BaaLocks

People who make up words by putting together two other words. Vlog sounds like a very big poo to me. 

I'm sure this has been covered before but people who video moments on their phone that they should just enjoy live. Last night went to a concert and when they did their most famous song you couldn't see the stage for people holding up phones. Why not just enjoy the moment rather than losing it only so you can watch a hazy recording once (maybe never).

I did, some more ranting. 
- One of the prime points of accusation is the fact that an organised crime gang wear balaclavas, just like paramilitarys did in the city where Hastings grew up. Rock solid!
- What on Earth is a 'computer disposal' shop - with a big sign on the door that says 'computer disposal'? If a senior policeman had compromising information on a laptop why would he hand it over? He'd take out the hard drive - smash it to bits with a hammer. You don't need to go to a 'computer disposal' shop to do that.
- Since when did lawyers start assigning policemen to undercover operations? It's just beyond ridiculous to even suggest it.
- In the fourth series a senior lawyer declined witness protection because he said that the criminals would find him anyway, he said he was dead man walking if he took it. But someone more senior, more influential - a key cog - seems to think that would be OK and goes to live in the UK in a terraced house (I get the point, fall from grace and all that).
- Hastings has just been within a whisker of losing his job on threat of accepting bribes and was in some huge moral quandary over whether to return the money. But apparently he was only worried about returning half of it and the other half he is prepared (strongly suggested) to hand over to the bereaved wife of someone that he is implicitly linked to the death of. It just beggars belief that this would happen.
- In a clue that Ted Rogers would have been proud of on 3-2-1, apparently a dying policemen when being asked to spell out a name of the corrupt policement, decides to tap out - out of line of sight - four times and then have the policemen understand that while four dots is morse code for H it is also four and while the whole inside gang are so clever that nobody knows the name of the leader even relative small fry like Cotton know that there are four people to be caught.
- The young lad who applies for police cadet school is accepted even though he has been hanging around with criminal gangs for years (including two murders). I'm not saying they would know that but I find it very hard to believe he has got that far entrenched without one single conviction.
- The convicted criminal, Lisa, who all but admitted to accessory to murder, is left to go talk to (junior) school children - I doubt she would pass a CRB / DBS check - immediately on the hazards of organized crime. Just take a moment to think - what would she actually say to those kids? 'don't raid police depots kids, it's not the life for you'.
- Finally, the most ridiculous of the lot. The police force are so rotten that the security guard on the door, the lawyer and the junior police officer taking notes are all on the payroll of the OCG. Yet they still carry on looking for one single person - the elusive H. If you knew your police force was so compromised that you could put a team sheet up of officers associated do you think it woul be allowed to continue to operate? It's just ridiculous, even in the context of a Sunday night bit of TV to assume it's just a case of 'oh well, we might have a bit of a problem but let's just crack on, it'll sort itself out'.
Can't wait for the next series.....

binged Line of Duty on Sunday night having not watched S5. I agree with the above. Flogging a dead horse now. This season was really a David Nugent.

Not to mention that 2 witnesses were given immunity from prosecution, yet not one person was prosecuted as a result of the evidence provided!
A series too far.

I know I'm like a Keogh lover on this one in that I think I am the only one who sees it. Anyway, in addition to my previous rants and aware that there is something a bit wrong with getting so obsessed on this I just wanted to highlight just how poor Line of Duty writing is this season.
- So you are a senior policeman, living in a shoddy hotel. Someone gives you £50k in cash in a brown envelope marked 'Personal' (in itself - more corny than a tin of corned beef). What would you do with that money? Well, if you are the senior policeman apparently you just leave it out on your bedside table for days and hope that the minimum wage maid doesn't take a peek. Really?
- You are a senior policeman investigating an undercover criminal gang who have killed at least two police officers. You know that there is a senior corrupt police official working with them but you have no clue how. Without any knowledge at all what do you do? Turn up at their hideout and pretend to be that officer. Really?
- You are a crack surveillance unit monitoring a criminal gang in their hideout, one that can set up in the office opposite at the drop of a hat. Just recently you let your prime suspect escape in a car park because you didn't know there was an additional exit. What do you do? Well, without spoiling it too much, the bad guys escaped via the back door. Really?
- You are looking for a suspect in an assault of the wife of a police officer, the officer is from Northern Ireland with history in policing there. She says the accoster had a strong Northern Irish accent. So you pin all your hopes on the fact that someone lived in Belfast till they were ten and make him your only suspect based on that. Really?
As Jimmy Cricket would have said (also in an Irish accent that would have made him AC-12s prime suspect), there's more, but let's leave it at that.
In general, so poor....

Ashes to Ashes wrote the book on how to end a series. Best last episode of any series ever.

Absoutely - I'm a Derby fan, this sort of self inflicted torture is what I have lived for since John Middleton was in goals.
