It seems we all agree on a few points:<br />1. this series is good (or at least better than the previous one)<br />2. Richard has done an awesome job at interpreting his Lucas/John. <br />3. Richard is great at playing baddies.<br />4. We all are looking forward to the final episode though we know what it'll mean ...(very few still expect a miracle!)Maria Graziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876779286144473782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-84002483919515796972010-11-04T12:38:01.753+01:002010-11-04T12:38:01.753+01:00Right now I just can't wait to find out what t...Right now I just can't wait to find out what the heck Albany is. In Richard's interview with David Stephenson he gave a few clues away and I don't think my first guess is correct anymore. Anyway there will be more twists before the end I'm sure. It's been an amazing series of Spooks, I've loved it and the last few episodes have gone up another level in terms of drama and quality of script IMO. Brilliant stuff.<br /><br />The Harry/Lucas scene was 14 minutes long, like a little play! Wonderfully acted and brilliant scripting I think. <br /><br />I'm not convinced by the Lucas/Maya storyline but then we haven't seen them together really. It's been a couple of minutes here and there and not enough to really invest in the couple. But that's the only negative aspect for me.<br /><br />Can't wait for Monday!Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17949685705734303997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-86490489708761099802010-11-04T07:44:15.893+01:002010-11-04T07:44:15.893+01:00No, you're not alone Avalon, and RAFrenzy, and...No, you're not alone Avalon, and RAFrenzy, and MG: I always fall for the baddie in general, and especially for RA's baddies <3 He does baddies so well, so nuanced characters... how can a girl not to fall for them?<br />But I have a strong feeling he won't end up being a baddie: as Ian Wylie said, we are prepared for more plot twists in next (final, sigh!) episode! <br />As for the writers, as you say there are some major plot holes, but this series is much better than the previous one, so I'll suspend my judgment until the very end, prepared for the usual cliffhanger *rolls eyes*<br />Great performance from RA, and we're supposed to get more next monday, according to Ian Wylie: I loved his comment "Richard Armitage's FINEST HOUR" :D<br />K.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16379500796509756719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-19474335909701656982010-11-04T07:10:59.214+01:002010-11-04T07:10:59.214+01:00@Time_4_t, Avalon, RAFrenzy

He is so convincing as a baddie. One of his scenes I've re-watched more often is John Mulligan's in prison, Moving On. But I like to think John Bateman started playing the hero and like it so much, he convinced himself he COULD BE Lucas North.Maria Graziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876779286144473782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-63161179613355449222010-11-04T03:49:41.351+01:002010-11-04T03:49:41.351+01:00Oh, I'd like to see him really be a baddie in ...Oh, I'd like to see him really be a baddie in this, but I don't think that's going to happen. It could be a repeat of the baddie getting redemption ala Gisborne.

And to have some of the humour back too.<br />But Heavens Above...poor Lucas/John! I am still trying to cope with this storyline. RA has been fantastic working with perplexing storyline and I still think (ok hope) there is some sort of mind-trick, hypnotic suggestion that is causing all of this, because, I always come back to Lucas telling Elizaveta in series 7 - "I was MI-5 when we met, I was MI-5 when I was in prison, and I am MI-5 now." I just can't shake that.<br /><br />Anyway, I am eagerly looking forward to Monday for the last episode of series 9! And then will be going mad with anticipation for the start of series 10!tyme_4_thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550969229826412594noreply@blogger.com
