Thats what makes it fun.
Slow Horsesis a show that understands the importance of escalation.
Theres still rubble in the street.
But theres no time for that now.
River has drawings to look at.
So, like, yes, the suicide bombing.
But also: fake identities and flashbacks and chases through train stations.
I have theories here.
Im not going to get into them yet.
Similar enough that even River sees it.
Two episodes left in this season and still plenty to get to.
And, one assumes, more bungling and buffoonery on the way there.
Its coming together nicely.
River made it almost four full episodes without getting captured by MI5 this season.
That might be the most shocking twist so far, actually.

Its funny to Roddy, too.
I will not be entertaining any of these arguments.
It was probably for the best.
8.Flyte (Last Week: 6)

David got away again because her team got flummoxed by an old woman who yanked a fire alarm.
On the other hand: She did corner River eventually with some misdirection at the Cartwright house.
7.Catherine (Last Week: 10)
7.
The important thing to remember about Catherine is that she doesnt have to be doing any of this.
The ball is in her court.
Shes been working there for decades in one capacity or another.
She cant help herself.
6.Frank Harkness (Last Week: 7)

Which, to be fair, are both pretty important in their own way.
5.Diana (Last Week: Unranked)
5.
Diana has a lot of plates spinning right now and a lot of cover-ups to cover up.
The temptation here is to give her a pass for letting one thing slip by in the chaos.
Its not even the damning information thats the problem here, really.
Its that Claude and Giti were able to track it down right under her nose.
Those two shouldnt be able to sneak up on anyone let alone a high-ranking figure in an intelligence agency.
Bless their sweet, pure souls, but come on, Diana.

3.The Dog with the neck tattoos (Last Week: Unranked)
3.
I really like that this goofus had numerous aggressive tattoos in highly exposed areas neck, hands, etc.
and still went into the intelligence business as though any reasonably capable spy couldnt see him coming from space.
I will watch and recap any television show calledTattoo Dogthe instant someone makes one.
2.River (Last Week: 3)
2.
Hes so close to being a good spy.
So far away, too.
But also so close.
But also so, so far away.
