RE: Plot-holes
^I think the reason I am more bugged by this then other shows is because Spooks really has sold itself as an intellectual drama based on a degree of realism (at least within the world they have created). So when Robin Hood series two finale happened, yes it was annoying and I thought the writers were idiots but Robin Hood never had any pretensions of being anything more than a made for tv swashbuckling style adventure romp with some pretty people to look at from week to week so really that kind of "shock" story was to be expected. Spooks as a show does sell itself as something more and therin lies my annoyance.

With Spooks, there have been many plot holes even from the get go because of the nature of the storylines, but these plot holes never broke my belief in the Spooksiverse itself (Juliet could have done in series six but she was never a main character and only had one story that didn't have to affect everyone else so I could just move on. Ditto for the Home Sec in series nine. It's weird and doesn't make much sense but I can deal with it because you can just ignore it for future episodes once its out of the way. With Lucas you absolutely cannot because he was a central character for three series.)

Obviously people watch things for different reasons and as I said before obv. people DID like Jucas storyline, but by the same token, just as many didn't. Which comes back to Silktie's reminder that we all have our own opinions and its pretty obvious none of us are going to change them. Also, I'm no mod but perhaps this kind of discussion belongs in the 'How did you feel about series nine' thread in terms of discussion of what we loved/liked/didn't like about the show?
