Episodes 1 & 2 [re-watch]

[lwhite53]

I'd forgotten how much I loved these eps. This is writer Ben Richards at his best -- just pure, unadulturated spooks; action-packed, tense and edgy, very slick, great characterization and a terrific threat-of-the-day scenario.

I loved that everyone had a part in the eps, and even Juliet was portrayed sympathetically (and this was before she was cut down by the flying car door). Colin's death was chilling and Malcolm and Adam's "smile" scene was absolutely heartbreaking. Harry/Juliet and Harry/Ruth scenes were brilliant and I simply loved Zaf, the action figure.

I have a couple of questions:
1) Why didn't Angela kill Harry?
2) Why didn't Juliet know who Collingwood was?

The only thing about these eps I have reservations about was the introduction of Jenny (the nanny) because

of what ultimately happens between she and Adam. This was a poor choice of character arc, imo.

BTW, there aren't any commentaries for eps until late in this series.
