The end of spooks...

I don't want the show to end with Harry and Ruth looking windswept and declaring eternal love, which is what that image implies. It smacks of fan fiction (to which I am not averse) and has little to do with the themes or storylines that have made the show what it is.

I've expressed elsewhere that I think the show should end with Harry leaving the Grid, not necessarily under pleasant circumstances, with another crisis starting.

Make no mistake I want Harry and Ruth to make it, but not under the conditions this image seems to suggest.

(I just realised that I extrapolated the idea that this was the final image for the show from nowhere. So I may have jumped the gun slightly.)

Yeah, I want Harry/Ruth to be the B-story to some kick-ass spying thing in the last season. I'm not taking that picture too seriously - for all we know that's in episode 2, and then Harry's secret from the past comes to light and it's all downhill from there.

I do want them to get together, though, but I'd like it better if that happens at the start of the season. And I don't think that the last shot being about Harry/Ruth somehow would be that terrible, as long as they earn it through whatever else happens in this season.

Or you know, they can do one of those split-screen thingies with a happy H/R on one side, and the Houses of Parliament blowing up in the other.
