Evening all. Will be with you at 9pm.
Hi Dance, nice to hear from you although, it's a shame, as you say, that we can't be raving about the current series - or at least in a good way.
I have to agree with all the comments on here about the series. I don't mind watching it and being such a long-term fan I can't imagine I would ever not watch BUT it does sadly seem to be repeating itself and stretching belief even as far as a drama goes - so sorry to say so. I seriously wouldn't mind a little bit more domestic drama to contrast with the timescale-confusing tours abroad. I've also always found the timescales difficult to understand and thought it needed a few more signposts to time-passing.
It seems to me that the loss of Molly after series 1 and now Elvis after series 3 (part 1) have caused problems for the storylines . I can't really see another series after these 8 episodes are done and certainly not for a medic in the army. Maisie's story as a female front-line soldier might be more interesting to explore but I can't imagine they are going to be sent to many more exotic locations.
If CJ doesn't leave and quite soon, I 'd be astounded. As for Bones, I hope he grows on me but I'm not too impressed yet and can't imagine Georgie will be either. Mind you, I agree with his assessment of everything that happened in episode 2.
polarbear I think Bones is probably the same rank as CJ and Elvis i.e. a captain. I don't think anyone actually said but it was implied.
