Series 10 - Episode 2 Discussion

[molecatcher]

Another superb episode with so much going on. How poignant was that moment when Harry asked Elena what sort of person Sasha was and the scene cut to Sasha strangling his colleague in a similar style to Harry murdering Adam's killer. Talk about like father, like son! I'm sensing Elena is setting Harry up and don't trust her motives one bit.

I've got no worries about Ruth's involvement because she's just doing what she's always done like a terrier with a bone, she's not going to let go. Harry won't discuss Sasha with her so she finds other means to get to the bottom of things. I wouldn't be surprised if she plucked a hair from Sasha's head at the first opportunity and organised a DNA test!

I found myself willing Martha to get away from the Russians and then felt her utter betrayal when Harry told Erin to burn her. Harry's still capable of being ruthless inspite of his emotional turmoil and just for one second I didn't like him at all. On the other hand we had Gavrik being genuinely concerned about Martha's gran in the nursing home and Erin's obvious struggle as she paid her off and left her to her own devises. Those writers know how to set my emotions into a spin!

As for Tariq, well that hit me the way Colin's murder did. Frontline spooks know the risks but techies shouldn't expect to get killed so it was all the more sad.

I made the mistake of switching on to ITV+1 for Downton Upstairs/Abbey Downstairs at 10pm. No contest, Spooks wins hands down!!
