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.

They wouldn't do that to us would they?

Well Jamie's left the show, so what do you reckon? Seems to me highly likely they've killed Matt off.

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!

Well my enjoyment of the episode was spoilt by lead writer Emilia Retweeting everyone's Tweets - many of which were full of spoilers.

Still, it was a well written episode and the acting was very good all round.
