Series 9 Episode 8 discussion

[BoHenley]

Apologies accepted, Nitrus. Thank you. 37 pages of discussion over one episode is pretty daunting reading.

And I agree, Bravo. It's from a WRITING perspective that S9 was so frustrating, irritating and ultimately unsatisfying (sorry). As a writer (part-time), I wouldn't dare try and not link in previous information - an Editor would laugh and probably drop me as a writer! Concealing info - okay, the character dying (or did he?) - no problem.

But, without a doubt, I was glued to the screen to see what happened, and they pulled every emotion they could - particularly with the threats against Malcolm and Ruth - to make it work. It's the Lucas=JB that didn't. Lucas with a dangerous past (pre-MI5) would've worked better.

But back to the Episode 8 thread: It's the 48 hour delay that has me interested. Why 48 hours? It seems as if Harry's organised something in that time, and it's possible Harry could've helped fake Lucas's suicide and lied to the Home Sec - unlikely, but possible, and there's no body. I hope Harry's altered some of his old "projects" (like Beth did to hers) so we can have him on the Grid ASAP.
