Episode 6.3 [re-watch]

[A Cousin]

Edited to add - In my enthusiasm, I think I posted this too early - sorry! Feel free to delete it!

I'll be the pushy American and start this off.

Malcom goes out in the field alien hunting, Ros smells something rotten in Denmark and Harry get his "K" and a psychological assessment on the same day!

Discuss....

OK - I'll start.

One word: Malcolm. Love this episode for him. HS is lovely in it. I also like how Adam stays with him. Sure he lets him think he is gonna die for longer than he needs to, but Malcolm really proves himself to himself.

I love the scenes with Harry and Bob. "Maybe it was a cat?" In fact, I think Matthew Marsh is one of the best series long guest actors they have ever had. You just never know where the team stands with him. Is he helping? Is he not? It's a constant guessing game. For Harry and for us. Harry doesn't trust him any farther than he has to.

Harry's psycholigical assessment. Chocolate Buttons - lolololol!!!!!!! I wonder if this is before or after Jane Featherstone asked NW if she would like to come back to the programme?

Ros & Yalta - meh. Adam & Ros - meh. Adam & Anna - meh.

Rupert Walters script. I always like his stories. His scripts are always thriller/suspense oriented. He clearly likes writing for Malcolm and Harry in particular.

This is the episode where the camera work starts to be very distracting to me. There were moments where it just feels like the director (Charles Beeson) is showing off.
