[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 252801, member: 8"] You're both right of course, I could not predict with 100 percent certainty that it wasn't Ted. Perhaps I should have said "I refused to believe it", based on the clever writing for the previous seasons. Line Of Duty is indeed very plot-driven but I think it still needs to be grounded in something real, something the viewers can believe in. Maybe it would have worked at the end of series 2, or even series 3, but at this point it would feel too much like a retcon, and I just couldn't believe that they would sacrifice the show's integrity on the altar of the unexpected plot twist. Then they may as well pick Steve or Kate. I hadn't really picked it up until they revealed the McGillis history, but now I wish I had. Has it already been shown in the UK? How was it? Me too, usually when they explained something in technobabble style about phone tracking and forensic evidence, or when I didn't immediately recognize a name. I was afraid to miss an important detail. [/QUOTE]
