melwilI couldn't sleep this morning, so I reviewed another episode.
2.8
Oh, Tom's really breaking to pieces now, isn't he. All the 'previouslies' sum up his doubts about the service and what he's doing.
Zoe and Danny are great with their short conversation "Wasn't he the one caught with the . . ." "Yep". And Harry's weatherproofing material!
Noooooooo! Don't take Ruth away!
Soldier Tom. Don't think I really have to say much more about that *g* But are soldiers trained to give that really short, sharp 'sir'? I mean, kids at school saying 'sir' don't sound like that.
The snitch-y soldier (Corporal Woods) is almost as awful as Miranda.
Oh Danny's super-spy act in organising Harry's birthday party, with Malcolm's little touch of nerdiness - bless. I wonder if he sometimes has a little spy monologue going on in his head? You know "take the train, synchronise watches with the transport infrastructure" etc.
"They don't do designer khaki, mate" and Sam's giggle is just perfect. Oh Danny and his sometimes questionable clothing tastes.
Harry's attitude towards Tom is a little worrying. Is Harry so broken and 'dealing with it' that he just doesn't see the people around him properly. Or is it just expected that they'll all be able to deal with it? Which is kind of a stupid approach to take when it gets you shot . . .
Oh, Zoe/Ruth . . . and Danny the completely tactless.
Oh Danny is pissed because Zoe's taking over as section head - and Zoe's taking Christine's phone calls. She so knows.
I don't know enough about the Charge of the Light Brigade to make an intelligent comment here. Insert your own if you wish.
Why do you think Curtis didn't trust Tom enough to tell him more? Was he just being cautious and waiting, and then his plans to involve him were derailed by the interrogated git.
"Well, it's just you and me now" Ruth/Zoe is so so lovely *g*
I love Sam's stripy vest/cargo pants combination. I'd wear that . . . And Danny's attempts to ask out Sam by saying that Harry would be thrilled.
It seems to be a good thing that none of those soldiers sleep in the nude. The interrogation scene is really quite awful. At the beginning you're completely convinced that he's been discovered. And then you realise it's just an exercise. And then the sniveling git gets in there.
Tom's rather pissed off isn't he. And the "no one will ever know you're not real" "story of my life" is quite poignant considering he jumped on Zoe for saying something similar not all that long ago.
Curtis is nutty. He's completely self delusional really, thinking that he has the upper ground because of a book he wrote. It's obvious that they're going to protect the country before they protect one soldier with an over inflated ego.
"There's not a British soldier alive who'd take a shot at me" has to be high on the list of famous last words, doesn't it.
Oh Tom. Completely cracking up. And Harry's so hard. There's no way this is going to end well, is there?
