RE: Episode 8 Discussion
This is one of those things that the show's writers and producers ignored or embraced when it suited them. For example, all Home Secs (and Foreign Secs) were fictional characters, but there were times when dialogue clearly pointed to Blair as being PM (think Harry's comment about drafting in Jamie Oliver in season 4). There was also a strong indication in season 9 that there were new administrations in both the UK and the US (Obama's trip to the UK, codenamed 'Lighthouse' and the new Home Sec and his 'new crowd' - remember that when season 9 was being put together Cameron was a shoo in, although of course that race ended up being much closer than was first indicated).
I'm OK with this. It grounds the show in some reality while fictionalising what they had to. I probably would have preferred they get the gender right here for the pronoun too, but it doesn't bother me the way it does you, bardgal. There are fictional universes that don't stick together anywhere near as well as this one, and I can't be accused of bias here being Australian. It's close enough that it remains believable when it needs to be. Many thanks to Tyger for a terrific signature |
