Episode 3 Discussion

[almh]

Ok, I haven't read all the previous posts (5 pages!) so sorry if I repeat anything. I've just watched it and it is actually seriously depressing. I vaguely guessed that Jo was going to die, but Harry ordering her to go in was actually horrible, the decision he had to make knowing that she was likely to die. Ruth's face as well just after he said that was amazing acting. I feel so sorry for Ruth and Harry, their relationship is hardly going well, just about chugging along, he finally gets Ruth back at work, first day back Jo dies and they once again see someone getting shot. They must need some serious counselling by the end of this episode.

I agree - it is numbing. Not quite as numbing as 8.1 but, to be honest, that made me feel REALLY numb. I did think that it was a good episode though, but I do still want to know why Nina did it - was it all love? That seems to be a theme for male and female terrorists working together. And also - Ros and Nina's conversation, why didn't the other people overhear???

Ros has certainly got a lot quieter - has she got a sore throat?

I did enjoy the Harry/Ruth scenes. They were just awkward enough with the right amount of tension to work. And the bit at the end when Ruth leaves is amazing - that was a brilliant idea by the script writers to get them so close, but so far. I do feel sorry for Harry though - all his guilt about Ruth is just accumulating by the episode.

Nothing else to say (I don't think!) but I'm going to rewatch it again this evening hopefully (after I've caught up on all my other tv Trips are good, but next time if they could occur when I had less tv/work to do, it would be appreciated.)
