the thirty days of spooks meme.

There's no way I'm going to get around to posting every day, so here are the first fifteen days of hestia8's meme. I have been avoiding Spooks since series 9 but I feel like a trip down memory lane. Also, in celebration of the fact that although my Yuletide story still has zero words, it now has a plot idea. \o ( Read more... )

good but a little overworked. Nothing like some light recreational tv analysis to ameliorate this, obviously.

The thing about the zombie disease episode was essentially that it is SO CLOSE to my fantasy perfect episode (which is essentially 12 days only with less obvious plot, a cooler disease, more action scenes and I suppose they would have to save the day somehow) that I had to sort of love it. And Zaf was heroic. They got the disease totally wrong obviously and it was all madly implausible but I don't watch it for the realism... (although they will have HAVE to have a wikileaks plot next season)

eh, Zaf's death. He was a hero. I love that bit where Adam says something like 'the next pint's on me' just before he leaves him to his eventual death. It gave me so many fic ideas. And they did do the whole letters-scratched-on-his-corpse thing and it was in short just about tolerable until Jo went and slept with someone else. So I'm reserving judgement.

Looking forward to reading your yuletide story from the lazy position of one who did not sign up! Have a very merry Christmas!

That's true, they did steal pretty much your entire plot. I could have liked Zaf's exit had 6.02 and 6.10 been closer together, but with such a gap in between and oh yes, I forgot that, Jo sleeping with Ben! What!

I cannot of course complain that it gave you so many fic ideas. :D

If there's a wikileaks episode I *might* have to watch next series, but as it stands I am pretty uninterested in doing so. Did you even see any of series 9? There was one really great episode, about China, can't remember if it was 9.04 or 9.06, where Ruth and the new kids were unrelentingly awesome and the storyline came together really well. Don't know what happened after that.
