katikatAaaaaaaaand I'm done with Cabin Pressure. Listened to Paris, Qikiqtarjuaq, Rotterdam and St. Petersburg.
I think that the last one, St. Petersburg, is my favorite episode, maybe of the whole series. It's the one where their engine explodes and Martin lands the plane and they realize that Martin actually IS a good pilot. And Martin and Douglas are great in this, they complement each other so well in the cockpit, in all seriousness. And it's kinda awesome. And the way they all work together, like a family, sticking it to Carolyn's ex-husband... Wonderful.
The most hilarious quote?
You know what else was awesome? In the episode Qikiqtarjuaq, when Martin finally broke down and told Carolyn just how bad his financial situation was - and she realized that, even though they loved to tease Martin, this wasn't really funny.
My heart broke a little when he asked to be actually paid...
I loved how she went all quiet after that. So, yeah, no wonder there are so many angsty!Martin fics out there. He actually IS a pretty angsty character.
So, does anybody know when the next series will air and if Benedict Cumberbatch will be in it? What with him being so busy with his movie/TV career... Without him, it wouldn't be the same.

Douglas: Well on the walk round, though brief, I did notice one small problem with the otherwise entirely airworthy plane.
Martin: Yes?
Douglas: It has an Arthur stuck to the side of it.
Or...
Arthur: Here you are, Skip – nice hot cup of coffee.
Martin: Oh, it’s cold.
Arthur: Nice cup of coffee.
Martin: It’s horrible!
Arthur: Cup of coffee.
Martin: I’m not even sure it is coffee.
Arthur: Cup.

So I live in a horrible attic in a shared house where I'm the only grown-up - all the other five are students at the agricultural college. I've been there nine years now - that's three generations of students! They pass me on to the next lot like a sort of friendly ghost - "Oh, are you living in Parkside Terrace next year? Well, listen, there's a pilot in the attic, but don't worry, he never bothers anyone." I can't afford to go out, to buy nice food - I live on toast and pasta - sometimes, for a treat, I have a baked potato! So just... so you know, I'm not asking because I'm greedy.
