Series 10 - Episode 6 Discussion

[Deanlad]

I am not the greatest wordsmith, and certainly not as constructive as some of the episode/ series dissections been posted here - it was a few years since I got my grades in A level English literature ;-)

But As posted a few posts back, H&R had not had much focus on their relationship in the whole series, as said, a glance here, a few words there, a smile and knowing look,and we perceive it as the whole love story.

It is a very very powerful tool that writers have, when they only have to hint at the start of an event, and they leave it to our minds to detail the conclusion.


Yes it was galling they did not leave the service together, but I supposed they condensed years into moments. They were free and together for that few minutes on the beach until Sacha changed it all.

But we saw Ruth pass, we saw Harry grieve, we saw him "sort of" come through the other side and go back to what he does best...

Suppose they did get their happy ending.
What would have happened, 2 years later, we get another series comeback.
Some faction group, come after Harry - we know he has enough enemies. How would they strike? Probably at Ruth...
And then it would start again. Dream gone, Harry would probably go back to section D, hunt down the perpetrators, blah ,blah blah.
It's a tried and trusted formula of Kudos/ Spooks.
