Our Girl and Captain James XLVII

[Ilovelblue]

Not much longer to wait out for the Nigeria episodes! Some of us are still mourning the death of Elvis.

Actually, Maisies hair IS a mess. She looks like my niece when she doesn't want to spend five minutes of conditioning and combing her afro curls in the morning and just grabs an elastic/scrunchie! But then she's only in primary school not in the army.

Where did the extra squaddies appear from?

We are supposed to see the pride in Bones's face.

Maisie's got an entirely different hairstyle now and much more appropriate.

Georgie's also got the 'Molly' up do.

Extra squaddies were hiding in the bushes :-).

I remember wondering about the squaddie "extras" on Wednesday night.

Hold onto your hats Bones sees a bomb!

Bones is an outsider isn't he.

Now he gives his orders and they follow without question!!

Got to admit that I didn't at first realise it was Bones who had been blown to smithereens.

Sorry, still unmoved. I just didn't like him. Medals bit not needed.

I like the way Kingy wants some company with the rest of the guys.

I suppose they are all going to start doing fond memories of him now.

The others hold back - are they thinking of G re-living Elvis?
And I was suer this was the moment for a flashback,rather than Kingy dossing with them.

Would Bones' family really have been flown out?

Find it strange, sorry, that Maisie is one of the pallbearers.

Here we go...guess who's back???

Deep breath, here comes the new CO .... oh it's CJ! Doesn't look to have any commanding presence about him now, is he a broken man?

CJ looks grim! Poor Georgie. I bet she's swearing in her mind. and looking at him daggers.

Yes run away from him, Georgie. He's behaving like an idiot. Don't blame you for wanting a transfer.

Life goes on in Bangladesh.

I do like the sight of CJ carrying one of the young children.

The lost post - really like the CGI here. I renember seeing the photo.

How long will it take for a transfer to come through?

I enjoyed that! I think I appreciated the episode more this time.

CJ did look very scared, nervous and very vulnerable, didn’t he?

Yes marvellous he did look nervous. I'd like to know how much of the decision to return was the Brig persuading or CJ breaking his promise. Was he reluctant I wonder?

I think we're a bit scared as well Marvellous the way his character is going downhill!

I know we've said it before (and yes, it's only a drama) but where are all the Brig's underlings? Surely CJ wouldn't report directly to him? Has he really come out to Bangladesh all on his own?

A major like Beck would have been more believable (and even correct, if I remember my research of ranks correctly).
Even the second time around this episode just leaves me confused. It has some good moments but especially Bones and Captain James were just wasted here.
