The Identity Thread *spoilers*

Quote:We never got to know the real Martha and all of a sudden in the final episode, she seemed to fancy Bloom out of nowhere and was possibly suffering from some sort of break down having contemplated killing herself. Where did this all come from? Why on earth would Anthony let Bloom get away with murder? He hated him. None of it made any sense.

Completely agree here. An even worse culprit that Robin Hood was for random plot lines that make no sense whatsoever.

Still doesn't stop me from wanting to find the good bits in Keeley's character because, well... because it's Keeley And I genuinely did like Tessa.

Part of what bugged me about Keeley's character was the very fact that they gave Martha all this baggage. It seems to me that they think it is completely unrealistic for a woman to be successful in her career without all the excess, so they feel the need to pile on the things like the needy and kind of pathetic crush on Bloom (and thus letting him get away, quite literally, with murder), the depression, possible loss of a child(?) and the suicide hints in order to bring her back down. Which for me diminishes her strength as a character, because since we basically never see her in the field - it's always wonder-boy-can-do-no-wrong Bloom who gets the action stuff while Martha flounders helplessly in a bookcase it makes me wonder how exactly she got to be DSI when there's no evidence shown, and thus I don't think she's a good leader, which really she ought to be at her rank.

Just saying.
