Is Jareth a spy?


I just get this vibe about him.

reply

I doubt it. Maybe he and Stevie will get married and she'll no longer be a regular on the show.......wishful thiking.

reply

It's doubtful. Perhaps, the British sent him in to covertly push issues to Madam Secretary. Especially since he may end up marrying her daughter.

I don't know if that's what you would consider a "spy", but I could see countries doing that.

reply

I get the vibe something was off with him too.

reply

Considering someone hacked the sons computer does raise at least a little suspicion that it is someone whom has been around all three kids. Remember Bess said someone has been photoing our kids.... The Brit was with all three of them many times.

reply

Nah, he's moving to England. Not much of a spy to show up and leave. Besides too obvious.

neither liberty or safety

Hmmmm I was thinking that! Something not right about him time will tell

Well, he certainly is not from the aristocracy of Britain. He, or the writers of the show made the worst "tea" error in Season 3, episode 4. No long-standing member of the British aristocracy would EVER pour milk or cream into a tea cup BEFORE the tea. Only those who were too poor to afford porcelain would ever do such a thing. Cheap crockery would crack from the heat of boiling water, so the lower classes poured milk or cream into the cup first, to prevent it from breaking. This behavior was a sure sign of someone not "to the manor born." There is a scene in Downton Abbey in which a former housemaid, now married to a man of great wealth, comes to the Abbey for luncheon and directs the servant to pour milk in her cup before the tea. All at the table glace knowingly at each other. If Jareth's mother is Lady Southerland, with a manor house in the UK and a chateau (chateau in French means castle....not villa...a chateau is a big deal)in Provence, she would never make such an unforgivable error, let alone try to shame the petite amie of her son into repeating it. So, he is either a spy or a fraud or the writers just do not know anything about any other culture and have only seen Dickensian characters pour the dairy first. I have to say I have been often horrified by earlier mistakes they have made, such as pronouncing Qatar so that it sounds like Cutter.

That could just as easily be writer error; happens all the time with these kinds of things.

I don't think he's the hacking spy, simply because he doesn't really seem...important enough? To warrant the shock and dismay that the preview for next week showed. Accordingly, I don't think he's central enough that they'd entertain the idea of just letting him go (which the last scene clip showed).

Dear IMDB: I refuse to use your new emoticons.

reply

I hope so as I don't really like him.

reply

More like the writers are Americans, and most of the viewers are Americans and wouldn't notice the difference. I'd never put milk or cream in tea anyway.

reply

I know. To me, the thought of putting milk in my tea is just... stupefying.  

reply

Re the tea pouring I am Irish and my grandmother emulated the English in Boston that she worked for. WE always pit a teaspoon in the teacup to absorb the heat ... maybe because she didn't have porcelain .

reply

I doubt it. Mom is former CIA, and Secretary of State. Dad is still working in intelligence. It would be the stupidest plot twist EVER if the BF turned out to be a spy and they didn't know.
