oh well...


Just another BBC tv-show where the weak little anti-hero piss-ant, is in fact the hero - what a friggin' surprise!


BBC we get it, you're all gay, lesbian or transgender, and you "guys" don't like strong male leads, but this insanity have to end now.

Wow, did all that squirming give you a whiplash?

The cowardly accidental hero archetype has been a staple of comedies of all countries since comedies were first written.

And at this one turned being an accidental hero into a profession. :-)

I thought we were referring to Elijah Wood's character. I don't see Dirk as either a hero or the protagonist. He is essentially a plot device. Hilarious but not the hero.

Hrm. Good point.

But at the end of the second episode, Todd at least seemed to be getting into the idea... briefly. :)

Still, I've come to the conclusion that if "Everything in the universe is interconnected, and I'm forced to be the one person to solve a situation in which I can't escape, and I WILL end up solving it by whatever random coincidence happens," only then will I realize that I'm a main character in a work of fiction.

Nope, you're just a plot device. I'm the main character. 
