hestia8Bit late with this but I was out last Saturday. Thought I should get through it before tonight's episodes :D
I am SO PLEASED there's already three series of this, but I'm sure BBC Four will make us wait for more...
Hey! That lady! She was in… Flammen and Citronen, ja? And Above Suspicion.
Gender equality in the boardroom. I love this show.
I love the newsroom stuff
I don’t like the gym instructor dude.
Oh dear.
Kasssssper, stop being an idiot, you’re starting to make progress
Katrine’s a lot more interesting than she was in the first couple of episodes
OH GOSH
THIS IS SO GOOD
It’s so smart and thoughtful and I could write thousands of words on the way the issues are approached.
This Crohne is such a bastard. Don’t give in to him, Birgette!
Oh, Kasper, be less obvious.
OUCH, Pernille, OUCH. So much for sisterhood from the Minister for Equality.
Hahahahahaha, Kasper, I told you not to be such an idiot.
She’s a journalist, you idiot! Stop telling her things!
“I have no secrets.”
”You have nothing but secrets.”
I love Birgitte’s husband so much.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh dude, Birgitte’s husband slept with the business minister! Alright, 17 years ago, but ouch.
Is there actually a Danish magazine called Stars and Royals? Amazing.
Poor Sanne. I thought she was getting better at her job!
“How did you get so arrogant?”
”Practice.”
Oh, Kasper, please be less of an idiot. Pleeeeease.
KASPER. NO. KASPER. For fuck’s sake.
Laugesen is such a shit. Such a creepy bastard.
Crohne plays bridge with the queen every third Thursday? Amaaaaazing.
YAY BIRGITTE! LOVE HER.
Oh, BIRGITTE. All the love hearts, lady.
Wait, so Klitgaard got through everything and all the selection processes for business etc without having any degrees or a Phd? Who the fucked checked?
Klitgaard. Lady. Four degrees and a Phd. It’s not exactly a small lie, is it?
Oh, Kasper. You’re still an idiot, but I sort of feel sorry for you.
Oooh, Birgitte’s first official state visit, exciting.
And her father’s coming to visit so he can hear a dissident read his poetry.
So the energy minister has managed to do a deal with the Turgisians to get them to buy wind turbines.
Birgitte talking English!
“That was before you got all pragmatic.”
”It is your privilege not to be pragmatic because you lead a party that is 1% above the cut-off point. I’m the prime minister, even for those who didn’t vote me in.”
KASPER. Stop flirting with EVERYONE.
Personal trainer dude, stop being creepy! She’s at work! In the make-up chair! Maybe she doesn’t want to speak to you right now!
More English!
Poor Birgitte’s husband.
Katrine speaks English with an American accent.
Bayanov is now comparing himself to…Mao? Not really sure that’s a comparison you want to be making, dude.
I do not like this trainer dude. Who may not be Katrine’s boyfriend but apparently can just come and go to her place at will?
KASPER. Stop being an idiot, ffs.
Birgitte’s English accent is amazing.
This is like a really good episode of Spooks. It’s like 802 without the horrendous parts.
Waaaaaait. Might Birgitte and Philip not be married?? Or is it just that they didn’t get married in church?
Oh, there it is. Blackmailing them into arresting Bayanov on the threat of taking away the wind turbine deal.
Oh, Birgitte.
THAT’S NOT DISCREET, IDIOTS.
Arresting him while he’s talking to a news interviewer! FFS, Danish police.
Wow, Sanne looks great in that dress.
Oh, Kasper. Kasper, Kasper, Kasper.
Oh, for God’s sake, Kasper, quit while you’re behind, PLEASE.
OH GOD KASPER STOP IT
OH GOD BIRGITTE
Gosh this is managing to make a press conference tense. Eeeeeeek.
YES KATRINE YES AND YES BIRGITTE YES
Amazing. Amaaaaaazing.
“I really appreciate your answer to the last question, because I’m not going to hand him over.”
YESSSSS

2012-01-28 15:14 (UTC)Thanks for the quote, I had to paraphrase from memory when I posted.
I do think that this quote here is the heart of the show, the moral mytharc if you will.
Love this show. Love Birgitte and her gorgeous, sexy, and obviously soon to be long-suffering husband.
I think Kasper's secrets (and really, childhood? Everything he has said to Katrine is a lie) are going to be this seasons incendiary cliff hanger.
Your recaps are dead cute.
