What I am worried about is, was this tears in the wind scene setting us up for Harry having a break down in series 9? If Ros and/or the HS do die, then there will be hell to pay professionally and emotionally for Harry for sure. The tears in the wind scene will then come in to play and people will say well Harry wasnt really coping before the/their death/s was he.....one to ponder

I've watched this twice now and that "tears in the wind scene" really bothers me. I'm thinking, as several of you have already said, that this is NOT in character for Harry. How many thousands of unknown people have been killed on his watch? To cry about potential victims is not something Harry Pearce would do. Also, the choppy editing leads me to believe that whatever the scene was really meant to be about was lost on the editing room floor.

What annoys me to no end is that the writer and director mucked up a perfect opportunity for a meaningful H/R scene (a la the earlier office scene). Give them some decent dialogue, please, and don't allow Harry to become unhinged in a totally unrealistic manner.
