9.01: in which sometimes it is all just maths

[belantana]

1. Can I just have a little bit of a grump that it isn't on Fridays like last year? That was so great! I got to watch it Saturday morning, literally (literally!) five minutes after the broadcast. Never mind that I used to have to wait months, now I am cranky about having to wait a whole day.

2. No official word but if Ros died I'm not sure how he'd have survived...

6. Jo 2.0 would be good! It would be lovely. I liked him but we didn't really have enough personality for me to get a fix on him, so waiting for that...

7. I KNOW.

8. I sort of care, because I care about everyone, but tbh it's always been more about the ensemble for me (and Ruth, when she's been in it).

9. AAAGH no preview eps!

2. Ros saved him with her magic ninja powers, that's how. THE END.

6. I was going to say "or Zaf 2.0", but then I remembered that Ben was Zaf 2.0, and then I realised that Zaf was Danny 2.0, and then I gave up.

2. Whatever you say...

6. I was musing on this recently; I think Tariq might actually be the spiritual successor to Danny (both techies) and Ben to Zaf (both good at undercover).

Oh hmm, you're on to something there... but they are quite different characters still. I bet whoever thought of replacing Malcolm with Tariq is patting himself on the back for making room for two white male field officers.

...Someone needs to make a timeline! *hints*

[hestia8]

Oh yeah, they are very different otherwise (though I LOVE Tariq's confidence). Probably. I find it depressing that with 4 new actors they've still only increased the grid numbers by 1.

I totally did a picture timeline at some point, I must find out what I did with it and clean it up...
