[spoilers] Sir Harry Pearce - Return of the Jedi (#3)

[beatrice4ruth]

Why would Harry want to retire to a house that Ruth had not even bought? The only logical place for him to go back was the Grid, where he and Ruth had shared common convictions and true love.

I was bothered by the portrayal of Harry as a “dupe” of Elena for 30 years and the increasing unraveling of his decision making in series 9 and 10. At least Kudos allowed him to remain an honorable man till the end and to never cross the line the way Elena did.

Harry did want to retire, not because of Ruth, but because he was burned out and was making serious mistakes of judgment. As he said to Ruth, he knew it was time for him to retire. He will go on working stoically and fully committed. However, will he become again his former self, ready to fight with a clear head those bent on destroying the realm?
