Holby: 'Before the Fall'

[ithildin]

A few thought's about this week's eppie...

Our Dan has a real chivalrous streak doesn't he? I've been noting signs of it, but this episode really cemented the the idea for me. He was ready to cover for Kyla! Dan seems to really like women, aside from the obvious. Every week something else happens to just endear him all the more to me.

And the real Methos moment? when Kyla told him she'd told the police the truth, and his reply, "Sure, whatever works for you." Cracked me up!

As for the rest of them... I really felt for Connie. She was dealing with the situation the only way she could. And Elliot is such a dear! and what was with that couple Donna was assigned to? I'm actually liking Donna better these days. And Jac!?!?!? I don't think she was expecting Lord Byrne to be smitten. What a mess she's gotten herself into. And the bright spot of the ep was no Thandie!

*g* Dan adores women -- the whole sexist schtick is either because he's a natural shit-stirrer (and you notice he respects people who push back)? or he's Methos and he's deliberately being as anti-Adam Pierson as possible. (I keep having a vision of Joe and Mac seeing him at his outrageous best at Holby, Mac spluttering like he was at the end of 'Till Death' when the vase got smashed, and Joe just grinning.)

And yeah, that whole scene was pure Methos. :)

As to Connie, it was so obvious work was all that kept her together, and that Sam expecting her to react the way he thought she should react was just pissing her off. Eliot knew when to let her go and when to use the stern voice of authority on her -- I didn't know he could be so stern. Yay Eliot!

Something's matured Donna -- she was right onto the situation with that couple (I bet he was abusing the woman when he was her swimming coach) and she did not like it one little bit. Oh, and Maria came out of her shell! You can believe now she is Dan/Methos' Watcher and she's deliberately acting meek to avoid notice. Except Methos can smell a Watcher a mile off...

As for Jac, she's landed herself in Deep Shit. Dearm, dear, tsk, tsk. Gosh, even Dan tried to warn her -- if you're going to be a player, pick your targets carefully. The funny thing is I think she and Lord B are actually a more compatible couple than her and Joesph -- except for the age difference, and the fact that he's married, and the fact that she's sorta involved with his son, and... *rolls eyes*

Oh, and re: Harvey: conversation between Mum and self:

MUM: So I take it Harvey isn't an Immortal?

ME: Well we don't know how long it takes for them to come back to life. Harvey could have come to after Kyla saw him and done a Richie and sneaked out of the morgue.

MUM: *fit of laughter8

ME: Except Methos isn't too impressed with him. If he had been pre-immortal he'd have waited until Kyla left after the viewing and snuck in there with a bone saw. Scrrrrrrr...

Thandie next week. Nowever... :D

And what bugs me most about Jac? She doesn't need to pull the sort of crap she does to get ahead! She's an excellent surgeon. But the girl seems to have some serious esteem issues since she obviously doesn't think enough of herself to believe in her abilities.

Harvey as an Immortal! *rotfl* That was be classic!

It would have taken him a while to come back too, all opened up as he was. That's got to take a bit of morgue time to recover from, whether or not someone tidied him up :) I can almost see Methos packing him up in a crate and posting it to Bolivia or something, before he woke up :)
