The end of spooks...

[lottanyman]

I've tried to let the news of Spooks S10 being the last sink in over the weekend and wait for what I would think after a few days of contemplation.
Reading the announcement last week was not really a shock as I already expected S10 to be the last. There have just been too many indications and hints to be able to hold up much hope that it would go on. But still it's a strange feeling to have the confirmation that now we are really facing the end.

Inside I'm really torn as on the one hand I surely can understand Kudos motives to end Spooks on a high as so many of you have already pointed out.

Also reading the comments to the articles in the Guardian etc. made me realise again that there is big a amount of "normal" viewers who are not so very much devoted to this show and can accept these news and are just hoping for a few more hours of action packed spy TV.

I however am really dreading the end and although I want to watch the new episodes and I'm waiting for the official air date I also want to stretch the moment we're now in for as long as possible as this will all be over much too soon.

I'm quite sure of course that this board will not be closed down (at least not immediately) as Spooks will give us and even new fans much more things to discuss but I also know that it will be different.

I will really miss the anticipation for a new series, speculations and stories of filming etc.
What I hope for now however is an end with which we all can live with...
