Preposterous guff Archived Message Posted by scrabb on December 9, 2019, 12:47 pm, in reply to "Re: Glenda Jackson" Unfortunately I watched the whole thing. It didn't engage me for a minute, and then to discover it "was all a dream" -- ie, she'd been suffering from dementia all the while so we (the audience) were misled about what was happening was the final straw. Some of the dialogue was unbelievable. Would a daughter use the "f" word to her ailing 80-odd year old mother? One of the first lessons you learn in writing fiction/drama is you never end a story with ".... and then she woke up" because it's plain cheating. You can have the most bizarre plot events and never need to explain them because they never actually happened in the first place. What a waste of time.
