[spoilers] Sir Harry Pearce 2.0

[Silktie]

Geez, I just wanted to hug the poor guy throughout.

What I found interesting, was that he still made the hard calls with very little hesitation, despite being majorly depressed and sorry for himself. And also, like JHyde said earlier, his state of mind is not only about Ros' death and her funeral, but is a culmination of the many, many horrible things he's seen, done and lived through until now. I think some of the cracks already showed last season, so it is little wonder that Ros' death was the straw that finally broke the camel's back.

I think the hand over the face during the scene with Blake was because he couldn't bear watching the effect of his terrible deed - as he says later, he's tired of feeling that he's covered in blood all the time.

I have one nitpick, though. In real life it would never have been someone on Harry's level that would have had to make the decision about the electro-magnetic pulse at the end.
