The thing is it, it all depends on your interpretation of what happens in the show, of course!
Doesn't Julie shoot Inge? Doyle looks to be too late to me. (Not that he didn't try like hell, which should probably count.) No, I think the other way around - I think that Doyle shot her, although Julia did shoot. At the end Bodie takes the gun away from her and says "I think this'll be safer in my hands", which suggests to me that she shot well wide...
Is that what's going on there? I always thought Bodie was angry because Doyle had left HIM too long in jeopardy. Hmmm...I'll have to watch that again. Yeah, I'm sure that's part of why Bodie's angry (my slashy brain adds another part!) but he also says that CI5 regs state that Doyle should have shot from the door, not come into the room and shot - suggesting that Doyle ignored the regs and put himself in danger to make sure that he wouldn't shoot Bodie by accident.
At the end, though, I think we're supposed to believe that Bodie opening fire is what made Doyle's escape from the house ultimately possible Oh, I've never watched it that way, I always see Doyle as basically free before then, because he easily overcame Parker and would have been able to escape. He'd have done this whether or not Bodie (and CI5 in fact) opened fire. But yeah, Bodie acted before Cowley's orders, because he wanted to save Doyle...
In Hunter/Hunted, Bodie's already tracking Doyle down Well, Bodie has got as far as knowing Brownie was involved, but he would have had no way to find Doyle in the huge London docks, except that Cowley had figured out the Kathy Mason connection and called Bodie in, so that they could (presumably) frighten the plan and Doyle's whereabouts out of her...
DiaG... so my thought is no one else would arrive in time. It's definitely possible... depends how long Doyle would have survived, just lying there really... *g*
Oh, and what's the one with the lady terrorist working in the library? Bodie shoots the guy before he can shoot Doyle in the stairwell? Ooh yes, Fugitive - good call! And I've just realised, they come out even in that ep then! I wonder if anyone's mentioned that in a fic!
