The Our Girl Addicts Thread 67 Stay focused, Stay alert, Stay alive and carry on....spying

[Ilovelblue]

We started to follow Our Girl back in 2014 and although there will be no further series, we do revisit from time to time. We have watched all seven series of Soldier Soldier to keep up our military terminology and have galloped through all three series of The Musketeers. There was a definite connection between Our Girl and The Musketeers in the delightful form of Luke Pasqualino. We are currently nearing the end of series 4 of Spooks but have agreed to take a short break after this series to go back to our first love - Our Girl and the consensus was to view series 2. Please join in if either Spooks or Our Girl grab your attention.

Jackie gives her the gen on CJ - so now we know he's not all bad.

Hi Delphic yes we have strayed a a bit and enjoyed other stuff but here we are back with our very own original

Hi Delphin, long time no speak!

In at the deep end for poor Molly. It's a lot to take in when you've just arrived. This was pretty graphic too.

In at the deep end Molly. She froze .. who wouldn't

I bet Molly's beginning to regret her choice now.

Ooh another really cringey moment when she turns up in her skimpies for PT. CJ is mean again.

CJ comes across as a complete chauvinistic b*stard.

He really is being a bad tempered bully to poor Molly. He might think he's doing her a favour telling her how it really is, but he doesn't have to do it this way.

Yes he was mean I must say but it did seem more real army than some of the stuff we had to put with from his changed character in Nepal

Seeing the gloved hand of that injured soldier reminded me of Elvis - don’t ask why.

Yes that is true Magi. It did get a bit soapy and unrealistic later on. However, I suppose here he's got a really green section, so he's being harder on all of them, but he just doesn't know her, or rather he thinks he does know her type and he doesn't like her.

I really disliked that comment CJ made about speed dating.

At least Molly is able to talk to Smurf a bit.

If CJ has already done 4 tours, one would have thought he didn’t need to prove himself quite so much in front of the lads.

Oh, I remember how much I loved the music (I burned it on CD).

Yes, I like the theme tune to this series. It feels gritty.

Prophetic words from CJ.

Big mistake, though, talking to Smurf. He misinterprets.

Gosh, I had forgotten about some of those characters who disappeared after the first couple of series.

I like the way you hear CJ's voice in this scene.

Pen, pen, pen....just how many biros has that girl squirrelled away?

Maybe she sells them on to her pals.

Part of the reason it got soapy was TG had a soap Director direct it.

I much prefer all the music from this series. In later series we just seem to get generic background music. This is so much more atmospheric.

A thriving little enterprise

Certainly was a good series for portraying how a very new medic would feel arriving in this whole set up not only of Bastion but the fob
