Fiona - friend or foe?

[JHyde]

It's an interesting point a few of you have made about how unbelievable she and Adam seemed together. This is something I have not thought about (not being married myself) but I just think that intensity is in keeping with who they are on the show. Adam is a very intense person behind his 'let's see how it all crinkles out' demeanour and Fiona has always struck me as a very passionate person - I disagree with those who characterize her as bland.

I always think about what Adam says in that wonderfully written scene with Carmen Joyce in 3.1 - that it's like being locked in a room together, working for the Services. Carmen rejoins by saying it can be so intimate. I'm sure we've talked about this elsewhere on the forum at various times, that is, does being in a relationship and doing the same sort of dangerous work bring about this sort of 'intimacy' as Carmen puts it?

I do find it interesting that some people who don't like Fiona are crazy about Adam and that surprises me more, I think. It's also interesting to note that both on here and on 'Adam's women' thread people have trouble talking *just* about Fiona.
