OUR GIRL AND CAPTAIN JAMES XLIX

[Ilovelblue]

All discussion on all the BBC series of Our Girl, with particular reference to Captain James, is welcome here.

CJ seems reasonably normal at this point. Yes, he is posh.

"What can go wrong?" Well quite a lot actually Georgie and you won't have long to wait.

Hm - having been bereaved myself though not as violently as Georgie, I reckon it would take more than six months regimental duties anywhere to get over it.

Sorry to hear that eejit. I agree that it would normally take much longer than that, even with a relatively straightforward death (if you know what I mean).

I never did see the point of this obstacle race really other than to show Brains having a strop and then when we did find out why he had thrown a wobbler, it was never really mentioned again.

Ooh Brains has got a cob on!

Yes digging holes for the council is definitely embarrassing.

Never quite saw why Brains took his worries out on Rab

Brains had always been the clever one in previous series but when Rab arrived, I think it was implied he was actually more intelligent than Brains, wasn't it?

Love Rab’s philosphy.

I love the comment "does God speak in your funny little accent?" It makes me laugh every time.

Gasp

Noooooo, gorgeous Elvis. Still not over his death you know.

It would have been more convincing is she’d continued to have the flashbacks and memories - and better fun for us Elvis fans, as long as it wasn’t the death scene.

I find it odd that Maisie doesn't know any details about CJ. Even if she hasn't known him too long, the likes of Brains and Fingers have been with him for a few years now.

Sorry t'internet is playing up tonight.

The Nigerian medic seems so young.

It was cruel to show us all those old scenes with Elvis earlier. Oh Georgie how could you have turned to CJ???

Here's Bones - this could have been so much more interesting if they'd not messed up his storyline so badly later on.

Feel the conversation with the Nigerian medic is the ‘educational’ bit - oh, here comes Bones. Wasn’t it blatantly signalled that he’d be back.

Bones - as we come to find out later this is he - is such a thug in this scene. CJ gives no indication he knows who Bones really is.

Poor Kid!!

Wish CJ would stop saying "Lane - on me!" He probably means it literally.

Isn't CJ's speech reminiscent of "What have we just learned" from Series 1 out in Afghan?

We should have sussed something about the way CJ smiles at Georgie.

We're jealous Rhu, we'd be on CJ given half a chance!

Oh, Rab’s family history time.
