I've finally seen all of the OUTSTANDING Spooks S7, and during the first ep realized immediately that I had to do a picspam dedicated to the GORGEOUS AND AMAZING Richard Armitage, and his character Lucas North, in all his badass MI-5 glory.
meet Lucas North - he’s just been released from a Russian Prison. he fantasizes about fish and chips, and has his dreams come true (“nom nom nom”)
Lucas, Adam. Adam, Lucas
"chip?".... BEST FRIENDS 4-EVAR!… at least until the end of the episode :(
OH HAI RICHARD ARMITAGE. just a totally gratuitous appreciation. BUT NO LUCAS NOT THE SHIRT!
he’s smiled more in the last 10 minutes than he did in all three seasons of Robin Hood. it’s freaking me out.
going on a secret mission with his best friend!
Adam is totally impressed by his new bff's genius. Lucas yells in russian and is suitably pleased with himself
No swords here - just a total badass MI5 karate chop
more to ogle. I require RA to be shirtless at least once in every episode (or without any other article of clothing the show deems fit
BFFS TO THE RESCUE! (let me have this!) THEN FINDING OUT HIS BEST FRIEND JUST DIED. :( SAD!
HE FLIRTS AND OFFERS TEA TO SWEET LITTLE OLD LADIES WHO BRING HIM MACAROONS
omg Guy flashback
smiley even when doing bad double-agenty stuff
always food with this one. he offers Malcolm a donut but then UH OH IN TROUBLE FACE
srsly what are these paintings?? are they supposed to have some kind of russian prison symbolism?
yeah, I broke into your house. WHAT?
part of the gang. MI-5 FOR REAL.
SO TORTURED
BUT SRSLY THE SMILING U GUYS
“colleagues are ok.”
OK, CAN WE GET TO THE SEXZ NOW? KTHNX
NAUGHTY FLIRTING. “colleagues” MY. ASS.
RA being all quippy - AND OVER A BOMB - still continues to astound me. and makes me heart him a bajillion times more
yes, that is a bomb in a microwave. this is obvs something he’d never be able to do on Robin Hood
god he makes my stomach flutter like woah. don’t be sad Lucas, Ros can make it better. if she’s still hung up about Adam, I’ll willingly tag in.
RAWR. RA/Lucas in a suit. NICE. excuse me while I cap the crap out of this scene
Lucas n’ Ros say “TADA!”
“This is my partner, ‘Pete’.”
“Fiancee ‘Pete’. Hi.”
HEH. I’d be smiling like that, too, if RA just laid one on me. Lucky bitch
Lucas chit chats about Beyonce with a teenage ebay arms dealer
he looks so excited to be off on another russian adventure [although, it doesn't look to be all that painful...]
bein’ all hot and actiony and DAMN CAN THAT MAN WEAR A SHIRT
even shot (with blood pouring out of him) he’s still hotter than 99% of everyone else on the planet
Connie's blown herself up and HARRY'S MISSING, OH NOES!
Now off to catch up on S8! But I have to say, I've seen 8x01, and "Sarah Cawfield" - DO NOT WANT! 1) because i flove lucas/ros and 2) because that is a HORRENDOUS american accent lmao
eta: I realized I had fogotten a few amazing cap-worthy moments, so a few more caps/commentaries have been added.
