One of the things which irritated me the most about the filmic adaptation of the Lord of the Rings was that, whenever the good guys were in a tight spot, it seemed that someone would come to their rescue in the nick of time. For instance, at the battle of Minas Tirith, all seemed lost until the elves came and saved the day (hence Legolas’ exclamation ”that is no orc horn”). This happened several times during the films, and it irritated the hell out of me. We all know that in real life there’s no guarantee of such things happening, so tonight, with pressure mounting on CaMoron and Murdoch, it’s hard to see how either of them could get out of their predicaments. There will be no cliches, no mighty cavalry charges, just two scumbags getting their comeuppances. Both their reputations are in ruins, especially Murdoch’s, who I think can now kiss Sky goodbye. Sometimes, just sometimes, reality turns out to be more interesting than fiction.
