Yeah, I'm sorry to say that I agree with this. I liked her first two stories immensely, but I was a bit gobsmacked after this one - everything seemed so much more unlikely, somehow melodramatic and over the top. Couched in pretty words, yes, but - and to go a little bit further than your comment about the driest leaves stirring etc - would the lads think like that?

Obviously some people are perfectly happy with the characterisation, but while it's interesting enough in itself, I don't really see either of the lads from the eps here, and it seems unlikely to me that either would have survived such heavy emotional baggage as is portrayed to work successfully (ie, not fall asleep in trauma/fall apart in trauma/blackout etc on the job and get themselves killed) in CI5... I wanted to buy it all, but... just couldn't...
