It might not be Baphomet. Desmond says the weather in the UK is under the exclusive control of a fish called Michael. But Desmond is not always accurate.
Billie can’t accept the fact. But Baphomet really helped the city. The thing that seems out of place is that she continues to be unemployed. Will she become an extra on the show or what? It’s nice to see Billie and Maggie wandering around the beach♡.
This arc reminds me of visiting my Dad in Bridport. Smetimes you’d go down to West Bay and the name of the pub had changed because they were filming Harbour Lights.
You don’t need film crews for that kind of thing. In the small town I am living in, you need a translator to understand the locals. “Let’s meet in the Horn” requires you to understand that “Horn” is short for “Posthorn” which is short for “Blue Inn”. Because a new proprietor is not going to change what people call their place. There is a host of places that every local knows and references by a name that is not on any map or sign and references some person or business that has long ceased to be.
It’s made it easier to explain to locals where I am living once I figured out that you just had to state the name of someone who owned the place 20 years ago.
It’s a whole renamed town you have to learn in order to speak the same language as the locals. Far worse than anything a film crew could inflict.
Oh, it’s a small town in Germany nobody knows. “Waltrop”. Maybe most notorious for a murder that happened 15 years ago at the Niehues-Kreuzung and was reported as happening there. Of course, this crossroads cannot be found on any map or mapping service because the restaurant or bar or whatever carrying that name shuttered multiple decades ago and not even a sign remains. So only the locals know where this murder happened.
My town still has a Big Tree Drive even though the big tree fell down decades ago. People still use the former location of the big tree as a landmark. “Turn left where the big tree used to be.”
Yep. Used to get take-out from there every time I took Clio to her expensive veterinary eye specialist just down the street, and then I would share bits of it with her on the drive home
Judging by the relative positions of cameraperson & aeroplane, I’d say the plane was not in any shot.* But the motor sounds might have spoilt the take.
* Unless the camera operator was using an *exceedingly* wide-angle lens.
Are we going to have this every time John adds some expository text to a page? Because that has been increasingly often and I like the aesthetics but I am sorry to say I’m growing to resent the comments.
Feeling a bit egocentric, are we Bilinda? ‘Oh Devon was destroyed because *I* prayed to a dark lord’ WEATHER DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK LIKE THAT YOUNG LADY
The biggest twist will be that all of this was just a coincidence. Baphomet has no control over meteorological disturbances.
It might not be Baphomet. Desmond says the weather in the UK is under the exclusive control of a fish called Michael. But Desmond is not always accurate.
Getting strong #foreboding vibes from that undertow sign
Not all warning signs
Same here. Not necessarily undertow, but as we know from previous Steeple runs, nothing good ever seems to happen around these cliffs.
Chekov’s Undertow, indeed.
That’s what we in the business call Chekov’s Warning Sign
Maybe “Undertow” is the name of a particularly muscular Flovoid orb hominid. And maybe those two sentences are effect and cause.
Maggie’s look is kind of reminding me of Sharon from the comic Baker Street.
Booty Scoops?
Could refer to front or back.

This is a great story, name the town!

The major landmark for directions in Marietta, Ga., is The Big Chicken.
Yep. Used to get take-out from there every time I took Clio to her expensive veterinary eye specialist just down the street, and then I would share bits of it with her on the drive home
A friend’s father once gave me directions that included the instruction, “When you get to the white house with the black dog on the porch, turn left.”
“What if the dog’s not there?” I asked.
“The dog’s always there,” he said.
The dog was there.
I don’t know what’s going on with Maggie’s outfit either, but I like it.
The beach scene required a retake after a plane with a banner “A Week Later” flying overhead spoiled the shot.
Who knows? Maybe Clotted Crime uses diegetic airplane banner messages.

Maggie’s wardrobe has a sort of “Holmsian” eccentricity. I like it.
A little Holmes, a little Marple, and a touch of The Doctor.
I do believe we’ve found the new Dr Who.
