Bomb Girls

[Davep]

As far as the bomb factory not looking like what "you would think" it would look like, take at look at the real thing. The fact of the matter when making high explosive, items are manufactered and keep apart from other componets for obvious safety reasons. This video is of the Canadian Defence Industries Limited

As far as any wartime drama, give it a change and form your own opinions.

It also streams on Global.ca the day after a new episode is aired (so, Thursdays) if you don't mind watching from your computer.

Oops, Miss Laurie, I think I cc'd part of the end of your post. Ah well, the url is there again.

Great video, Davep! I think we were commenting on the representation of the bomb factory in the promotional stills for the show back at the start of the thread. With the technicolored outfits, etc, it really looked more "I Love Lucy" than "I build bombs."

Bringing up bombshell...wWhy was the episode called that?

And when are they going to start wearing stockings from the 40s instead of those JC Penney stay ups with the black lace spandex tops? And didn't they have slips in the 40s?

Anyone else notice that there is now a "red shift"?

I think there were always different shifts, after all Lorna is a shift matron. They probably had those factories going around the clock.

And wasn't Edith fired? Then all of a sudden she's back, no explanation (that or I missed the explanation, I'm forgetful).

I thought she was totally laid off. I think episode 1 and 4 should have shown back to back with how the show is cut it would have made a stronger first two episodes. And what's with the guy sleeping with the rich girls co worker for "experience", and then after she finds out he has "the clap" she decides she wants him more than she ever showed in the past and also wants his mistress to be treated too.

Anyone else notice that the Italian was fired as a security risk, but can still easily walk on and off the BOMB MAKING FACILITY in the latest episode?

I do think we've now seen two rather glaring continuity errors. I also did notice the problems with costuming in relation to undergarments in the third episode (when Gladys rides up on her bicycle, we see clearly that she is again wearing those lace topped stay ups, with no garters and no slip! Since they got the undergarments right in other scenes, I don't "get" why they insist on having Gladys continue to wear those anachronistic stockings (I guess this is another continuity/accuracy error: we are told they are rare french silk ones but they are clearly more modern nylon ones, which is made evident when she is shown pulling them on in the change room; also, since she's shown GIVING THEM to another gal in a previous episode, how did she get another pair?) Ok, maybe we're being fussy, but I just think if they're going to do a period series, they should attend to the details a bit more, after the manner of the BBC, etc.

Matt Deckard, where is that image from? Is it a fan sketch of the show??

 

[VintageBaroness]

Bomb Girls is back for 12 more episodes ("season 2"). As for season 1, I must admit I found the episode directed by Anne Wheeler to be the one I fomore "polished" and well acted. Should be interested to see where they take the series and the characters. I've read the producers of the show have put a call out to find actual surviving 'Bomb Girls' to interview. I hope they did that before writing the earlier episodes, too?

 

[Matt Deckard]

Okay... when is the second season?

Might be a while. I just read that the writers just sat down to write Season 2's 12 episodes in late April. ;/
