Absolutely. I just can't believe it.

If this is where we are posting about episode 3 then my answer is NO. It may be 1.15am and I have had quite a bit to drink followed by episode 3, but I really didnt like it and it pains me to say that. The camera work was again very annoying and there were too many close up shots. Why do we need this?

Spoiler: show

It didnt add up.

I am hoping that with a clear head in the morning that when I watch it again I will not think it so bad. Again I hate saying that.

I don't think it really kicked into gear until the 30min mark.

Have to go sing at a wedding, where I will probably bore my accompanist silly with talk of Spooks.

Loved the decision to let Ruth out and keep the camera on Harry listening to her right at the end of the episode. You can afford to do that when you have Peter Firth in your herd.

Mixed feelings. I'll come back in a few days and really just, GO NUTS.

almh, we miss you xyz

I'm with Tea Lady--not happy with this ep. Too many plots and sub-plots (hostage taking of the billionaire's club, Harry and Ruth, Lucas and another Russian -- in a Speedo, yuck). One hour was not enough time to develop all the different threads; felt very let down by the writers.

Some nice R/H moments:
-H and R patter at the beginning -- "You, come with me." Such a gentleman, lol.
-H: It was either that or a basket of muffins.
-H: I'm going to need you today, Ruth. R: Damn well hope so.
-H: Glad to have you back. R: Glad to be back. Great acting from PF -- just a suble little hopeful smile.

The nod from Jo to Ros, giving Ros permission to kill her, was very well acted and directed. Poignant moment.

Spoiler: show

Absolutely hated the end -- Ruth outside the office crying, Harry watching/listening and not going to her. For me, that undid the whole opening between them. Someone should smack him across the head with a 2x4!

And why is the Grid so empty? -- it looks like they're having a going-out-of-business sale.

This episode left me very unsettled.

I have to agree with Tea Lady - perhaps I need to rewatch with a clear head but I thought it was far too all over the shop. The bit I did like was how dismissive Lucas was when Sarah phoned him! Ep 3 was a big letdown for everyone waiting for "The Claridges Scene"

Episode 3 - wow - I do not know what else to say about it.

Link to download anyone? (I'm just trying to get to 10 posts so I can answer my PMs.) But really, is it online yet?

AS IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR NEW RULE, THE ONLY DOWNLOAD/STREAM LINKS ALLOWED ARE YOUTUBE LINKS. ALL OTHER LINKS WILL BE REMOVED AND THE MEMBER WARNED.

As for the episode:

I knew Jo was going, but I could never have guessed it would happen like it did.. surely Section D needs some new Spooks? Only two field officers left?

Really liked the ending, the metaphor behind the scene with Ruth and Harry separated by a wall.. fantastic..
