RE: Episode 7 Discussion
Any discussion of this episode has to begin with Ashley Kumar as Ashok -- extraordinary well-acted, especially for a one-time appearance. This kid was absolutely outstanding! I loved that he called Lucas out every single time L tried to give him the "thousands will die if you don't help" argument. And though Ruth worried that "He's just a boy . . . He has to take the risk, a 17 year old boy has to take the risk," Ashok wound up becoming the conscience of the ep:
To Dhillon: "You've become what you hate" To Lucas: "Victor played him like you played me, liar man." I was also pleasantly surprised that he was still alive by the end of the ep -- nice change of pace! The new HS -- who would appoint someone that young to such an important position? Harry's right not to trust him, imo. As I was listening to him lecturing H about why the attack "can't happen," all I could think was "what presumption." Is he part of Nightingale? I think yes. Poor Tariq --lost his MI5 virginity! "We killed him" -- T's learned that it's not all geek speak and toys for the boys. A couple of nice, but fleeting, H/R moments: Harry: "It's not nothing, Ruth, and I'm glad you're here to remind us. To remind me." Ruth: "It's the right call, really" -- and touches his hand. (Her unspoken meaning: "Yes, I do understand and it's ok.") Is Ros suspicious of Lucas? She asks him why C2.0 didn't kill him. Also, no apparant disciplining of Lucas by Harry re last ep -- why? And we finally know what Nightingale's immediate objective is -- nuclear war between India and Pakistan. "What is the truth?" "Betrayal is a cancer. Let it eat your soul, not mine." "Please tell me this isn't going where I think it's going." |
