Series 10 - Episode 6 Discussion

[Nitrus]

I just can't comprehend how people don't get what that ending was all about, the significance of it and how it ties in with everything Spooks has done and been for the last 9 years.

Perhaps it is a bit harsh to question people's fandom but for me, in my opinion, it would have been wrong for Harry to have had a happy ending. That's just not what the show has been getting at for the last 10 series.

The show has always been trying to portray a fictional image of life in the security services, and in that fictional image, there is no happy ending and that's make me respect Harry so much more. He does all this year after year, knowing that there is no happy ending.

If Spooks had a happy ending, it would be like saying that everyone from all series had been doing it because they knew or they thought there might be a happy ending and that is a horrible defamation of their memory and honour.
