“Not dead yet!”
Well, that left it with the women pretty much the only ones standing.
It was an interesting fifth ep. Not sure exactly how I feel about it, as a whole, although individual performances were spectacular.
I have to say, I am just in awe of the job Peter Capaldi (Frobisher) did. What a magnificent piece of acting in all five episodes. Sorry that we really didn't get more of Lois in this one, but I loved Bridget sticking it to the PM.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
It wasn't until I watched the Declassified that I realized (because they state it outright) that Peter Capaldi was the father in the DH Pompei episode!

Pretty much every scene had me saying "oh, god!!" at the end of it.
I can't really think now though. You people talk and say smart things.

When Bridget was telling Lois that, "you wouldn't know it now, but he used to be an awkward young man" (something like that) I was thinking back to the first time I saw him in Local Hero. Yes! He was quite gangly in his younger days. /crush on Danny Oldsen
No, it really doesn't close.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I'm having to rewatch since the storm knocked out my satellite and I just got to the scene where Frobisher went home to his family, with the gun. OMG!

I hope you have anti-depressants and whiskey on hand, quester. I had neither!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How about the reveal that they're using the kids for drugs? That all this is about a fix? Made it all so skeevy and street corner.
Frobisher did what he had to do, given the information and resources he had at the time, poor man. Brilliantly played by Capaldi.
And the guy who played Dekker was icky when he came up with the solution that would kill Stephen. He looked too smug.
