Episode 8 Discussion

[Lizziecaro]

What a brilliant episode.

It was definitely edge of the seat stuff and the cliffhanger was something else - there are potentially 3 people dead, Roz, the HS and Lucas (the force of the explosion threw him up pretty high and far (I know that the camera angle exaggerated this - but lets pretend it's real) his should have been seriously injured and don't forget shrapnel - have just noticed a picture in the Radio Times of Lucas landing on the pavement which could imply he's not seriously hurt, so only 2 dead? Shame about the new HS, I liked him too (I didn't think he was the villain type - he was an overt green - bike in the office - the writers were giving a clue as to his character which ran counter to Harry's suspicions). On a practical note - Roz would have found it easier to drag the HS if she had got him onto a sheet or a bed throw - sorry!
Nice also to confirm that SC did fall for Lucas and couldn't kill him.
Agree with the comments about banter between the staff - it was good to have it back - particularly Roz's comments about Bolivia - priceless!
I think both Roz and Lucas had great stuff to do and say and the increased info on Tariq's back story. Roz will be sorely missed - she has been brilliant this series and was developing a great working partnership with Lucas.
The BBC must commission another series - there are so many character developments and plot lines to go forward - Nightingale still hasn't gone away - that was only one plan they had and there were a lot more countries involved especially China.
