8/16/2023 0 Comments Berlin station synopsis![]() ![]() Never before have i felt he was there mainly for decoration and eye candy. The main and increasing one is underusage of Richard (apart from the way too many story strands – presumably just to give fodder for s2). But i’ve had way too many quibbles with the writing in this to feel like really saying sorry. Daniel as a by-stander and walker by is just not credible, sorry writers. Yes, its clear Hector helped Julian escape and most likely ran some stuff somewhere where torture was involved. But yeah interesting episode for once, mroe watchable than others in the series but still, loads of things don’t make sense and don’t add up and stretch believability way too far. Late to the party as been up to ears in work lately. It’s also possible that whoever at the CIA interfered with the Isis Bride mission, wants Forst discredited so he or a crony could get the Deputy job. Because in answer to Daniel once or maybe twice, when asked wherehe was sent after Chechnya, all he had to say was some other station, and he didn’t. I’m liking my theory better and better that Hector’s “Hell” was managing or working in a black site where he had to torture, and that’s why he’s bitter and on a mission, and that’s how DeVoss escaped. Again, I wonder why the CIA would interfere with an op with the same goals they had in renditioning (?) Iosova, with the exception that the legal means Stephen was moving towards would have put him in the hands of the Germans and then, legal proceedings – although according to what Iosova said to his wife, he was told he could have a lawyer ( really?) ![]() I thought I understood what was probably going on with the the rendition – but then the show runners’ bit at the end showed me I was wrong. Hanger on, looker on,- not juicy enough for me, most of the time. I agree about not enough Daniel action – but lots of reaction. Shouldn’t Daniel Miller have worried the same as I did – and maybe made a move when Hector knelt without the gun? I have to give more thought to Daniel Miller here – twice this episode he stepped aside while Hector engaged in the off pad: torture and murder. Tension as Hector points the gun to Ruth’s head relief as he kneels down before her tension again as he caresses her face – is he going to kiss her? I actually thought it for a sec – and then snap!! There was a pathos and suspense in that scene that’s been pretty absent from this series. Turned out, Daniel Miller didn’t make a difference to the end result. ![]() But, I was thinking – n ot really – because Daniel Miller is right there. From the moment Claire died in Hector’s arms from Ruth’s gunshot, the threat was there for me that Hector was going to execute Ruth Iosova in cold blood. I thought this episode (7) was suspenseful and shocking. I was mesmerized by the pole dancer/hooker) (But what about that blue lit scene with Esther in the club? German club goers/entertainers really dress it up – full costume. Also, his hair seems very black in certain light, Black without the Lucas blue. And some beautiful profiles – though don’t expect them from my screen shots – bad quality. Tonight, there was lots of blinking and furrowed brows. But, now and then, there’s a chance for him to show something. Sometimes there’s an Into the Storm feeling about him in this. I haven t been over the moon with the series or Richard Armtage – him or his character. I haven’t posted much about the Berlin Station episodes as they’ve aired, aside from a rough go at Eps 1 and 2, which was a post about the difficult of choosing what to watch that first night. ![]()
