I am very fond of this episode but I do think it is one of the weaker ones of an excellent season.

My reasoning is that I always knew where this one was heading. The choice of camera shots especially gave off clues as to who was going to be the unlucky one - and someone was always going to die in this. There is a sense of impending doom from the very beginning. Of course this assessment could also be why some people like it.

I do love the touches of old school spy-dom. The crossword, the running and car chases and especially the showing off of Lucas' and Ros' skills. The reveal of the Foreign Secretary being part of the web is a lovely touch and for some reason this episode has a certain allure on the believability front.

The continuing Connie and Harry storyline is wonderful, culminating, of course, in the breathtaking sequence as Harry gets home. The latter half of the season takes place over little more than a week and this rush and haste adds to the crazied terror that fills the last few episodes to breaking point.
