This week's episode is the first of a two-parter (the second part of which ITV will not be airing until a later date gits) written by lead writer, Emilia di Girolamo.

Holy shit! Holy, holy SHIT!

As you probably realize I just finished watching the episode. C'mon guys, getting rid of so many main characters this early in the show?
Sure, the mothership had staff changes too, but not every 5 eps!

And as much as I will love the upcoming drama and angst - if Matt dies... *sniffles*...what are we all going to do?!
(If not it'll be a bloody miracle, judging from the gunshot wounds to his chest.)

What's next? Ronnie drinking himself to death over losing Matty? Alesha leaving the CPS because of the bad memories? *gah*

:'((

It was an all around well-made episode, but boy am I MAD now!! First they rip Alesha/James apart, now Ronnie/Matty...

I very much doubt that's why Alesha would leave (not that she is leaving, yet, so far as I know). After all, if she was going to quit, I'd say she'd have done it after the events of 'Alesha'...

Naw, that was just an example. I haven't heard anything yet either, but my frustration needed a release...both of my favourite (friend-)ships...destroyed... :'(

Okay, let's focus on the exquisitely angst-y episode that's about to come up. Well, whenever.

It'll be September on BBC America.

No idea when ITV will bother showing it, the gits!

[scolaro]

They should be proud enough of their show to make sure it runs in the UK before.
At least September isn't that far away.

I really really don't get the logic of splitting a 13 episode series into two!

True.
