Have to mention this is the first time we saw him fighting, not punching someone, not being punched - REALLY FIGHTING WITH FISTS. Not with a pan. River, you’re a big boy but you can’t fight at all 😭😭 lmaoooo, didn’t think that in the fics he’s being described in a very precise way
Tumblr blocked my second account again well well welll fine
What did I say? I said it was PERFECT BUT
The hit was bad. Terrible. You can't fool around a true whump lover. He didn't even touch him Imfao.
The paint was perfect but the editing at THE moment was bad too. Didn't they notice where River's hand supposed to be? He couldn't move it that fast oh what have you doooone.
Though still perfect
And the scene reminded me something that I can't recognize. Very familiar vibe. Tom&Jerry? River as Tom and Coe as Jerry?
They definitely have to drop new episodes every Saturday because I can’t work now, I’m just thinking about how much I want to rewatch it in the middle of the day. I guess this episode might be one of the most quotable ep in SH history! Dande(r)lion 🥹
Putting my thoughts about Slow Horses S5E1 in bullet points because I have to scream about it all:
(Spoilers below)
That opening scene was excellent. The shot where the gunman walks out of sight and all you can hear is screaming, things getting quieter and quieter as he guns down more people, him getting taken out like that??? 10/10
They updated the opening titles!! The whole crew (finally) have their names in there and there's a nice shot of them going down the stairs of Slough House. This made me happy.
Roddy boogeying (if you can call it that) to work blasting Robert Palmer was very enjoyable
His hair looks terrible
I loved seeing Slough House is in the middle of repairs. I wonder if with each episode, more things will be repaired. Also, I'm guessing the Park have sent people to do it, which is why it's taking so long
They have a new door!!! And it's still shit!!!
River making Shirley jump when he opened the new door :(
Emma Flyte vs that incompetent Met Police officer was good, realistic dialogue considering all of the scandals surrounding the Met in recent years
River's being such a bitch I want to hit him but I also want to hug him
Catherine's three references to alcohol throughout the episode - especially the way she looked at that bottle when River put it down - has me worried.
Nigel Farage Dennis Gimbal will be interesting to watch. I love how the book for this season was written in 2018 but the show being out now amid All The Things Happening In The World is so relevant. Mick Herron I salute you.
Jackson coming down before their little party only to take the whole cake and go back up to his office killed me
Catherine and Jackson's scene together. I will likely shout about this in a separate post ("27, in brackets 3" I love her so much)
Jackson calling Shirley "Dandelion" is really cute
Catherine and Shirley <3
River and Louisa's scene was so well-acted and realistic. Him kissing her had me going RIVER NOOOO and hiding under my duvet and then her reaction was perfect. She read him for filth and he deserved it.
And then Catherine read him for filth on the phone for what he said to Shirley and now not wanting to help her. Also deserved that.
Also her concern about her, my shayla 😭😭
"Roddy's with a woman." "....he's what?" LMAO
Louisa is coming back, I refuse to believe anything else.
CATHERINE BEING IN JACKSON'S PHONE AS 'Old Soak' I SCREAMED. HE'S SUCH A PRICK, BUT IT'S AFFECTIONATE OK IT'S AFFECTIONATE
Also her saying 'going home for a bit' at 11.41pm. Why for a bit? Why not just 'going home'? Is she scared to be home by herself after what happened with Patrice in SH? Is she staying at the office more? Is she going to be sitting with him in the dark in silence like the books mentions?? What are you playing at Will Smith 👀
Shirley saying she would rather fuck Lamb than Roddy (same) and then telling River he was "profoundly asexual". Just *chefs kiss*
Their whole scene together in the toilet killed me. Shirley 💔
That woman avoiding kissing Roddy I can't cope with how dumb he is
