Oh dear! I don't find myself as absorbed in this series as the last one (but then I mainlined the last one in a weekend after I got the precious, precious DVDs and it had CE), but I don't think it's bad. I just think they need really to have better connections between the episodes especially as they've laid on some very big interpersonal themes: leaving old companions, leaving behind French women you love, leaving behind old boyfriends whom you care about, etc., and then just leapt on from the. I guess the theme is 'leaving' but it doesn't seem to hit home for either of the characters.
