Featured review
Good but Didn't Stick the Landing
Seed of Cunning was one of the best episodes so far IMHO, until the contrived ending where Lynley suddenly became dumb. The plot was interesting and more suspenseful than usual, and Tom and Barbara were working well together, instead of arguing every step of the way like they have been for the past five or so episodes.
Having said that, I was taken completely out of the story at the end because they're searching for a document that they KNOW is dangerous and trying to be covered up, yet Lynley leaves it in the easiest to find place he possibly could; his car. There's a moment where he goes to put it in his desk and decides against it, so it's assumed he tries to find a better hiding place. Nope, he just takes their only real piece of evidence with him to meet the only remaining witness.
So there's no resolution here, and no backup plans even occur to him; such as approaching the opposition and describing what they found like another reviewer pointed out. The ending of the next episode is also strange, so perhaps it's the beginning of a pattern...
