I finished watching Foyle's War (ask me what I should have been doing instead), and the last episode--well, until the rumored eighth series--features Andrew Scott (Moriarty on Sherlock) as the most EMO POW IN THE WORLD. He is going to let himself be hanged for treason because he is so traumatised by the bombing of Dresden he just wants it over with. He stares out the little window in the interrogation cell at the sun and refuses to talk to Foyle but cries a single tear when Foyle mentions his mother.

It's fantastic. I mean--this is some old school angstiness right here. I just want to roll around in that character.

Wait, there's more Foyle's War than what's included in the big box set of episodes? How did I not know this? Gah!

The box set only covers through season 6. Fiddlesticks. I'll have to get the 'final' set now.

Yes, there's a series seven. It's on Netflix instant. And there's rumors of another series in 2013. I think the show's kind of lost its edge by now, but DAMN, I appreciated that Andrew Scott plot line. It's like if you took the bit where Moriarty was pretending to be earnest, but he ACTUALLY IS that earnest. It's awesome.

I'll probably end up watching it on netflix since the dvd set costs almosta s much as what I paid for the other 6 seasons. Sheese.

He's a very talented actor. Have you seen him playing Richard III in that Shakespeare special? Gave me chills.
