Episode 1 Discussion

[JHyde]

I rewatched this episode last night for the first time in about five weeks and it doesn't lose its intensity. I swear the sunshine in "Greece" cuts me like a knife, and her smile while Ruth's talking to George.....God, it breaks my heart. And because you know what's coming, the anticipation makes me sob a bit. Let alone when you get to "you know nothing about compassion."

And just NW'S face when she's walking toward the phonebox - unbelievable. You can actually see her weighted down just being back in London.

Depending on what the finale is like, this may still be my favourite episode of the year. Fantastic though some of the later ones were.
