Series 9 Episode 2 discussion

The point of view stuff was so Kurosawa, loved it.

Love the Beth character, love that she is not emaciated. I'm somewhat placated since Ros is now gone. She fills the gap. Sophia Myles is so Kate Winslet, I use to think she was Kate in the first couple of times I saw her in other projects.

I would have the next episode open with Harry and Ruth waking up together, nothing too cute mind you. We can then move from the longing (which is wearing a bit thin) to them trying to keep the secret from the rest of the team, spending a few moments together over tea and variations thereof. Peter Firth and Nicola Walker can play it straight (the straighter the better) while the team looks on slackjawed and we laugh ourselves silly.

Iain Glen looks wonderful with some flesh on him. He was so thin for Wives and Daughters that it took away from the handsome. Tariq is prettier than ever. Don't know who the new guy is yet but he did a great job.

I thought it was very cool that Lucas was able to instantly memorize all those numbers on the security cameras and his exit scene with the cams being turned back on as he passed was lovely. As many have mentioned the "white guy, long coat, briefcase" description over Harry walking out (after the great transfer scene inside) was chilling. I'm guessing most of us can deal with just about any of them being taken out except Harry.

Face it, Lucas and Beth are an accident waiting to happen. Maya, why? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy​yyy?

And Yeah Simon Russell Beale!
