Episode 6.5 [Re-watch]

[Silktie]

Well. I really hate this episode. Could they have laid the melodrama on any thicker? The whole Adam/Anna/Ros debacle rises to unbearable levels for me here.

On top of that, Adam (who I love) is being an idiot and led around by his, erm, nose most of the time. Meanwhile, Ros has the gall to criticise him all episode and accuse him of duplicity for still seeing Anna, whilst actively betraying her country by planting bugs on the Grid for some shadowy group that she knows almost nothing about. What a hypocrite. And as for the excuse that she thinks at this point Yalta is still helping, if she were so sure that their motives are pure, why is she sneaking around behind everyone's backs? Why not just come clean and use them, without betraying her country in the process?

Geez, at this point only Jo is still trustworthy in terms of the field officers.

Poor Ben seems to have no personality whatsoever. I also found that little speech Jo gave him about the difference between journalists and spies rather patronising.

I did think the story about the US selling Iran faulty plans was clever. Pity it was drowned in all the other nonsense.
