Series 9 Episode 4 discussion

[Jackdaw]

Last nights episode was the best so far this season. We saw a glimpse of the old Harry back. Witty, in control, protective and still compleatly in love with Ruth. (I must have replayed the "sorry about your lips" and "fitted with a cow bell" scenes about 50 times at least on my sky plus box. Infact its getting that bad I actually know the actual minute to locate said scenes on. In the word of Lucas North "I need to get out more".

Speaking of Mr North, Ok I have never been a Lucas North fan. Sorry to all his little army of fans out there. I loved him in North and South and Vicar of Dib and even in Strike Back. I convinced myself that my dislike of him grew from the fact that Adam Carters team was my fave. But we now have Beth and Dimitri who in my head have repleced Jo and Zaf and are doing a bloody fantastic job of it.
I look forward to scenes and strorylines with them in it. But with Lucas its so damn boring. There was more sexual tension in Harry and Ruths phone call than there was of them snogging and in bed together. The writers need to cut there losses with this character. Its just the same old crap.

As for Ruth. How the hell has section D coped with her absence is beyond me. Why is everyone so suprised that Ruth can cope undercover. Other than Harry himself she is the only one who can do every job in the place. Not only is she a genius but she can improvise along with the best of the field officers, and there is no limit to her bravery, loyalty and sacrifice. And unlike some members of the team (LN) she can carry this without scowling every two minutes and constantly displaying a chip on the shoulder attitude.

I apologise to LN fans who have taken offence, but im so bloody frustrated with his romances and the lack of Harry and Ruths its unreal.
