Episode 2 Discussion

[Silktie]

I loved this episode. The main story about an energy crisis is very timeous, and I could empathise with the rolling power cuts. We had those a while back over here due to power shortages, and it is extremely disrupting. It had a huge economic impact and a lot of people lost their jobs.

Loved:
- the interplay between Ros and Jo, almost every discussion they had they were saying one thing whilst making each other understand that they would actually do the opposite.
- the flashes of humour, there were some great one-liners in this episode.
- Harry being a miserable sod because Ruth was mad at him, and everyone around him knowing this. Lucas' quote that Harry chose his frown with his tie each morning was brilliant.
- The discussion between Jo and Ruth.
- The interaction between Harry and Ruth. Blimey, those two are really awful at the whole communication thing! I loved Harry's bumbling effort at making things right with Ruth at the beginning, and then saying she knows his limitations when it came to these things, and Ruth's resigned look indicating that she does indeed, lol. The mutual apology was very sweet.
- I like Tariq so far. A bit of double standards with Ros moaning about his t-shirt though, erm Ros, Adam used to wear them all the time but it didn't bother you then, lol.
- Glad they didn't sweep the whole Ruth is supposed to be dead and a traitor thing under the rug, but that they showed Harry sorting it out with the Home Secretary.
-The kid is a goner, thank you TV gods! And Ruth was never really married - that would explain why she didn't have a wedding ring. Also, that probably means she hadn't been with George for that long?

Hated:
- Sarah Caulfield still. Also hating where they're going with her and Lucas. Please Lucas, you're smarter than this!

I agree that the Americans probably told the Russians that MI5 took out the slimeball.
