made the comment, Michael went off in the Green World to find some beauty in LA.<br /><br />Another excellent episode. Since I am now watching this long past when it aired in the states, I know that we are only getting the thirteen episodes. Something tells me that is the right amount.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-73032157972268835832012-04-02T12:58:10.589-04:002012-04-02T12:58:10.589-04:00I enjoyed this one as well, and continue to be uns...I enjoyed this one as well, and continue to be unswayed from current my Green/Red theory. Certainly, this week's Green World happenings (with the arrival of threatening interlopers from Portland) seemed like Michael's subconscious attempt to resist or work through some of his fears regarding Hannah's desire to move there.<br /><br />I agree that I don't see how they can sustain the question about what's happening for more than a short season, but in the meantime, it is an intriguing ride. Jason Isaacs is certainly a compelling lead, and they often manage to hit some very resonant character notes.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-6151239071708182142012-04-02T11:10:08.003-04:002012-04-02T11:10:08.003-04:00I thought this was a very strong episode, and it w...I thought this was a very strong episode, and it was interesting that nearly all of it took place in the Green World. I'm also starting to think the Green World is the dream world, mostly because the whole serial killer plot was so huge that it felt like something Britten's mind would make up. But the ending, with the killer about to get on a plane for Oregon, just weirded me out. <br /><br />Terrific review, Josie. I'm also thinking that this show might not work as a weekly series that goes on for years, but it might turn out to be an outstanding miniseries.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.com
