IMO - January 4, 2007 01:11 PM (GMT)
First of all congratulations to everyone here for keeping this a Spoiler Free Zone. Thanks to the spoilerholics who have stayed away in the Aussie section and the rest of us who have managed not to read the spoilers definately deserve a massive pat on the back - or a strong drink :unsure:
Anyway this thread is open for discussion from 10.00 pm onwards tonight, before then keep manic countdowns to the Countdown Thread.
Enjoy :)

Booooo yaaaaaaaaaa...... as Guy would say :P
Actually I only started it early as someone was asking where they went to discuss the ninth episode, otherwise I would have started it much later.
Oh heck now I've broken my rule about no one posting in here til after 10 pm. Opps. *runs away*

CupboardLady - January 4, 2007 11:31 PM (GMT)
He's half smurf!
Aww- poor Boyce. Poor Guy.. Poor Martin!!! OMF I can't believe it's nearly over!!

Three words:
What. The. f*ck.
Sorry for the language, but really, what on earth?
bex - January 4, 2007 11:49 PM (GMT)
:sob It was just soooooo sad - i really wanted his diagnosis to be a mistake and the could be happy together forever! Bittersweet!

CupboardLady - January 4, 2007 11:50 PM (GMT)
She flew? There's hope for Guy! That can't be it! It can't be!
bex - January 4, 2007 11:50 PM (GMT)
Yeah the ending was VERY bizarre!!!
CupboardLady - January 4, 2007 11:51 PM (GMT)
What about Alan and Joanna and Boyce and the Office Girls....

that sums up my entire reaction!!
her floating away like that completely ruined it!!!
...and what happens to Mac?? :cry
Aww I never thought I'd say this but I am really happy for Caroline and Mac ...and theres still hope for Guy!!!
IMO - January 4, 2007 11:53 PM (GMT)
Dis-a-ppointed
Really really disappointed. Too much of the camper van :rolleyes:
Can't believe they've left us thinking that Mac's going to die - it's not fair.
However, loved loved loved the way Mac proposed to Caroline :wub: I will now go off into a happy land where Mac gets the all clear from the illness that has an 'a' and an 'e' in it and I will live happily ever after.
Can't wait to see the alternative ending on the DVD.
Ashleigh - January 4, 2007 11:55 PM (GMT)
I hope that alternative ending makes more sense than the real one did!!
...I did NOT get the point of Joanna and Alan walking starkers into the ocean...and what about the girls?..
but MACCC!!!!! someone PLEASE tell me that they are ripping the piss and that we're getting an explanation SOMEWHERE
Jessa - January 4, 2007 11:56 PM (GMT)
not as good as some previous...but my tummy still did a flip when mac said 'wife'. It's not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :sob
bex - January 4, 2007 11:56 PM (GMT)
I know - that was far too open ended for me - and her floating away was not believable at all! The proposal was soooooooooooooooooooo cute though!!
Coolkitten12 - January 4, 2007 11:57 PM (GMT)
OMF that was so sweeet, i couldnt help but cry! that was a brilliant episode! yey caroamc but with hope still for Guy! but i cant believe they left us like that. that didnt tie everything up!!! there has to be more somewhere! mayb in a few years, yuo never no! but mac only has weeks to live, oh thats so sad :(* but there was too much alan and joanna for my liking! and poor everyone! i tjhoguht martin was sweet! :cry :sob
PeeWee - January 4, 2007 11:58 PM (GMT)
Apparently the alternate ending would have been used if there was another series because I was more open.
How can It be anymore open!
guyoline - January 4, 2007 11:58 PM (GMT)
oh my ficking god i can't ficking belive it!! noooooooooooo that was not allowed that was not fair
but guy!!! oh my god i'm gonna scream soo much i'm in tears :)

QueenGW - January 4, 2007 11:58 PM (GMT)

I have to admitt I teared up!! when Caro went round and kissed Guy...then what she said to Mac... :cry SOO CUTE!!! and Boyce and Alan after that...I was in TEARS!!!!!!!!!!! :P (it's true though!!)
Dr. Baroline Trodd - January 4, 2007 11:59 PM (GMT)
Oh, I was disappointed too...I think after all the plugging for Guy done in series 2, they realised it had to be undone to make Mac and Caroline seem more of a happy ending...which it was, but GUUUUUYYY!! They made him into a complete arse for all but 2 scenes!
I know he was always an arse. But you get me, I'm sure. It annoyed me how lovey Caroline was in front of him to Mac!
Alan and Joanna actually really saddened me despite them not being my favourite characters. Boyce and Alan! Poor, poor Boyce.
They obviously didn't really know what to do with the Office Girls (that sounds like a popband...)
The balloons bit actually annoyed me quite a lot.
Still...for something so long I don't think they fitted enough in!
I may cry for some time now.
Hi, by the way! I'm quite new.
xxxx
kittyofdoom - January 5, 2007 12:00 AM (GMT)
I'm sorry but I was expecting so much more from this episode, it's like the writers went away after episode 8 and somebody else was given episode 9 to write, with only a couple of the character's catchphrases to work from. Very poor.
Coolkitten12 - January 5, 2007 12:02 AM (GMT)
hi Dr. Baroline Trodd! i just went on the channel 4 website, they have clips up already!
http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/m...as_special.htmlbut there hjas to be more, i cannot be left like that! this is not fair, i am not satified!!!
IMO - January 5, 2007 12:03 AM (GMT)
The gay camper has the same shirt as my other half. Should I be worried :unsure:
Can I just say again that there was far too much Alan and Joanna bits. And I really wanted to see a big fight between Mac and Guy, where was it.
Ahh, but the proposal was lovely. And Martin had some good bits in that episode :)
Ohh and the handbag shooting was brilliant - classic Sue White moment there :thumbsup
bex - January 5, 2007 12:03 AM (GMT)
Im not satisfied either - too many questions still lingering!
QueenGW - January 5, 2007 12:03 AM (GMT)
i thought if it hadnt had to be the end it could have been much better!!!
i know what u mean about guy - he was HILARIOUS but COMPLETELY different from episode 8!
Ashleigh - January 5, 2007 12:04 AM (GMT)
its worse than getting someone new in to write one episode. it's like they got a bunch of monkeys in to do it!!
the more i think about it the more disappointed I am with the ending! I cannot believe they had her floating away like a twat at the end.
I thought the entire point of this episode (and the length of it) was to tie up of the loose ends...instead it's just added to them!!
Dr. Baroline Trodd - January 5, 2007 12:04 AM (GMT)
I'm glad others are disappointed, I thought it might just be my obsession with GUy...my last post sounded quite a lot like I hated GW. :o
I really don't. :P
Still, obviously buying the DVD!
CupboardLady - January 5, 2007 12:04 AM (GMT)
Guy in a kilt but it's waxing owls!!!! it makesa no sense!!!
bex - January 5, 2007 12:04 AM (GMT)
I liked that guy yelling at Boyce 'dont you fucking dare interrupt me' and his face afterwards - classic!!
Jessa - January 5, 2007 12:04 AM (GMT)
and we still don't bloody know Mac's bloody first name!!
rather cleverly done tho.....
IMO - January 5, 2007 12:06 AM (GMT)
Can I just wave hello to kittyofdoom. *waves* where have you been we've missed you <_<
Did anyone else want to hear the other four Mr & Mrs questions :)
QueenGW - January 5, 2007 12:07 AM (GMT)
i liked it.........except the end? i dont kno i keep changin my mind
i love alan and joanna but there was too much of them!!!
wt do ppl think shud have happened at the end? not just carguy/mac i mean like how they shud have ended it?
Dr. Baroline Trodd - January 5, 2007 12:08 AM (GMT)
So would have loved to see those IMO! Guy was terrifying in that scene though!
''IT'S NOT BLOODY ALRIGHT WITH ME!!''
*scary...but powerful.*
