There aren't half as many light-hearted remarks or laughs between the team as there used to be and this made me feel like the show had lost something. Thank god for Ruth's return as i swear the majority of the emotional/moral scenes we saw were hers. (She obviously made the series for me though. If we removed Ruth from this series it would have felt utterly bitter and empty for me.)

I never thought about this, but now that I do I think you're right. Without Ruth, s8 would have been lacking any warmth -- it would have been almost robotic.
