Was anyone disappointed at the end of last night's episode?? How did Sal Meti's wife die? (I know she was in her car and was poisoned but how?? - I was out of the room for 2 minutes for that part as the largest ship in the world was leaving the port at that time (really) and I had to have a look at it). I thought it was a bit of a let-down. (Messiah, not the ship) I am also feeling grumpy today so that doesn't help. ARGH. Off to get a coffee now. And something with sugar.
Yes I was a bit disappointed Susan, I didn't think it was a patch on the first 2. Sal Meti's wife was sitting in her car keeping a vigil on the hospital her husband was in and the baddy ( don't want to give away any more in case anybody's videod it) fed a hosepipe into her car and she died of carbon monoxide poisoning.I couldn't really understand all the whys though - who killed Kate's family and why?
I think whoever killed Kates family is almost irrelevant (or more likely - subject matter for Messiah 4!!) I was more taken with the first episode than the second. It seemed it just got a bit silly in the second. Don't know why... but I still love Ken Stott!!
I think having the news plonked in the middle spoilt it a bit. There was only 30 mins left of it to watch! It's bad enough having it split over 2 days.
I have to say I enjoyed it though. Much better than Waking the Dead.
I'm not 100% sure but i think that Boris Starling only wrote two "Messiah" books, so I think this third installment might have been specially written for TV which might explain its weakness compared to the others
Messiah 3 was a let down, within the first episode I knew who was behind the murders. Doesn't compare to the original Messiah - now there was a classic! That actually had real storyline supporting it. Did the BBC just make it for the sake of making it? It wasn't up to the high standard set by the first.
