Series 9 Episode 3 discussion

[Beatriz]

I'm so glad I could see this episode so early, I did close the blinds and play it, I can't watch Spooks in plain light

Now the serious stuff or whatever. I really enjoyed this episode, it kept me on the edge of the seat, it must have had some predictable events but they were great moments which make up for them.

Harry and the HS scenes were great, I think we have a new baddie who will play against Harry I must say, as somebody has mentioned before, that he passed from "The man, the legend, the mith" to " not interested in your old-fashioned beliefs" too quickly, but I guess William Towers can be like that if he finds out that he can't manipulate Harry with his nice words.

Secondly, I'd like to talk about the Dr. Kirby storyline. I LOVED it. He was a really kind and honest man and he had also had guts, he was willing to sacrifice his daugther to keep the Paroxocybin away from people he didn't trust. I really fell for him, he had courage. I wish there were more people like him. Very well acted.

I also think that Dimitri and Tariq should be explored further, but I guess (have faith) that we get to know something about them.

Harry and Ruth... Well, I'm more heartbroken, even more than last week, they are going to kill me. I (want to) think that the writers are showing us these struggle to a final happy ending this series... :/

Well, he told her that part of "everything" that we already know -- he was in prison for eight years. He conveniently forgot to tell her that he had been married and also left out the five years prior to his being locked away in Russia. So much for the truth. And, of course, he jumps into a relationship with her -- this plot line is getting to be very predictable and seriously boring.

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought... I can't believe Maya has fallen in Lucas' arms so easily, he said a couple of things and "close your eyes" and they were kissing, and they continued kissing, COME ON!! The only explanation is what Tea Lady said; I haven't thought of this, but it makes sense!!

What I mean is Sugarhorse was revealed slowly about five minutes of every episode until episode 7 was spent on it but it all involved Harry.

Nightingale again we learned very little each episode but what we did was pretty much done via Ruth as a tool to show us how valuable she is to the Grid.
So far Albany is being played out via Lucas. Who it seems is the most disliked character ever on spooks, well on the Spooks forums anyway and he is not popular on the RA sites either.

I disagree here, I really like Lucas character, and it's not a matter of Lucas OR Harry/Ruth thing, you can both like both storylines or the three characters and that's my case (well, to be honest I have an certain inclination to this couple, but I love Lucas). There's no conflict for me.
I still have faith in Vaughan/Albany storyline, we don't know much yet to judge.
Regarding Vaughan I think he hesitate, because Harry knowing the truth wouldn't help him.

One final thought about Lucas, my concern is that I can't believe he loves Maya so much. In series 7, they made us to believe Elisaveta was her true love, and now Maya? hmm I'm not convinced (I don't include here Christine 2.0 because I'm sure he didn't love her, it was just a fling).

Sorry for this endless post
