Slow Horses star says viewers "might be in for a surprise" in season 5

Roddy Ho will be a large focus this upcoming season.

"[I] might throw a few dance moves here and there."

[BOOK SPOILERS/speculation]

Please tell me this means they filmed the club scene. Please. I need Roddy wearing his sunglasses at night. I need Shirley in her natural element. I need the gang brutally dunking on River for how shit he is at picking up women.

I NEED THIS, GUYS.

Sid asks River to be her date to fool her friends into thinking she's moved on from a bad break up. In a surprise to no one who's ever read a romance novel, the only one she's fooling is herself.

(I think maybe you could consider this fluff if you're willing to overlook the teensy tiny ethical violation of banging someone you have under surveillance.)

Never in my life have I wanted two people to lose focus and have a consensual workplace relationship than I have with Langdon and Mel. For many reasons, but mostly because so many people, even her fans, seem to see Mel as this Incorruptible Fairy of Pureness and Good who will help fix Langdon as he comes back from rehab. And I think Mel deserves better than that.

Look, I see a lot of myself in Mel. I’m not autistic, but I am very awkward and anxious and tend to cope with that by being cheerful and overly kind. I give a lot to anything I do and everyone around me, frequently to my own detriment. And treating these qualities like they make someone too good for bad decisions isn’t admiring or flattering or positive representation. It’s infantilizing. To imply that Mel being autistic or even just awkward and anxious makes her incapable of questionable moral choices is demeaning. It treats her as someone who is an ideal, not a person, because people make bad choices. That doesn’t make them bad people (see Langdon and his drug use— bad choice, good person), it just makes them human. So acting like Mel is inherently above that just denies her humanity and personhood, or frames her as incapable of understanding bad choices the same way a child is. So, for Mel to be seen as a full adult, she and Langdon need to have an affair. Not an emotional affair that can be swept away as Mel not understanding relationships, but a full-blown, physical, banging-in-the-on-call-room-until-someone-catches-them-and-even-then-they-don’t-stop-just-yell-for-them-to-leave affair.

TL;DR: Mel and Langdon need to have an affair to push back against ableism.

rewatching the pitt and i neeeeed more details about collins and her relationship with robby. noah said that they broke up around the time adamson died which was 4 years prior. collins is r4 so that would mean they started dating before she started her residency (which i assumed was the case cause if it was a attending/resident romance perlah and princess would know about it). based on actor's age alone she's older than langdon so safe to assume she didn't have a typical pre-med undergrad straight to med school route. so what was her route? what was her career before med school/residency? how did they meet? and did she apply to the residency programme at robby's hospital because of their relationship? only for it to end soon after she started working there? i need details!
