I daren't say a word. ;-)

Very wise! Ah, even when I'm only three weeks behind it might as well be two years...

belantana December 6 2008, 11:04:28 UTC

Oh my, you did very well not to reply to one of the points in my list in particular. Well done.

I know. It's just as well it wasn't a real life conversation... And that was a quick three weeks! ;-)

Thread 5

I've followed your link over from spooky_doings. I completely agree with your first point - all of it. Ros&Harry are brilliant (it's so nice to see a close, caring yet platonic m/f relationship on television), she definitely shouldn't sleep with Lucas, and her being in charge is just brilliant. I really miss Ruth, still! And as for point 7 - I too am nervous, though I can't quite pinpoint why. I hope the finale doesn't leave me in floods of tears!

Hello! I'm glad someone agrees with me about Ros/Lucas. I've always loved the platonic relationship aspect and Spooks has a record of developing completely unbelieveable relationships, while ignoring potentially-brilliant ones (eg. Tom/Zoe, Jo/Zaf, Harry/Ruth for three entire series.)

etoilefilante December 6 2008, 21:48:00 UTC

Ah, Tom/Zoe, Jo/Zaf, Harry/Ruth! I did like Adam/Ros in series 6, too. But I definitely think they should keep Ros/Lucas platonic. How realistic is it that you fall for every new member of your team in the revolving door that is Spooks? Not very!

And I like your Jo icon. I used to like her a lot, but recently they've hardly given her anything to do but look fraught with big eyes and over-dyed hair, which makes me sad. I hope they make a return to old Jo.

Ergh, I was cautiously open to Adam/Ros at the start, but by the end of series 6 it made me want to stab my eyes out with a fork. Or, you know, Adam's eyes. But I won't hold it against you! :)

It seems to me Jo has got more to do than she ever did, but why she has to do it with bleached-blond hair is quite beyond me. Bring back Jo's hair, I say!

I thought I'd replied this before; oops.

1. ROS. What I love about this series is that finally we have moved away from the white male angst being the focus - and it works better with Lucas simmering away in the background.

2. YES YES YES.

3. YES YES YES.

4. Hahahaha, I had forgotten that! What is it with them and surnames?

5. I heart Connie.

6. I heart Malcolm lots.

7. Harry's apparent lack of intelligence makes me nervous.

8. Elisabeta rather disappeared, didn't she? Let's hope her plotline is done...

belantana December 11 2008, 21:32:36 UTC

and it works better with Lucas simmering away in the background - Exactly. Less is more, people.

I didn't expect Elisabeta to disappear entirely... I rather hope she makes a minor reappearance. She was a lot more interesting than just "the ex".
