Frank Harkness

I am so excited to talk about Season 6, Episode 4, Lost and Found.

Woo! Oh, it's Lamb tries to figure out who Frank is working for.

Sid, River, and Co. do everything, and some of them do their last thing to evade the hit squad.

On the pod, we've got our rankings of the episode.

Okay.

Bubba, I was a little down on this episode.

Why? Look, okay, we know Lamb knows that it's not Frank anymore coming after his people.

That's good.

Yeah, he is.

He's like, hey, by the way, did you know that Frank Harkness killed one of your ex-dogs because he stole all the physical files that you erased

digitally? Yep.

I mean, he's good.

Okay.

I think if you want the show to have River doing a typical River thing...

He knows that they have supposed to have gone dark, but is there a chance because he thought his father, Frank Harkness, was calling him, he didn't turn off his cell phone, and so they're tracing that.

I think that's one option.

This location turns out to be hugely important.

It was once the base of a mercenary organization run by a man named Frank Harkness, who presents American.

in the show um and his he has connections to river that nobody has yet explained right so

but basically this whole operation is he impregnates he's trying to create an army of his offspring

And then it reveals Sam Chapman, a former MI5 operative who works, worked closely with David Cartwright, knows far more about this Layar place than he initially admits.

Chapman finally explains the history.

Decades earlier, David sent Chapman to France to negotiate with Frank Harkness.

Harkness was running a highly unusual Merc thing.

We're a third of the way through now, this sixth season.

And this episode, before we get initial reactions, I've got a question for you, because this episode opened with Frank Harkness looking at a fox whilst eating, which means this is the second episode in a row to open with a fox.

So my question to you is, is it the same fox?

Well, the first fox, its head was smooshed by a lorry.

[laughs] Good point.

Well, fortunately, Lenny Rush has been playing hide and seek before they arrived, because he's still in his hiding place.

So as Hugo Weaving, Frank Harkness, is strangling this guy, his vision is going blurry because of the effort that he's having to put into it.

He's not a young man.

six, episode two, hell yeah.

Your daddy issues, the reemergence of Frank Harkness and his suspicious string of murders put Lam and team on high alert on today's pod.

It's a special pod.

We're going to do things we've always done before.

This is one thing, once again, I said last week's episode was perfect.

Nine out of 10.

But I do have a problem with Frank Harkness, and I actually still have a problem with him, even in this episode.

In watching it, I kind of wish that Jim and Jane, the two assassins, I almost wish they were really the big bad of this season rather than Frank.
