Series 9 Episode 2 discussion

[Nia M]

- Lucas seems to have had a haircut? (* but in some scenes he doesn’t? Continuity error?)
- ‘live in the Surreys Hills’ – big grin from me down here in said place
- Two lifts at the top at once? That was lucky :/ Nice touch though
- Harry off the Grid!
- ‘TLC?’ Uh, is that really necessary? I’m sure she can handle not being shot, given that she’s a former mercenary and all. Please please don’t let this morph into him falling for her :/
- ‘Given what you said re what I said, I don’t think we should be sharing late night tete-a-tetes’ – Nooo!! The promise of this was so great, but it fizzled out into just ‘This is work’
- Nice to see the meeting room (*meeting room or briefing room? I never know which one they call it) is looking so full again
- ‘Surrey Hills Police control room’ – okay, made up police service but never mind because Ruth’s doing and accent and being brilliant at it. Someone should just give that woman a medal (or, you know, just give NW a BAFTA and be done with it ). She really is a born spook, desk or not!
- ‘Wakey wakey Tariq, bug in place’ / ‘I’m like a shark, Lucas, I never sleep’ -
- This POV thing is a really good idea. Very good way to reveal new info to us (*anyone seen the film Vantage Point?) Not sure Chapman's was really necessary though - didn't seem to reveal much else
- VXD – VX and the EERIE exercise memories anyone?
- ‘Just this once, then she’s gone. There’s no place here for betrayal’ – Ahem! Ros! Twice! And Adam was ready to sell you out to journalist Ben... Why so different for Beth?
- So that’s how B get to keep her job? Saving Harry’s life?
- ‘Westhouse is white, in his early 50s, wearing a long dark coat’ - !!! NO!! HARRY!!! OMG
- ‘Did you trust Ros?’ / ‘Implicitly’ – Aww, she gets a mention, gone but not forgotten...

Overall not sure how I feel about this episode. Not a patch on last week’s, but I don’t dislike it. Just not sure about it.
