Series S9 Spoiler: show

It all really took center stage this series. But I think they handled it rather well from an individual character POV. However, for the first time, it was a main theme in conjunction with the Lucas plot. Or it should have been, IMO, until the Lucas "thang" took over like the creature from the black lagoon. Which is why I think they should now just let them "get/be" together and then ignore it and let PF and NW get down to it.

It's as though now the writer's are paying it some attention and the two of them are told to act it, it has lost something. Despite several incidents of them looking into each others eyes in series 9, they couldn't reproduce the moments of electricity in the Havensworth corridor or the one in the grid corridor after NW's scene with Lindsey Duncan.

Series S4 & 5 Spoiler: show

My own opinion is that by the time we got to the 4.9 hallway scene the directors at least were on board with the H/R idea. Certainly by 5.4 both director and writer were all over it. For me, both of those scenes were written with very specific H/R intentions in mind. But I see what you are saying about the natural chemistry prior to.
