[spoilers] Harry and Ruth Strike Back

[molecatcher]

Just read through this thread for the first time and wow, how brave are nitrus and picard to dare to argue against HR getting together, which was after all one of the questions at the top. My turn to get shot down in flames now because the way I see it in Series 5 Ruth pulled back from getting involved with Harry once the grid found out about their dinner date, walked away from him in that hotel corridor when she had an opportunity to grab him by the hand and drag him into her room and finally stopped him from telling her he loved her on the quay. So I reckon nothing's changed and she is too principled to see him compromised in a relationship while he's so busy keeping the nation safe. Everyone may want them to be happy but their sacrifice makes for a superior poignant and heart-rending storyline. Don't get me wrong, I'd have a big smile on my face if they ended up in each others arms but it wouldn't last ~ my smile that is.
