No one in UK knows: US SoS (Clinton)?
yes, necro thread is necro. sorry.
First let me say this series is some of the BEST CrackTV ever, and I'll be really sad when I get to the end (thank you Netflix for having it stream-able!) I know I'm three years late on this..... but seriously. How hard can this be? At min 19:00 Lucas says, "The Americans are taking care of matters regarding their Secretary Of State, HE is staying at Chequers with the PM, right?" uhm. That would be Madame Secretary, Hillary Clinton. "She." Not exactly an unknown global entity. I hate when simple things like this pull me out of an otherwise brilliantly acted, directed, produced, and usually well written episode. Am I to believe NO ONE on that set knew better? Not at the table read? How did no one catch that??? We're talking smart people educated in the UK, who are exposed to global news, not ignorant Americans. Come on! Was the episode shot before December 1st, 2008 when she was nominated by President Obama, or Jan of '09 when she assumed office? I mean, so far, it seems as though President Obama is written as Lord Voldemort - he who shall not be mentioned by name - which is kinda weird, seeing as Bush Jr was mentioned previously. But to ignore "the new regime" to such an extent you even get the sex of the SOS incorrect? That's just lazy. |
