Having a bit of trouble writing questions, could be a character limit. I'm going to try breaking it up into sections, see if that works. Fleabag: Question 1: One of my favorite aspects of the first season is the interactions between Fleabag and Bank Manager or Loan Guy as you’ve referred to him. One thing I’ve noticed upon re-watching the season with you was that in the flashback scenes between Fleabag and Boo, she never once looks or speaks to us and I realized the only other time that is the case is during the scenes Fleabag shares with Bank Manager which indicates that he is the first person she is able to be completely open and honest with since Boo died. How would you sum up your opinions regarding Fleabag’s scenes with Bank Manager and do you feel that there is a deliberate parallel between her friendship with Boo and the bond that is formed between her and Bank Manager, if so how would you describe it? Question 2: Throughout the first season it is stated that Boo’s death was an accident and that she only meant to injure herself to win her boyfriend back. Watching the season finale again it struck me as being slightly odd that in studying her expression and body language before walking into the traffic, she looks completely broken, almost as if she wanted to die. It therefore leads me to surmise one of two possibilities; perhaps she knew that Fleabag was the one who slept with her boyfriend and learning of the betrayal pushes her over the edge and deep down Fleabag knows that Boo knew, or Boo genuinely did not know, but her boyfriend cheating on her was far more of a grievous wound than everyone, especially Fleabag realized and it drove her to end her life. Looking back on it, based on the information we have, how would you interpret Boo’s final moments and if either scenario is in fact accurate, or even if what is described in the show as having happened is the truth, how deep of a state of denial do you think Fleabag was over the situation throughout the season?

The End of the F***ing World: Question 1: Like yourself I was very shocked by the scene in the penultimate episode where the show tricked us into thinking Bonnie killed James and Alyssa which for the record for the writers to put that scene in there was quite cruel. I still wonder however, if that scene was real, what kind of final episode the show would have had. In your opinion, the fact that it probably would have been very depressing notwithstanding, how do you think the final episode would have played out had Bonnie killed James and Alyssa in the diner? Question 2: Though I quite enjoyed the final episodes of the show and the overall closure it had, I can’t help but speculate what will happen next for James and Alyssa and also Bonnie. I imagine if they were to do a third season, the primary plotline would be a trial for Bonnie in which James and Alyssa would most likely be called in as witnesses, during which we would spend time learning what has happened in all three of their lives since the second season. Would you be interested in seeing a third and I would imagine that it would be definitively the final season of this show in which a plotline such as the one I just described occurs, or are you content with the ending that we have for the show?

The Hobbit Trilogy: Question 1: Judging by the response to your last Hobbit reaction I would venture a guess that it’s a pretty safe bet to say that you will react to Lord of the Rings. If you are going to react to Lord of the Rings, would you be reacting to the extended cuts, or as was the case with The Hobbit, due to how long the films are that it would be easier to react to the theatrical cuts? Question 2: Throughout you’re reactions to the Hobbit so far, you’ve stated that you do not have the strongest recollection of Lord of the Rings. I’m curious what do you know and/or remember for certain about Lord of the Rings?

An honestly friendly suggestion - take a run at editing your questions. They are very, very long. Try and be more succinct and to the point, perhaps. A lot of your questions are your views on the episode, rather than a question to Jess.

Ian Smith

Classic Who: How effective are you finding the animated reconstructions;and is it easy for you to became as involved in the stories when they're animated? The Brigadier - do you feel as though he's becoming part of the Doctors 'team'? Who has been your favourite female character of the 2nd Doctors era so far?

Paul Hayes

A Classic Who one... Now that you’ve seen all of the so-far released animations, what’s your view on how much liberty the animators can or should take? I know that The Invasion was slightly spoiled for you by their little tease at the end of episode one, although I don’t suppose they ever imagined someone would one day be watching it blind. How much licence do you think they should have to improve on or change things? Do you think they should stick as closely to what would have been on-screen as possible? Or do you think it’s different depending on if it’s filling in gaps in a story where other episodes exist versus when it’s a completely missing story? I think the Macra certainly benefit from seeming a lot less ridiculous in the animated version as opposed to the surviving clips, for example. But how much improvement is ‘cheating’ in a way?

For Agents of Shield. I am wondering about your thoughts on season 6 and 7 in respect to the end of season 5 knowing it was maybe going to end there? I know you said you like all the seasons (as do I). Forgetting for the sake of this question that season 6 and 7 are more content with characters we love, do you like where the series ended after season 5 better or worse than the end of season 7? Are there some characters (and their stories) that you prefer the end of season 5 to that of season 7 or vice versa? Lastly, while I enjoyed the last season so much, are you as disappointed as me that we did not get to see Ward? I am as big a fan of his character as you, almost makes me understand your love of Cersei. (almost) ; )

So - a question on Fleabag - I've seen Bill Paterson in plenty of roles and he's definitely putting on a very specific performance as the father in Fleabag. I've been wondering if his performance is hinting that he's suffering the early stages of some sort of dementia after his outburst dropping the tray in episode 4 and his inarticulate speech at the restaurant in the last episode. Not to take anything away from the monster that is the Godmother - but I think there's more to his portrait than a bumbling inability to stand up to her. Any thoughts?

George Teed

The End of the F***ing World: 1) How do you feel about how, while season 1 had a complete ending, season 2 still decided/was able to take us on a different journey that furthered the fallout from the first season and deepened the trauma that was experienced. Did you enjoy being able to see the characters grow throughout this season and were you happy with how they ended up in the end? You mentioned in your finale review that you could have expected them to part ways but, personally, I do like the hopeful note they decided to leave off on. And I'm glad they decided to explore the aftermath and not just finish the show on the climax. 2) On the topic of future seasons, I think the creator said that if she were to do a third season it wouldn't be for a while as she would be interested in exploring where the characters are at as adults. With how the show left off the characters, I wonder your thoughts on how these characters might be in their futures together. And, in the end, do you think their attachments to eachother resulted in being healthy and good, actually. Fleabag: 1) What do you feel about how the show demonstrated Fleabag's guilt over Boo's death. Fleabag basically has no-one to really talk to about it in her immediate social circle as it's very internal for her, and the show is also very internally told. 2) What do you think about the father's character, and his poor ways of communicating/expressing himself? In a way I feel sympathy for him, since you can tell he wants to have more of a relationship with his daughters, yet rarely can find the words or, more often, is being manipulated/dominated by Olivia Coleman's character. Do you think their relationship could have been healthier while Fleabag's mum was still alive? 3) What are your thoughts on Claire choosing to believe Martin over her sister? Do you think it is just mainly about her perspective on the whole Boo situation or is it more about the way Martin is in general. Whether or not she believes Fleabag about the kiss, she still clearly knows that her husband exudes a lot of shittiness that she has been willing to turn a blind eye to so far. Supernatural: 1) With regards to Sam talking about wanting to go back to college after finishing hunting the thing that killed their mom, I feel like Dean wouldn't even necesserily mind Sam going back to school -- but, as long as Sam would keep in touch with him. Because I think when Sam *did* go to college he not only broke off contact with John but Dean, also. And so I wonder what you think about how the brothers each view the time that they've been able to spend together hunting during the past few months. I'm certain Dean has several abandonment issues given what we've seen/been told about how John raised them, so I feel like Sam's level of eagerness toward the idea of returning to his studies didn't help Dean to not feel rejected, despite the fact he obviously wants the best for his brother. Anyways, thoughts on their perspectives? 2) Sticking on that scene, what do you make of the slight parallel between Sam's "you have to let me go" to Dean, while John later in the episode tells Sam basically the same thing, only this time he was on the recieving end of the conversation. And also that maybe, despite Sam's commitment to wanting to hunt down this creature, he does also on some level just want the family to be back and stuck together again, like Dean does too. 3) What do you make of what you have seen about how John raised his sons, e.g. routinely leaving them alone in a motel for half a week while he went off to hunt. And what do you think about the damage that that has left on Dean's character especially, since he was left to not only be Sammy's big brother but also practically a responsible, surrogate parent too. And I do also wonder how Sam could feel guilty about 'wasting' Dean's childhood (which, of course, is John's fault, not Dean's) 4) With these MOTW episodes (and shows in general, a la X-Files or Buffy), do you tend to get more engrossed in an episode depending on how compelling the human characters are or on how interesting/scary the monster of the week is? Or the overall plot of the season. Orrr is it just more of a case-by-case basis than that? :P
