So, Spooks is finished.

[distractogirl]

And Veronica Mars has finished (week before last), so my television schedule is somewhat depleted. Which is a good thing since I think I watch too much television. Funnily enough my father doesn't seem to think so - he watches more than me - and parts of what I watch don't actually count as being watched, happening as they do while I'm reading

"The big question raised in this episode was - why in the world was the Prime Minister not at the COBRA meeting about something that will kill him if he doesn't do anything about it!"

Wasn't he abroad somewhere? Maybe Tokyo?

"The Spooks writers seem determined to make it look as if we are governed by people that don't actually care about us, but prefer to care about money and power, and international standing. It's very cynical of them if not the littlest bit worrying. Also, it suggests that the government is rather more controlling than we are actuall aware of."

Call me cynical but it wouldn't really surprise me if any of that were in fact true ;o)

And I agree that this was a weak episode in what was, I hate to admit, something of a weak series ;o(

I couldn't help coming away from this one thinking "So, how long can you struggle underwater for holding your breath, exactly?"...

And if nothing else they'd have been better off ending just before they broke through the surface, and it would have been better if he hadn't pulled Ros up with him (yet), just to keep us guessing till the next series.

Now at least, we know that they survived that bit. I'm assuming that meant that they were out in the Thames and ok...?
