Episode 1 Discussion

[Silktie]

Now that I've seen all the episodes, this one remains my favourite by some distance. It's the only episode that had real emotional impact for me. And it's not just because Harry and Ruth are my favourite characters. It's also that the stupid Sarah/Lucas thing dragged down the other episodes for me. And where in previous seasons I was really moved by other characters' fates (Danny, Fiona, Colin's deaths all brought a tear to my eye) it just didn't happen in this season, because they didn't do enough with the characters to make me care about them.
