A small point, but I would have expected a more traditional cutaway or Prince of Wales collar. You were never see an establishment type figure wearing a tab collar.

Don't say that! I love the great man's shirts! Lol! I've been looking for them all over. Also, on Harry's wardrobe front, is that a new overcoat? It looks fresh, perhaps replacing the one he lost at the hands of Viktor Sarkisian? Very swish, shall be looking for one of those too!

Back on track:

Excellent opening scene, the contrast between Ros' explosive death and Ruth's (of all people) reading at her memorial.

The proposal was very Harry and Ruth, I noticed somewhere before, fans were speculating if he would just come out and ask, as is their "thing", and he did. Ruth's explanation at the end, about them being as close as they ever could get, was one of the most romantic lines I've ever heard. How sad am I, eh?

I'm disappointed they didn't go into the Blake/Nightingale connection, it seemed there was no logical explanation for it. Why force him out in the first place? Surely him being Home Secretary would have helped Nightingale more, with his reach and influence, etc.

Also, I did see Harry drinking some of the whiskey, but I don't think he swallowed it, perhaps he only wet his lips with it? They would have shown us Harry putting something in, surely?

I'm going to let Beth and Dimitri have a few weeks, but they look interesting. And did anyone else think Tariq looked quite pale in some scenes? Maybe it's just the light, but I noticed it around his eyes.

Nice new layout of the Grid, but still no pods, just an added door.

And finally, Lucas...


Hmmm....


Sorry for the rant, but I'm very excited, and sorry if I've copied anyone else's point, I haven't read this whole thread yet, just the last post!
