what. what. this is not fair. this is changing all the rules two years into the game.
“You didn’t say hello,” Lestrade says, as John Waston walks past on his way to Sherlock, who’s already flourishing off his shock blanket and pitching it through the open window of a squad car. “And that’s a bit fucking rude, even for a Yomper.”
John turns, head cocked warily. He looks Lestrade over, frowning intently.
“Do I know you?” he asks, but there’s something sharpening behind his eyes already.
“Not to see my face, no,” Lestrade says. “But you’d recognize the sole of my boot if you felt it.”
“You’re that fucking SAS officer from Camp Tangiers,” John says, his grin already overtaking his gaping disbelief. “What are you – no, that’s all. What are you?”
“Watson, right?” Lestrade grins as they grab each other’s forearms and shove playfully. “Captain Watson?”
“Major Gregson – but, it’s not really Gregson, is it?” John laughs.
“Lestrade,” Lestrade says, “Lestrade’s my real name.”
“You’re in the police now?” John demands.
“Ye – sort of,” Lestrade says.
” … I see,” John says. “Jesus. I hope you’re getting danger money, because he’s a piece of work.”
“The unstoppable doing the impossible for the ungrateful,” Lestrade shrugs. “You know the drill.”

If you’re not sure what’s going on here, have a link to the miniseries website.
My initial prediction of the plot was that Dragutin brings down the plane through the sheer power of his ruggedness (jet engines are NO MATCH!) and then seduces the President into a gay love affair to send the US public into chaos. But I see this has been cunningly undercut by the casting of a woman as the President (Linda Hamilton! Oh man this thing is wall-to-wall BAMF). So it seems that instead we will have a titanic battle of hot male ruggedness and hot female ruggedness for the fate of the nation.
TRAGICALLY, however, according to IMDB, apparently Dragutin/Graves is only going to be in a couple of episodes. ;_;
