Episode 3 Discussion

[SNAFUGuy]

Sorry brand new here. I'm an American viewer and I really love the show. It is one of my favorite shows on TV by far.

I haven't commented before but I just watched this episode and though I thought it was well done. As always the dialogue and story line were riveting though I was disappointed to see Jo die, she was my favorite character by far.

I found the inaccuracies to be glaring. First off any intelligence officer is going to know when confronted with a target holding a trigger device for a bomb, a head shot through the mouth is how you kill them. The distance between Ros and terrorist Jo was holding was close enough that this should not have been an issue. I really found that to be below the normal standards of realism you see in the show.

I may be a little more critical because, as I mentioned, Jo was my favorite character in the show.

Second thing is that they portray Americans in a really bad light. I was wondering is this the general regard that the UK citizens view America and it's intelligence services or do you feel it's ramped up in the show as a plot device? Hope someone answers as I am very curious to know.

Over, all as usual a great show. Sad to read that season 10 is the last one. I will miss it sorely.
