Episode 5.8 [rewatch]

[Silktie]

I quite enjoy this episode. I think it's good that they show that most religions have moderate and radical factions. But yeah, I agree with Hellsbells that these particular bad guys seemed to think rather small. I enjoy the character interactions in this one a lot, though. There are also many quotable quotes. Adam's "Tell me that wasn't us" when the Muslim is mown down is pretty funny. I particularly like the interaction between Harry and the Bishop in the church, particularly the incongruity of discussing violence in a place of worship.

Malcolm is awesome, particularly the way he takes charge when Adam is having his breakdown, blatantly lying to him about Wes to get him going again.

This episode is also one of very few where the field officers, or Adam and Ros in this instance, is not shown to save the day all by themselves. We get to see a little more of the machinations behind the scenes, and that it needs intervention at a higher level to save them in the end.
