Episode 1 Discussion

[saucybetty]

I'm glad I'm not alone in my feelings about episode one. I previously liked Ruth and was somewhat of a H+R 'shipper, but this episode made me feel manipulated. From the moment the new husband appeared on screen, I knew he wouldn't last to the end of the episode (I put the kid's odds at even). Something in Ruth has definitely changed, as it should. None of us are the same person we were just a few years ago. But I'm not sure if I like this new Ruth. And why did Malcom have to leave?


Also I'm a little bit bored by the fact that the new CIA officer is a) a blonde b) a female and c) the de facto love interest for Lucas for the season, I'm sure. Snore. When did Spooks get so predictable? The only interest for me now will be to see who they get to replace Ben/Connie/Malcom. I bet they only add one cast member in lieu of the three.
