And how many more in the 15 (?) years he was Section Head prior to the show picking up? 30 years of it has to wear away at you or at least shut you down completely, which is what is happening to Harry.
Tell me a story, Nia! Pretty please?

Guys, sorry to step in here, but I think this discussion has veered into character territory rather than episode 8. You'd be better off taking this over to the Harry thread.

i have to say though the efefct of the explosion wasnt great! i mean look at the cracking one adam got ros's was rubbish but i guess a car bomb is easier to deal with!
i wonder if this is the end of the nightingale sinario

Anyone else noticed the kind of irony that both Ros and Adam died (potentially) in an explosion?
I've been considering drawing that parallel in a fic for a while, just never got around to writing it yet.
RE: Episode 8 Discussion - Kazters - 09-07-2010 08:13 PM
yeah both trying to get out of one as well! (adams looked better)
RE: Episode 8 Discussion - Nia M - 09-07-2010 08:55 PM
It did indeed - fantastic special effects there.
But anyway, we digress

we do i think thought that well i hope we see her at least once! i wonder they were right beneeth the bomb but she moved him i wonder how far?
RE: Episode 8 Discussion - Nia M - 09-07-2010 09:04 PM
By my calculations (and by what was said), they were a floor away (I think they were on the floor below) from the bomb. From this image, the bomb went off in that corner of the building, and yet when you look at the scene from the episode they're a fair way down the the corridor. If TPTB want Ros & HS to have survived, I reckon there's enough scope to let them live.

i think i might have to pretend thats the case ;-) it is possible she went in the other direction! she knew where she had to get to!
RE: Episode 8 Discussion - Nia M - 09-07-2010 09:32 PM
Also possible that they did manage to get down onto another floor at some point. Unlikely, but possible...
