Season 3 of Luther will Introduce “his Moriarty”

alucifer:

1. “[T]he the scripts for the new season are close to being completely done, and they’re currently searching for directors.”

2. “[E]xpect 2 or 3 new characters to be introduced, although he won’t say more, other than one of the new characters, a baddie most likely, will be a real huge challenge for Luther (he kind of dismisses the previous Luther baddies as blips, suggesting that this new baddie, to be introduced in season 3, will be his most formidable to date; we can only wonder what this character’s make-up will be - Luther’s Professor Moriarty, likely just as mental, except he/she will use his/her *powers* for evil).”

3.”[D]on’t expect the Alice storyline to return in any sort of significant way (he says she’ll still be in the Luther universe, but suggests she won’t be of much influence on anything or anyone; he reiterated that they’re trying to set things up for the “bigger picture” and there’s a possibility that Alice’s story strands come back if/when the feature film is made; but don’t expect to see much of her in season 3).”

4. “[W]hile he couldn’t give a date as to when season 3 will debut, he said that they aim to produce all the episodes this year, so that the series is back on TV as soon as possible.”

The strongest characters in the story are female. I like to think of the duel between the two mothers of the competing families, Catelyn Stark and Cersei Lannister.

David Benioff (Executive Producer/Writer)

They seem diametrically opposed in many other ways, but they are both women who are driven to very extreme actions to protect their children.

It always seems impossible when you start casting these parts, but when we saw Matt and Jenna together, we knew we had our girl. She’s funny and clever and exactly mad enough to step on board the Tardis. It’s not often the Doctor meets someone who can talk even faster than he does, but it’s about to happen. Jenna is going to lead him his merriest dance yet. And that’s all you’re getting for now. Who she’s playing, how the Doctor meets her, and even where he finds her, are all part of one of the biggest mysteries the Time Lord ever encounters. Even by the Doctor’s standards, this isn’t your usual boy meets girl.

Oh.

Tbh, I am really tired of companions needing to be mysterious or super special. I miss when they were just regular women who didn’t have some sort of important destiny but who discovered the potential they had inside themselves all along. ~Mysterious~ is not a character trait  I’m going to find interesting, sorry to say. I mean, we saw how well that worked out with River Song.

Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it. And what could be more terrifying and beautiful, to souls like the Greeks or our own, than to lose control completely? To throw off the chains of being for an instant, to shatter the accident of our mortal selves? Euripides speaks of the Maenads: head thrown back, throat to the stars, “more like deer than human being.” To be absolutely free! One is quite capable, of course, of working out these destructive passions in more vulgar and less efficient ways. But how glorious to release them in a single burst! To sing, to scream, to dance barefoot in the woods in the dead of night, with no more awareness of mortality than an animal! These are powerful mysteries. The bellowing of bulls. Springs of honey bubbling from the ground. If we are strong enough in our souls we can rip away the veil and look that naked, terrible beauty right in the face; let God consume us, devour us, unstring our bones. Then spit us out reborn.

When students covered their eyes with their clothing, police forced open their mouths and pepper-sprayed down their throats. Several of these students were hospitalized … One of them, forty-five minutes after being pepper-sprayed down his throat, was still coughing up blood.
