shapinglightI just watched it this morning, as last night I couldn't tear myself away from Prof Brian Cox managing to make the heat death of the universe sound - well, not as bad as all that.
Anyway, seen the ep now and boy-oh-boy!
Spoilers behind cut
That was a powerful episode. I ended up feeling sorry for everyone - even for Herrick a bit. I think it says a lot about Aiden Turner as an actor that the last two episodes have revealed his character as a cowardly, emotionally manipulative, selfish git (not that we didn't know that already), and yet we (or at least I) can still feel some sympathy for him, while wanting to tell Annie to run far away from him and never look back. Not that she will. Whatever else Mitchell may have done, he did go to purgatory to fetch her back, so there's no way she'll abandon him now (though personally I still can't quite believe that he loves her as more than a friend - the spark isn't there, because he's so incredibly inward looking and selfish).
And clever Herrick. Looks like he's made himself a bunch of very useful minions.
Also, wasn't Robson Greene terrific as McNair?
