Fridge Logic in action

[charamei]

A perfect example of Fridge Logic:

Got to the end of the episode with the only question on my mind being 'Why is this episode on iPlayer three days early?'.

The second the credits rolled, I thought, "Hold on, only four people died in the whole world while the Door was engaged?"

Even in the hospital/the local area, that's a bit of a stretch...


I am somewhat irritated by Nina's pastede on yay tragic past. They'd better be going somewhere with this. Somewhere that isn't just puppies, I mean. Trouble is, Being Human has a tendency to insert things like that and then never mention them again.

But, ooh. Werepuppies!

Maybe it's a Very Local effect (on the other hand, maybe there was a crop of walking dead in many places and we'll hear more about it soon ... but I doubt it).

Nina was already established as an abuse survivor, in season 1. I don't remember how much it was mentioned in the script, but she had scars on her back before George scratched her. And like she said, when is a good time to talk about it?

Well, if there were more of them, presumably they've all decayed to re-death by now. It's a shame, because it made for a refreshingly different plot.

Ah, fair enough. I really don't remember season 1.

It's true, there is never a good moment to brig it up - but I'm always wary when something like this suddenly appears in the plot. Shades of too many bad pieces of fiction where it's only used as a tearjerker at a critical moment. As I said, I'm hoping they're going somewhere with it. Doesn't have to be anywhere special or angsty, just... somewhere.
