Series 10 - Episode 6 Discussion

[nothingisasitseems]

Am I going bonkers but I have rewatched the final scenes a couple of times and don't see Tariq's name on the wall of remembrance as some have claimed?

So what is the "definitive ending" as we were promised? As regards Spooks -the programme - I can't see that this ending is such a thing.

Personally, feel a bit cheated that one of Dimitri, Erin or Calum didn't have something dark in their background and after 2 Seasons of Dimitri we know almost as little about him as we did at the start.

It looks to me as if the writers have stolen a march from the ending of ER. I can see where they are coming from with it but as Tea Lady says they could have reached the same conclusion by a different route.

I didn't want Ruth to die but can accept her sacrifice, however could they not at least have let her die happy?

Apparently, I see the scene where Ruth asks Harry to leave the Service and join her in the new house differently to everyone else. Harry gave a little smile but it was non-committal and he only started to mouth platitudes as Ruth lay dying. Her final lines that those things were never meant to be for them shows that she had realised that would never happen.

It feels that Kudos kicked a lot of fans where it hurt most - at least she could have died thinking (even if mistakenly) that they could reach their happy ending.

But overall a great finale episode.
