Just watched and it was fantastic. I like that they finally dipped into that dynamic with Syd and River.

So Taverner had someone killed in Russia and used the code name of an agent that was on paper already dead. She did this so that when the Russians want revenge she can sacrifice this agent and nobody asks questions because as far as they know she’s already been dead for years?

What was she covering up? Why did she need this Russian killed so bad that it was worth sacrificing an agent?

She also mentions the actual agent that did it she can’t give up. Which makes me think it was potentially a double agent (maybe the Russian lady that slipped Lamb?).

Lamb is also coming into his own. The scene with Lamb in Taverner’s office had him showing her he’s not the washed up relic she thought he was.

Caught up through Ep. 4. I'm very sad to see my boy Coe go. I knew when him and the assassin met in the bathroom Coe was not going to come out on top. Nice little professional exchange before getting down to business.

Some pretty brutal deaths in that last episode. I'll wait until tomorrow to discuss spoilers.

Best show on TV with a great season finale. Not happy about one of the people they killed off but somebody had to go. The cliffhanger ending left me feeling conflicted. Can’t wait to watch the next season next year.

I just watched the episode, that was something. Still a great show, but a little pissed at some choices the last 2 episodes.

I got behind midway through the season and just caught up last night. Coe’s death was a knife in the heart. He was my favorite SH outside of Lamb. Enjoyed the banter between the little guy and Ho. Fun fact, the little one will be playing Dobby in the HBO Potter series. I hate that Taverner gets to stay First Desk with only a slap on the wrist. Wasn’t a fan of the River cliffhanger and no sign of him in the upcoming season trailer.

Yeah, I agree with all of that. I especially didn’t like Coe’s death, but Flyte also was disappointing. River cliffhanger was unexpected and I immediately looked to see if he was scheduled for S7, but apparently they’re being tight lipped. I suspect he will be. I would have liked a little more Sid and River this season.

Taverner getting away with everything is frustrating. And btw, I wish Cantor would have gotten a pot of molten gold poured on his head.

Yeah, I was just reading up on it. Apparently in the book it’s a doorknob and the series it’s the crowbar.

I had to look the ending up after I finished. I didn't remember the poison being on the crowbar from earlier in the season. Before I looked it up, I watched the ending scene twice and was like "wtf did I miss?"

I'm bummed about Flyte getting killed off. She was solid. She was always too good to be part of the Slough House, though.

I hope Louisa doesn't come back. She had her moments, but I didn't miss her when she wasn't in it.

Taverner can eat a bag of dicks. She has to get her comeuppance at some point, right? The way she erased Sid for a few years, only to bring her back to sell her down the river was extraordinarily shitty. If Lamb didn't have his Joes on the line, I bet he would've loved to take her down.

A few good lines from the episode. Lamb at the birthday party going "She fricking moved," and Harkness going "Whelp, gotta go."

I'm taking a break from the show for a while. He was far and away my favorite Slow Horse. Him not being around kind of takes some of the joy of the show for me.

I went back to E3 to see what happened when the assassin’s showed up at the house. It shows Assassin Jim setting up his kit and then he looks at the crowbar on the counter. And that’s all that was there to suggest it was in play. I completely missed that too.

As far as whether River is dead, I believe he was filming Pride and Prejudice in England at the time of filming the next season so that’d likely make it easier to be tight lipped about whether he made it or not (and is filming). I haven’t read the books so I have no idea.

I need Harkness to die a horrible death.

I might need Taverner to die too.

I’m also ready to move on from Louisa. I feel bad for Shirley. I would’ve been very upset if Ho got taken out and I suspect him learning how to properly shoot will come into play in the future.

Taken from the Russians attempting a assassination of a defector on British soil.

Rapidly losing interest in this show. Like most, started strong and now the writing is shite. Lose Coe but keep Moira? Coes the only one who knew what the frick he was doing, other than Lamb. The endless bitchery and bickering amongst everyone is tiresome and overdone. And I thought one of the strengths was that Tavener was 'establishment ' but also (sorta) one of the good guys... which explained her complex relationship with Lamb. Now she's just another dirty crooked soulless type, like all the rest. Disappointing.

I think Taverner putting herself in a position where she had to be bailed out by Lamb might have been harder on her than going and admitting treason. She owes him now and it looks like next season will have her getting her hands dirty.

Hated that they killed off Coe and Flyte. It’s hard to care about Standish, Moira, and Shirley.
