Spooks

IT'S BACK!!!! \o/ I really do love this show. :D
    Show: Say hello to RUTH!

    Me: OMG RUTH! Actually, I was spoiled for you, but still! RUTH!!!!

    Show: And oh, by the way, she's married to an impossibly gorgeous man now.

    Me: DAMN, HE'S HOT. But maybe he can get killed by the bad guys so Ruth can be with Harry? That'd be swell.

    Show: [KILLS RUTH'S HUSBAND WHILE SHE WATCHES]

    Me: I am a bad, bad person.
I still love Ros quite a lot. (A couple of weeks ago I saw a couple of episodes of Wire in the Blood, and the actress was in that too. Also being awesome.) But Ros still can kick anyone's ass 50 times over and I...might even like her more than Harry. I'm not sure.

Lucas remains very hot, and maybe will go the way of Tom by hooking up with the CIA agent? (Who had such a horrible American accent I couldn't understand her at times.)

I'm kind of surprised Harry's kidnapping was resolved in one episode. I had mentally predicted that he'd be missing for several episodes before they were able to get him back. But where would things be without Harry?

I'm so glad Malcolm didn't get killed. I'm sad he decided to retire, but that is the best possible way to leave MI-5. Plus he got to save Ruth's stepson in the process. *pats Malcolm* If only his buddy had lived - they could get a cabin somewhere and play chess for the rest of their lives. Awwwww. At first I was thinking that we'd be seeing a new person to replace Malcom, but then had a "duh" moment of realizing Ruth was back.

Poor Ruth. She's going to be so traumatized and hate Harry for quite a while now. I imagine it'll take a bit to get her to come back.

But AWWW! Harry asking Ruth if she loved her husband and her avoiding the question. *PETS THEM BOTH* I'm happy Ruth's back. I'm probably not the type of Harry/Ruth shipper where I want them to skip off into the sunset, I just think the actors and characters play off each other incredibly well. It's one of the more interesting relationships on the show. And it's also very sweet in its way.

I do not UNDERSTAND why they cannot find someone who can do a decent American accent. That was the strangest thing I've ever heard, coming out of her mouth. This is why the David Tennant news fills me with trepidation. It would make me sad if he was awful at it.

*nods* It was completely distracting for me. Every time she talked I was paying more attention to her talking than anything else. I think that might be the worst American accent I've heard on this show. Others have been okay or even good.

Oh wait, plot? Yes, I've missed Ruth. I don't exactly ship her and Harry, but I like it. If that makes sense. I like what it does for the characters.

Yes, I completely understand. I think that's how I am as well.

And I really love Harry for not folding, ever. Ros is so meant to be his eventual successor. It is also about time that someone got out of the spying business intact(*hugs Malcolm*). You have to go back until, what, season three? For it not to end in maiming or death.

I'm wondering if Harry's going to retire at the end of this season. It feels like they're setting that up.

ETA: The only thing that I cannot stand about Spooks on occasion is the OTT absurd caricaturing of Americans. Sitting on the porch, waiting for Jesus? Seriously, guys? Unless they're trying to be funny...

Yeah, I'm not quite sure what's up with that. Maybe it's payback for Hollywood making so many bad guys British?

Like you, I kind of get the feeling that Harry might retire soon. On the other hand, for all that Ros *could* believably be his replacement, it feels like the show should end once Harry leaves. He's the only one left, after eight seasons, after all.

Yeah, it really would be a good time to end things. It's really been all about Harry's gang the whole time. He's this huge force that I'm not sure they should even try replacing on the show.
