State of the television
I have caught up on Spooks. And I am now starting S4 of The Wire, OMG, what in God's name will I do with myself when I have exhausted both of these wonderful shows? There's another season of Spooks coming up, though, yes? Soon? Anyway, The Wire 4.01, which is paused right now because I just screamed with joy ( spoilers, The Wire 4.01, as if it wasn't obvious )
AGREED! Aside from the terrible accent, Sarah was just not interesting and the relationship with Lucas never felt authentic...it is indeed annoying that so much screen time was wasted on that. I loved the bits of humor involving Ros and Lucas in the last couple of episodes -- it's like someone decided all of the sudden that it would be OK to let them banter a bit and it was wonderful (like Ros "small talking" Lucas about perfumes, which I found hilarious because I'm into perfumery right now and knew about civets).
I found a vid song for a Ros vid...*sniffle* Looooove her and the song is so perfect and damn, those DVD sets are indeed expensive. Maybe at some point.
I feel the same way about Ruth and Harry. Their interaction made S8 a lot more interesting. I really like Harry, he's got a special place in my heart, and I felt for them.
In some of S8, I was almost to the point of fast-forwarding to Harry and Ruth moments and skipping the rest :-) I adore them both and I really love how he's been towards her since she returned: there's no artifice, he's just gentle and kind and ready to jump the moment she says "go." When she asked him if she wanted to go for a drink, he was out of his chair and on the way out the door almost before the words were out of her mouth...LOVE that (of course, then another crisis/disaster began and the five seconds of Harry/Ruth ended).
