Series 9 Episode 3 discussion

[A Cousin]

The BBC lists Dr Kirby as Donald Sumpter. He also plays Kemp in Being Human but has had a long and distinguished career going all the way back to the late 60's.

Late and tired and have to work tomorrow (I mean today!), but quickly....

I liked the filming. It was very cinematic. Some of the composition of some of the shots were just gorgeous. But they didn't distract. Not for me anyway.

The plot felt a bit...um...familiar to me in places. Maybe it was intentional? Not that it was like any one earlier episode. Just that it was an amalgamation of many plot ideas that have come through before rather well put together and filmed beautifully.

Character development: I really wanted more re: Lucas/Vaughan in Africa but I'll give it time. I still don't think I know anything more about Lucas - and I really want to.

Nice give and take in the H/R plot but I will save that for another thread. Harry nearly took her head off in the beginning with his "Questioning my decisions?" line. Yikes! They have to have a strategy indeed! It was all good stuff but not over whelming to the threat du jour, I thought it rather complimented it.

Finally! More from SRB as the HS. A bit abrupt but clearly Harry pissed him off somewhere in the last two episodes. So, yeah, maybe he is seemingly running the country. I'll go with it.
