Herman Joyce's Setup - Nitrus - 30-07-2009 01:59 PM

I thought this storyline was executed tremedously well by the production team. They had a lot of angles covered and it really made for some GREAT TV!

What did you think of the storyline?

I thought the mental problems of Joyce's daughter were kind of ambiguous. It not an essential point, but as I tried to understand what drove Joyce to such lengths in framing Tom, it is a point of curiosity on my part.

It was a great plot almost worthy of a comic book super villain. Come to think of it, it was pretty much a comic book villain origin.

I've just finished watching this episode and I really like it, it's amazing the lengths you would go to if someone hurt your child as Joyce showed. I always feel sorry for Danny and Zoe in this episode, they looked up to Tom, he was their role model and suddenly they are faced with the realisation that he could possibly be flawed and not the person they trusted and depended on, all in all a good end to series 2!

Yes that was quite a cliffhanger. Definitely made me watch the next series. I think showed some great acting as well.

This storyline was billiant, I love it! I watched the last episode of series 2 with my father, we were so hooked, that we have to watch the next episode, though I have no subtitles, but I managed to understand most of it; it was a mess because my father don't understand English so I have to translate him lol (I've rewatched it just in case I had missed sth important) Tongue

Definitely a brilliant story line. It did show the relationships of everyone on the team clearly, especially the relationships of the team in relation to Tom (and Harry.) It also neatly brought in
Spoiler: show
the next character, Adam,
and really showed off the skills of the team (especially their counter-surveillance!!!)
