With Jenny at his flat, Luther leaves to investigate an incident in which, a roll of the dice seems to have determined the perp’s actions. As the crimes escalate, with the man entering an office building and killing/maiming dozens, Luther finds him trying to hide in plain sight. Seeming to have everything under control, Luther returns home to find Jenny’s killed Toby when he tried to rape her, and somewhere else in the city the perpetrator’s identical twin rolls the dice in a crowd.
My Thoughts:
This has to be the weirdest pre-credits scene to date for the show… It felt completely other, which was fine, because the main plot of this episode (the part not including Jenny) was extremely different from the feel of any of the other episodes so far.
I actually really love Jenny. I’d love to see her and Alice interact somehow (fingers crossed for season 3). Her snark is adorable and her mother is atrocious. I called her killing Toby – it wasn’t hard with the previous week’s previews.
Something I love about Toby – He’s proof that you don’t need to be big to be intimidating.
Luther’s posture is quite enjoyable. Hands in his pockets, hunched… like he’s self conscious. It seems entirely opposite of what it should be.
The perp is interesting. His notebook is really cool – and the intricacies of the game make me think it’s possible he could be brilliant. I do love how twitchy he gets when Luther rolls the dice in front of him.
Question for any science kiddies out there: Wouldn’t the acid erode the inside of the squirt gun?
