7.5 [Re-watch]

[SweetTea]

This was my first rewatch of this episode and I remember Meynell giving me the creeps and I felt really bad for Ros and what she had to do. For some reason, Meynell's face made me think of Michael Jackson's face, but I'm not exactly sure why. Just something about the narrow nose and small eyes, perhaps.

I'm glad (and I think, so was Harry) that Ros was the one to speak with Jo. Especially after what Ros had to do with Meynell, it made what she said to Jo more meaningful. I know that Harry and the guys (Lucas, Adam, et al) realize what other pressures women in the service face, but they can't truly comprehend what that would be like.

When Connie heard Hugo's voice saying that she had been quite precious to him and he never told her, I really did feel sorry for her. GJ and PF both did so well in that scene.

I liked seeing Selina Cadell as Gillian Calderwood. I'd only ever seen her as the neutoric Mrs. Tishell on Doc Martin and I almost didn't recognize her without the cervical collar.

The final scene between Harry and Lucas where Harry realizes he's be screwed over by an old friend is fantastic. Harry's trying to keep his face neutral, but even Lucas can see the look of 'oh f*ck' under it all.
