I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY KILLED JO!! *sniffs* The worst part is that Ros is the one that killed her. *sniff sniff* I wasn't spoiled for this, so I kept thinking they'd haul her off to the hospital, but no. DEAD.

You know, this show is now seriously lacking in field agents. Didn't they used to roam around with 4 agents? Two seniors and two juniors? Okay, maybe not all the time, but they are seriously lacking. Now they've just got 2 senior agents left. Time to get recruiting! I kind of love watching brand new agents, like Jo when she came on board.

I love that Ruth is back, but I have the feeling she's going to lose it in a future episode. She seemed way too together (with moments peeking through) in this episode, for her not to have a massive breakdown down the line.

Anyway, overall a good episode. Hostage eps have been done a million times by a million shows, but this kept me interested all the way through. Especially since they couldn't do their usual tricks of disabling communications or sneaking in. They did a great job of making it feel like a real impossible situation.

(Oh, and because I probably will feel the need to mention it in every episode, I do not like the CIA woman. At all.)


Ruth seems to have become Harry's right-hand person.



Ros defeats a baddie with the power of her stare. SHE IS THAT AWESOME.



Wet Lucas is always a good thing. (Doughy, pasty, wet man showing lots of skin, however, is not.)



Awww. Bye bye, Jo. At least it was a pretty death, full of slow-mo.



This is what I love about Ros. She's bad-ass enough to pull the trigger, even knowing it'll kill Jo, but after it she slumps down and sheds a tear. Who says "strong" women don't cry?

I always feel like I should get back into this show, but I'm still disturbed by Helen Flynn's death in 1x02.

I wish I'd been warned about that episode. I probably wouldn't have watched it. While lots of people have died on the show since then, fortunately nothing has been that disturbing.

Oh that makes me feel better. :)

Wiki's telling me that that scene got the most complaints for that year - lots of angry people called in. Maybe they realized they needed to tone it down after that.

I mean, the show has been plenty graphic still - people getting shot in the head and so on - but nothing's disturbed me like that death did.

Ooh, thanks for that. I think I'll give it another go

JO! I kept wanting someone to go and try CPR on her or something... but alas. I loved the looks Jo and Ros shared, how Jo pretty much told Ros it was ok. Still, couldn't she have tried for his arm or something?

I thought about his arm too, but then thought that was a lot more risky. If she didn't instantly kill him, he could have still pushed the button.
