I am eating this nonsense up with a spoon, mostly due to the metric ton of angst they've piled in to the mix (though make no mistake, it is total nonsense).

Because the first time I watched this I was eating dinner, I had to watch it again to make the notes. If it had been episode 1 or 2 I might not have bothered, but there was some good stuff (mainly angst, admittedly) going on in this episode. 

1. Ah. Turns out something that was a big surprise to me at the end of this ep is revealed in the title sequence in the cast list. WELL DONE ME.
2. Generally, everyone in this universe can be safely assumed to be a bastard. I’m not sure there’s actually been a nice one among them yet.
3. Oh, Sam. There are SO MANY more hats in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
4. When does Sam sleep? Seriously.
5. When you look at this plotline as a whole, it is a load of baloney.
6. And they’re all such miserable buggers as well.
7. I would really love one of them (probably Faulkes if he doesn’t end up dead) to just be like ‘yeah, well, I’m being paid for this shit, sports car and a rolex tyvm’. But no.
8. I don’t get why all these suspicious people never, ever think that someone might have found their tracker because they’re all suspicious bastards too.
9. HA. OMG SAM’S EX-MARK.
10. Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear.
11. I still fail to care about Sam’s ex shagging Indira Varma (although at least they’re in a fairly nice hotel)
12. And Indira Varma is an MI6 agent! Boom.
13. I love how Sam’s idea of proportional response is to smack someone in the face with a fire extinguisher. OBVIOUSLY. Her thought processes must be amazing.
14. Sadly gun beats fire extinguisher, which is a shame.
15. This whole thing with the bids is just DULL. I understand what’s going on, but it’s boring.
16. Everyone thinks the mole is Aiden. Because he’s a dick.
17. Faulkes is really in the wrong show
18. The MI6 stuff is just a bit…pathetic? Like, why are they so bothered about Aiden? It’s not like he’s hiding his job or anything.
19. Oh Faulkes. What is wrong with you, dude?
20. AHAHAHAHAHA OH AIDEN.
21. “Hassan didn’t wear boots.” WHAT THE FUCK?
22. THAT DOESN’T EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE
23. Character development for Deacon!
24. And it is, of course, angsty as fuck.
25. Maaaaaaan, Keel’s a bastard.
26. “You tell me what you know or I’ll kill you.” << this show in a nutshell
27. Sam, try to look less shifty, ok?
28. According to my dad you have to have a membership card to get into a working men’s club (although not sure if this counts if you’re just looking for a dude)
29. I feel like Faulkes could be a really interesting character. Kind of hoping he gets a bit more to do (that isn’t whacking people with snooker balls)
30. Yeah, let’s just go and have a meeting by a lake in the snow, why not?
31. Character development for Zoe! Also of the angsty type.
32. “You’re getting pissed with Dave? That’s your big plan?”
33. “Do you think screwing me gives you a pass?”
34. Come ON, lady, clearly he does.
35. Also, COME ON, you’re MI6 and she’s nothing to do with you, why should he let you know?
36. So you thought she might have put a hit on Sam and you decided to sleep with her?
37. This MI6 stuff is really odd.
38. “I decide when this is over.”
39. OH LOOK A POLE DANCER
40. For fuck’s sake.
41. Ha, Sam. Sneaky lady!
42. The old geezer’s heavies don’t have much variety in their routines, do they?
43. Jesus, Sam, stop leaving the kid alone.
44. What’s a run-off? Presumably they go back and look at the figures in more detail? Idk.
45. Fight!
46. Oh dear. Perhaps you should have aimed at his legs or something?
47. Hourglass! Yay for shady conspiracies.
48. Needs more nonsense in the name, though. Hourglass is a proper word, it’s no Sugarhorse
49. Apparently it should be Fowkes not Faulkes according to IMDB (I doubt anyone cares). Hmph.
50. SCHENK!
51. Who is SUCH a Smiley expy he’s even called George.
52. I cannot even tell you how many clichés there are in this scene. I’m going to presume it was intentional, lol.
53. Oooooh he’s something to do with Hourglass. Didn’t see that coming *coughcough*
