Shots from BS episode 5


Some nice ones here. The episode is supposed to be the best so far:

Some of the shots that are being posted are quite steamy and I don't think we've seen RA in a sex scene like this since Between the Sheets:

This is a favourite moment with some fans when Esther, the morning after the night before, takes Daniel to the spot where his mother died. He is upset by what she says and, also, he begins to see the light:

This one's nicely lit. Great eyelashes:

And here's a laughing one for a change where he's eating M&Ms in the car with Esther:

That sex scene beats the *bleep* out of BTS. Rich and whoever set that up deserve awards for spectacular strength and steaminess.

Episode 5 is truly great. Except for Ms. Tander, the cast is awesome, and RA reaches new dimensions.

What's your problem with her?

I can't stand Ifans, I think he was miscast. As lost agent and human being he's ok, but as someone whom women find irresistible... well, gosh NOPE! Now way all those ladies would fall for him. I'd call the police if I'd see him next to me. So... very poorly cast, imo. RA would have been much more appropriate, as a choice.

I also dislike Jenkins, he's overacting a lot. Apart from how much despicable Frost is, he is stressing too much.

Having read spoilers and seen those leaked pics, I have an idea of how BS can develop and end. I hope writers have been good, otherwise it will sound ridiculous.

Olen Steinhauer, the author, is apparently very good when it comes to a twist at the end.

Jenkins would be OK if it weren't for the fact that he is involved with two women as if he were a sex god. I find it difficult to see the attraction. I wish we hadn't seen him naked, LOL!

I like Rhys and I think he is suitably seedy in the part, especially with that thinning hair that refuses to lie flat. Tell me, peeps, are we supposed to think that he is Thomas Shaw? Or is that a red herring? And what about Daniel? Esther says to him: "You're beginning to sound just like Thomas Shaw." She is playing him but is he playing her? And are these all red herrings too?

Some more gifs and pics.

For those who didn't see it, here are two gifs of the sex scene, both on the same page. Scroll up/down:

Morning after:

And people really like that scene when Esther reveals some truths about Daniel's mother and then he realises that their night together meant nothing and seems very upset.......or is this all pretence on his part? What might he be trying to dig out of her? Does he deliberately try to sound like Shaw to find out where her sympathies truly lie? Does he just pretend to be upset about his mother and about Esther playing him to make her think that his emotions are involved and that he will be easy to manipulate? Anyway, here's a gif in which we can see his face working as 'realisation' dawns:

I guess Mina's trying to play a cold and ruthless person, but there's almost no range of emotion or expression. She shows passion, of course, during the sex.

I love Ifans' work. Danny's cousin met Hector when Danny was there, so it's reasonable that she might trust him a little.

I like Rhys Ifans and Leland Orser.

Tom Hiddleston who? 

reply

Seeing those BS caps and gifs made me think of that much talked about scene in The Night Manager.

Unpopular opinion, but those bum shots in Berlin Station felt gratuitous to me. RA's backside is becoming a familiarity.
