Remember Harry arriving at the scene saying that they don't know who is who, ie who is bad CIA or good CIA (apologize for the blaring contradiction in terms.)

Nightingale has placed people in positions of power throughout the world and so far we only know a few of them. Any new character will be distrusted as we mostly distrusted the new HS and even Tariq, who I think has had the camera linger on him at crucial times, possibly setting him up as a mole. I'd say the lack of background works in any new character's favor at this point. And, needless to say, nobody is all good or all bad. They are on board with some things and get frightened when they get the drift of what they are aiding and abetting. Even Sarah was scared when certain things happened and she saw what little control she had over the situation she helped to bring about.

I even have some mistrust of Harry from several moments throughout the series.

So, all in all, plenty I disliked but the series did hang together in a somewhat pleasing way.

Well I strongly disagree

If the writers wanted to show the viewers that the Nightingale conspiracy was going to continue on into Season 9 then I really don't think this Seasons finale would have ended the way it did with a mere questionmark over the lives of Ros and the Home Secretary.

Now if Nightingale had of succeeded in their plot and it started a nuclear confrontation between India and Pakistan THEN that definitely would have made for a very interesting Season finale and most certainly would have led us to believe that Nightingale would feature heavily in Season 9.

Plus only personally speaking but I'd really love to see a series of Spooks end with them not preventing a major catastrophe, I think it would really mix things up and could lead to some very interesting story lines.

Anyways these are just my opinions, the poll certainly suggests that most people enjoyed the show so it's been another successful season for Spooks and my views are without doubt in the minority.
