meganbmoore | Foyle's War through the end of series 4

Except I think that the end of the US series 4 is actually the UK series 5. Anyway, I completely forgot what the last Foyle I posted on was, and I’m too lazy to check.

This is a series I love, I just don’t have a whole lot to say on it.

A few comments:

1. I lovedlovedloved Stella Gonet’s appearance. Admittedly, at least partly just because it was Stella Gonet. But her manhating but classy feminist kind of makes me think of what Bea (her House of Eliott character) may have ended up if she hadn’t met Jack and so learned that not all men are creeps. (The Eliott sisters have a very bad history with men.) I wouldn’t have minded keeping her around.

2. I was happy that Foyle knew about Sam and Andrew and didn’t mind, but then they broke Sam and Andrew up right after! And…Andrew dumping Sam with a Dear Jane letter for some girl he just met doesn’t seem very like him? But then, he wasn’t in these episodes at all, so I guess the actor was busy with other things? Still, it’s not like Sam’s love life is a major part of the show, so I don’t really see why they couldn’t have just had them still together but with him off at war.

3. I find it odd how I rather like how Foyle was so (outwardly) calm when Sam had anthrax, and how Milner didn’t initially ask how she was. But then, the more unflappable Foyle is, the more invested he is in something.

4. After the middle of the second season, the series seemed to drift away a bit from the earlier “hard choices” theme, so I was glad when the last episode brought Foyle back to the beginning of series 2, where he once again can’t get his man (or, in this case, man and woman) except that, this time, he resigns over it. Of course, there’s one more season to go (maybe more?), so I’m assuming that doesn’t last.
