Series 9 rumours - possible spoilers......

[Lovingthespy]

I think it is safe to assume that Lucas didn't make it into the building to rescue anyone. There was no more 1 minute before the bomb went off and he said he was going to go get Ros. He tells Harry he is going back in and then there is a shot of Ros and HS and then a shot of the laptop with 51 seconds until count down. Of course this is TV, but my estimation is this isn't enough time to get back to the building considering they should be a safe distance from a bldg about to explode (far away) - the picture of him running must be a shot they didn't use as he ran back to the bldg to rescue Ros (the background scenery seems to fit that theory). The picture of him falling down forcefully as if from the blast, seems to support this. Yet the other pictures of Lucas and Harry walking...I don't think we can derive anything from. Harry's primary duty is to make sure the Pakistan President doesn't die and gets in front of a camera, no matter how far he'd go for his colleagues, he can't leave the president sitting there by himself.

Traditionally, don't shows shoot extra scenes at the end, as they are already there and dressed in and in make up? I am pretty sure they shoot these scenes regardless of knowing the outcome and what is going to happen in next season. And then next season, they can use which scenes make sense without trying to recreate the day. Actor's contracts run out, can't be negotiated etc. - despite the character these issues will need to be written around.

I just wish Ros had headed into the elevator, perhaps that steal box would have protected one or both of them. Although I really liked Robert Glenister as HS Blake, I was really starting to like HS Andrew Lawrence (Tobias Menzies). I liked him in HBO's Rome too.[/php][/code][/quote]
