1. Oh GOD, Bel and Hector, you are idiots.
2. He’s not going to get jealous, surely?
3. He might just stare at Freddie for a bit instead.
4. For serious, I prefer almost any pairing that isn’t Bel/Hector
5. “Oh great, we’ll have McCain on our backs again.”
6. When was the 14 day rule abolished?
7. “Hector, you have the country in your palm.”
8. PLEASE don’t let Hector be the traitor.
9. “It’s a date.”
10. Oh, Freddie.
11. Oh Hector, you ARE jealous, you fool.
12. And you’re going in together? SUBTLE. MORONS.
13. Damn, that’s a nice dress.
14. Wait, so what is Clarence’s job and who is this other dude?
15. BBC say he’s Head of News, which would make the other guy… head of the BBC?
16. “You were two a penny at my school.”
17. OH MY GOD.
18. “The mark of a man is how he conducts himself in this time.”
19. To be fair, Hector, you did rather make it easy for him to use that against you.
20. Damn it, Freddie, it’s only because you’re in this particular show that you are not dead right now.
21. “This isn’t grief, this is shameful denial.”
22. Anyone beginning to wonder if the eventual reveal is going to leave Freddie completely wrecked and wishing he hadn’t bothered?
23. “You’re terrified.” “How brave you are. We’re not all as brave as you, Frederick.”
24. “Why else are they following me?” “Because you’re an irritant.” HA HA HA
25. EVERYONE knows about you, morons.
26. JFC, Bel, this is not the time to get stupid.
27. Please don’t let Hector be the traitor.
28. “He’s not my type.” “Sadly, I think you’re his.”
29. Oh hey, Lix, nice of you to join us.
30. “There’s a fine line between fury and desire, I tend to find.”
31. “It’s nothing darling, his heart is still with you.”
32. Oh, BEL, your FACE.
33. Seriously Bel, get that look off your face, she’s his wife, you’re his mistress.
34. “Get out? We’ve got to get further in, Hector, come on!”
35. Oh, Marnie.
36. Seriously Bel, I don’t think you were this dumb
37. “I do like you very much. You’re such fun. He’s always just on loan, and he always comes back.”
38. Is there ANYONE who doesn’t know about them?
39. “And whatever you see of Hector, I know who he really is. Do you?”
40. Damn, that’s another nice dress.
41. “I can’t explain.” “Bad luck, I want you to.”
42. While on the one hand, I agree with this stuff, on the other, Freddie has been ballsing stuff up, mucking about and following whispers for weeks and no-one’s told him off.
43. “You’re God’s cruel joke, sent to throw horrible relief on all our inadequacies.”
44. SATIRE! OH MY GOD.
45. “It could be disastrous.” “Or daring.”
46. “Why the hell was Tom Kish reporting to McCain?”
47. “We have put ourselves in a ridiculously precarious position, Hector.”
48. “I never thought your ambition would compromise your integrity.”
49. “I tolerate him. It doesn’t mean we talk.”
50. Poor Hector. I’d be pissed off if people thought I was friends with McCain.
51. I’m glad that this week Clarence is telling Bel and Freddie things that are entirely sodding obvious.
52. Freddie, in what possible universe would you think you going to a meeting with McCain was a good idea?
53. “They were being shot one by one and all I could think was, I’ve got no bloody film.”
54. I thought we were going to find out who the mole was this week, but now I’m not so sure.
55. His relationship with Adam Le Ray WHAT
56. WHAAAAAAAAAAT
57. Did I miss that? Was that hinted? WTF
58. “She talked to the press. No, sorry, she talked to Mr Lyon.”
59. OHHHHHHHHHHH I SEEEEEEEEE
60. Oh hey, Bel’s mum!
61. “I used to think the worst possible thing would be to be like you.” Charming.
62. “Well, I’m going to do exactly what I like and to hell with the rest of them.”
63. Quick random thought – Lix and Connie share quite a lot of similarities
64. I feel like Lix probably spends most of her time wanting to smack people for being idiots.
65. “Here, put this on.”
66. *dies*
67. “A lady never removes her hat in a gentleman’s car.”
68. “They thought she was a liability to herself but the biggest liability to her was us.”
69. Oh, Freddie, don’t look shocked, of course you’re on the fucking list. This entry was originally posted at http://hestia8.dreamwidth.org/12229.html.

They've got A LOT to get through next week omg. I CANNOT WAIT!

With McCain & Adam, I definitely came away from the weekend in the country thinking they were probably involved. Adam biting McCain's shoulder and having him light his cigarette and the way McCain ordered them to take him to bed when he was drunk was very much the way a man would have behaved if his wife was drunk & showing him up. I wasn't SURE, mostly because there was the link with Marnie's brother too, but yeah.

I don't know what to do with all my feelings (I spend most of Bel's scenes now thinking I WANT TO LOOK JUST LIKE HER rather than thinking about her storylines because they HURT ME). I LOVED Lix calling Bel out on her relationship with Freddie. Bel was having a seriously bad day that day, first that and then Marnie. The whole time, like Hector being jealous and Marnie & Bel I just kept going YOU ARE HAVING AN AFFAIR

Yeah, let's just say I was being my usual oblivious self with regards to Angus/Adam. Ahem.

I think that Romola Garai did a very good job with Bel, because she's being ridiculous, putting everything she's worked for at risk for this affair, but somehow she's still sympathetic. I'm hoping next series they don't go back to Hector/Bel, though - more of the show and if she does get a boyfriend, make it someone who is unattached, for God's sake.

Oh no, that never occurred to me. PLEASE DON'T.

It had mostly occurred to me as he was my favourite! Although obviously it's over now and I can breathe a sigh of relief...

Yes, I'm glad that didn't happen! Also, I completely agree with what you said about the finale - it was such a good reveal, and then... it just kept going. They should have stopped it right when Clarence said about when have you ever done what I asked.

As has been said up above, I thought McCain and Adam was hinted at. And also Hector getting jealous and Bel's reaction to Marnie were both really hard to sympathise with, because AFFAIR.

I feel like Lix probably spends most of her time wanting to smack people for being idiots.

This is partly why I like her so.

Yeah, I was just being a twit wrt that! I rewatched and don't know how I missed it.

I think that there is still some sympathy, and that is because of RG - looking back on the series, I'm a bit dissatisfied with the writing for Bel, because Hector's lovely and all, but he's so clearly not worth throwing everything away for, and she'd been set up, I think, to be smart enough to work that out. We'll see with series 2, anyway.

Lix is amazing.
