Spooks Rewatching: Episode 2.10
Another episode - last one of season 2 . . .
2.10
AKA - most confusing show ever.
So there's this guy, watching a gangster movie. And these guys come in, wanting him to kill an English man. But he has to be dead to do it . . .
Yeah, that's the kind of episode this one is.
Dreamy Tom and Christine - in slow mo. He's really going to regret burning it. And that look on
Christine's face - is she evil or not? Is she in on it or not?
Oh poor Zoe. She always wants to play things by the book, doesn't she.
Christine and Zoe seem to have an interesting conflict. I think they're probably of a similar rank, and they are both striving for Tom's attention and approval (in different ways, of course)
I can't imagine the amount of forethought and legwork that must have been needed to set up Tom, and Christine and Zoe and Danny and anyone else who got caught up in this. It's an absolutely huge spider web of stories.
Did Hermann Joyce know how fragile Tom's mind was at this point? That it was just the right moment to strike?
It's interesting that it's Ruth that Harry turns to. I suppose he realises she has strong allegiances to Tom, and he has to get to her, to turn her his way as soon as he can.
I wonder if Danny stopped trusting Tom so quickly because of the way he treated him - the one who always got into trouble. He didn't regard Danny as an equal the way he did Zoe.
The way Zoe says 'You're a liar' is such a mirror of Maisie saying it, back in 1.1 or 1.2
You call that a beach?
That episode which required at least two or three viewings the first time around is much easier to understand now I've seen 3.1 and 3.2. But it's still a gut wrencher. It's hard to say too much about as well, because it twists so much.
