Episode 1 & 2 discussion

[Nia M]

Oh he was, but I think that the fact that they were both vulnerable contributed to them getting together. Neither of them (understandably) like to show weakness, and as is later stated, 'pain is weakness'. And Ros also says 'I don't do emotional incontinence', yet Adam saw Ros at some of her mosst vulnerable moments (not only when they were drowning, but also during 5.1 and 5.2 - when he shows her the pictures of her father, "What'll happen to my father?", etc.). Likewise, Ros has seen Adam in some of his weakest PTSD lapses, so in that respect they're pretty evenly matched. I like to believe that it's these shared moments of vulnerability (particularly when they're not likely to show these moments to anyone else) that helps bring them together, and ultimately both to recover.

And I thought it was only when Ros was working with her father and co. that Adam didn't trust her. Once she joins 5 she is indebted to him, and actually wouldn't have anything if it weren't for him offering her the job. If he didn't trust her then, why would he invite her onto the team?
