Spooks 10.4 was one mega yawn fest.
I agree with this commentator from the Vicky Frost blog: Basically, this series is all about filling in time until the Ruth & Harry's Borg Encounter thing is resolved, and I'm getting bored. Fun as it is to watch Erin (I can't decide whether she's from Deep Space Nine or The Colbys), not to mention her android daughter (who's utterly indifferent to being kidnapped by strangers, being quite happy to colour in with a bingo marker until Demetri swoops by), I am in rather a hurry for them to get to the point. I am beginning to think this should have been a three-episode miniseries, focusing entirely on Harry.
The best part was Ruth telling Harry he was "a stupid man." Wow Ruth. I've been saying that since series nine!
I tried to care about Erin's daughter but all that happened was I was reminded of Tom and Maisie back when the show had genuine tension. Also, if Dimitri and Erin get it on that will suck majorly. Oh who am I kidding? It will.
The whole Islamic terror plot thing just reminded me of 2.2 which was an amazing sixty minutes where I actually cared about everyone involved. Oh Series Two. I miss you so. Is it sad that I still miss the theme "Hold me Tight?" That always made me get a lump in my throat.
I don't care about anyone except Ruth, Elena and Sasha. I don't give a damn about the predictable plots of the week. Why do I get the feeling this is going to end in an epic train wreck?
So I went and watched episode two of The Slap, which had far more drama packed into its hour run time than Spooks did. Shame. Series 1-4 were so good.
