Miles. Awwwwwww Sweetie. S1E6 ---- SPOILERS
What a corker finale!
But who couldn't feel for poor wee Miles?
It never hit home to me until he lurked in the woods and saw Capt. Diddums making his move that he really felt for Kitty and thought he had a chance. Imagine his shock.
That scene reminded one that up to that point, he had NO idea what his best mate old dark horse Tom had been up to. Miles must wonder if he is indeed his best mate not even to share that important a confidence. Must hurt.
Realized then that Miles really believed that "bein' dahhhshin'," almost worked on Kitty, especially when she told him she was glad she'd come to know him. Poor Milesie prolly thought that was an oath of interest, and he was in there with a punt.
Then, poor lad. Has to face reality.
What a shock (I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!) that feisty, sexy Kitty prefers 6-foot tall, muscled brooders with forearms like a lumberjack who knows how to woo a woman under the radar and in total secrecy with puppy dog looks and frequent pained expressions of rampant lust.
At long last, our Diddums was in like Flynn the moment he did not bat an eyelid (okay one or two tiny bats) when she said she was a mum-of-one. He just took it in stride. What a guy.
Then, naturellement, being decent and fab, he responded only by asking all about her daughter. And as a mum who can never even speak of her cherished child (what special kind of torture has that been for her?) she breaks down.
What loving mum would not be won over after that? Kitty's bodice was half-ripped by that point--only metaphorically speaking of course.
Oh Miles, you never had a chance, mate. Sorry.
Perhaps in Series 2, you'll have a chance with Sister Quayle. Keep on "bein' dahhhshin'," Miles. Give that candidate for Bodmin a good seeing to. You'd be doing everybody a favor--take one for the team, Miles. You know you want to.
The whole thing was jam packed, the Cavell incident that turned nicely to save Joan's hide (though I fear Joan the rumored traitor is a dead woman walking once she gets to prison among women who have dead husbands, brothers and sons in the war), poor Roland and his poor lad gone, Sister Quayle partially redeemed but still scheming, Matron somehow subdued after Quayle played a blinder with Purbright, Rosalie finally overcomes her "willy whining" (credit to RamdomMovies for that sobriquet) when a heart breaking soldier desperately needs her, and the budding "bromance/sismance" between Flora and Foley grew to a touching conclusion.
More please. BBC get on the stick and renew. The nightmare of a cancelled "Lilies" after one series, everything left up in the air, still haunts us devotees.
No renewal and it's a gallon of absinthe and laudanum and tantrums in our house. Even Him Indoors is hooked.
Though truth be told I think he was just hoping Oona Chaplin would get naked at least once.
