Discuss. :)

I don`t know why it says repeat, becacuse the first episode of every season premieres on BBC1 before moving to BBC3. :shrug:

OOOoooh !! :thumbsup:

Really enjoyed this episode - thought it got better and better as it went on. :)

I watched the second episode as well, so I`ll post other comments in that thread, in case I get mixed up with the episodes and spoil someone. :lol:

EDIT - I can`t believe that Harry doesn`t know what Adam and Roz are up to. :ponder:

I can`t believe that Harry doesn`t know what`s going on, seeing as he`s the all-knowing one. :ponder:

Cracking first episode. :thumbsup:

It's going to be very hard to resist turning over to BBC3 if every week there's going to be a cliffhanger like that. :o

Pretty brave having the heroes planting a bomb which kills so many innocent people. :( I wasn't sure why Saf didn't escape out of the truck with Adam unless he's trying to keep the infection contained. :ponder:

Not sure about Jo's new short hair cut either. ;)

I think Jo's new haircut just looks plain weird. ;)

Great first ep! It took me a while to get into and know what was going on, but as Sarah said, it just got better and better as it went on. If I hadn't been so tired and the 2nd ep had started immediately after instead of having a half hour gap, I would have had to have watched that too. :)

I wondered that and thought it was either

1) A plot contrivance ;) , or

2) Zaf was feeling guilty about the bomb and was prepared to do something noble to make up for it. :ponder: Or..

3) Adam`s suicidal tendencies are catching. ;)

It reminded me of Clint Eastwood`s haircut in Unforgiven. :ph43r:

maybe he put too much trust in his team (as if the nervous breakdown during the last operation didn't have any consequences) :unsure:

A plot contrivance you say ? I'm afriad I'm not familar which such things, :snooty: does it happen often in such shows ? ;)

I saw the trailer for the 2nd episode and Jo's hair looked white to me. :unsure:

It must be stress turning her hair white - it seems like every week, something dreadful happens. :whistling:

spy job seemed to be a very stressful job, maybe she should find an other job :lol: :unsure:

Watched this again last night, and I agree with my previous comments. ;)

Also.... I hadn`t realised how bloody the first scene is with the scientists ; it looked even more horrific the second time round. :fear:

Hurray ! The first Spook we see is Harry ! :thumbsup: He looks like he`s been missing nap-time. :blink:

Jo spends the first half hour looking permanently started :lol: - thinking about it, I think her new haircut makes her look like a llama, rather than a giraffe. ;)

Ooh, Adam and Roz are using an MI5 safehouse as a little love nest. Naughty, naughty ! :lol:

The scenes driving from the airfield and in the woods really ramped up the tension. I thought they were excellently shot, really edge of the seat stuff. I hadn`t realised that they do that camera trick thingy when the magnetic pulse hits. :)

I didn`t like the Number of Infections bit on the screen at first, but when they showed that Adam was infected by increasing the number from 7 to 8, it was quite dramatic. :ponder:

Aw, Zaf and his little trembling chin in the truck. :(

I wonder what happens next ? :whistling:
