Episode 6 Discussion

RE: Episode 6 Discussion
Christine 2.0 did not kill herself.Angry First sound (a click) was her releasing the hammer of the gun; second sound was the door slamming as she left.

Now that that's cleared up,Tongue this was the best ep of the series so far, imo. We finally know what's up with Nightingale (a CIA op, naturallyUndecided), and that C2.0 is involved up to her fluttering eyelashes. All those "honeys" aside, she is a seriously evil woman! And she's finally been unmasked.

I loved Ros in this ep -- still conflicted about Jo's death, needing to save Baisley to prove something to herself (her own self-worth maybe?). The scene with the bank pres and the chain lift was great -- she was going to stop at nothing to get what she wanted. We're starting to see her famous steely control start to fracture. And she is getting reckless, much as Adam did after Fiona's death
Spoiler: show
which I think may be the set up for her exit.

Really felt for the HS -- ensures the country's financial stability and is, ironically, brought down by rumors of financial impropriety. Terrible way to go out, as a disgraced politician. But he was noble to the end and his last scene with Harry was poignant. Great acting by RG -- hope to see him back at some point.

Harry seemed to spend most of the ep worrying, about Ros, about Lucas, about the HS. He's watching his team self-destruct and lost one of the few bosses he's ever admired and/or trusted. Then Ruth asks him if he wants to have a drink (go RuthBig Grin) and it takes him a few beats to figure out if he's heard right! But Tariq screws even that up. Tough ep all around for Harry.Confused

We did get a good bunch of quotable quotes:
Ros: Nice little holiday in Algeria. Spot of water sports.

Harry: Saving Baisley won't bring Jo back
Ros: No, be nice for Baisley though.

Ros: I believe Saddam Hussein was a client of yours. Regular saver was he? Prudent?

Harry: Tariq, cometh the hour, cometh the geek.

Lucas: Is that all? Can't we just break the fundamental laws of the universe?

Is it my imagination or did both PF and HN look particularly haggard in this ep?

One of the things I found most interesting in this ep was the obvious focus on people lying (something we've discussed throughout S8 eps). Ros underscores that when she says: "Yes, I lied. I lie a lot. I have to." Harks back to David Wolstencroft saying his original intent in creating Spooks was not to do a program about MI5 per se, but about how spies cope with living lives that are essentially lies.
