gene hunt does not wait for the 6th in line to the bloody throne
ASHES TO ASHES, YOU GUYS.
I!
I don't know! I don't have much to say - I HAVE MISSED THIS SO MUCH - and I also know they're most likely setting up, like, TONS OF STUFF, so:
1. OH SHIT FLASHES OF 2008/09
2. THE BRITISH LEAGUE OF POPCULTURAL SUFFERING: OF COURSE WE'RE DOING A PRINCESS DIANA STORY. SOMEHOW. DON'T ASK US HOW. WE ARE. (I can only hope for a Spooks crossover [link: no spoilers; just a conspiracy theory that will rot your brain].) (Oh, God, I said Spooks, ergo I cannot resist posting the tag to that scene.) (YOU'RE A BORN SPOOK, RUTH. okay I am done.)
2a. DID HARRY PEARCE SHOOT ALEX DRAKE? Oh, my.
3. SO OBVIOUSLY THIS FLOWERS AND PORT DE L'ALMA STUFF MEAN MORE THAN JUST PRINCESS DIANA. OBVIOUSLY. WE ARE NOT DUMB.
3a. I'm just going to, you know, throw this out there. 1997? Wouldn't that be the year, um................................ Alex's daughter was born? Most likely? All things considered? (Oh, God. Her kid is 10, right? I WILL FEEL DUMB IF SHE'S NOT.) YEAH YOU KNOW I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING. I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING. I AM JUST - yeah. YEAH.
...
YEAH.
4. IN THE COURSE OF THIS EPISODE, ALEX DRAKE TALKED TO:
a. AN OLD LADY WHO SOUNDS WITH THE VOICE OF A SCOTTISH DUDE
b. MAYBE A CRAZY DOCTOR, WE'RE NOT SURE
c. A DOG
AKA, I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH.
"You attract nutters."
"Yeah, I've noticed that."
WHATEVER. MY 80s SHOW. IS BACK.
OH MY GOODNESS.
In conclusion, please do not ever wear that purple sweater again. YOU LOOK PREGNANT. Thank you.
(Okay, so if Alex Drake is ~missing~ in 2008, if we can believe that's actually happened, then wtf actual time travel? Really? I DO NOT EVEN KNOW ANYMORE.)
