Have caught up. Am too angry even to rant.
I mean, I know this show's supposed to be all shock and surprises? Maybe because I haven't had an actual unspoiled character-death sort of surprise since series 4 I've lost my resistance to them? Maybe they played me so thoroughly that I'm just annoyed because I hate being played? But they were REALLY CHEAP shocks and surprises, weren't they?
I don't know. But I'm bloody angry, that's for sure.
Possibly more coherent thoughts later, when I've gone and broken some plates.
As an aside, thank you to all of you for keeping me so marvellously unspoiled for this series. :) YOU CAN'T SPOIL ME NOW EVEN IF YOU TRY, HA. (Unless you know some spoilers about the finale. In which case, you know where to take them.)
Edit: Okay, because they must have planned the Connie thing since the start, right? Possibly even since the start of series 6, although I doubt it. But it was so out of the blue. I could've liked that, if the reason was because Connie was so good at hiding it. But in 7.07 she was SO BAD at hiding it. Aargghhh.
Edit 2: I've calmed down now. I remember having this sort of reaction at 2.10/3.01, actually, so I think it's mainly the 'have lost resistance to this kind of thing' reason. Sort of forgot what show I was watching. Whoops.
The grid is now staffed by FIVE PEOPLE. New characters ahoy? From another section, perhaps? *is ridiculously, pointlessly hopeful*
And another pity is that 7.07 completely overshadowed 7.05 and 7.06, because I watched them only a few hours ago and already I can't remember a thing other than that I loved them. Hmph.
