Series 10 - Episode 6 Discussion

[Betty]

I think that the ending was really in keeping with the spirit of Spooks, but I still hate it! That's what happens when characters become as real to you as the world outside...you rage and you grieve. Nitrus says that if you expected a happy ending, you shouldn't call yourself a fan: well, that's like saying that if you expected something better after 55 minutes of foreplay you shouldn't call yourself a lover! (And why DO the British love to make their characters suffer? Spooks is quintessentially British, I think, while The Shawshank Redemption is quintessentially American: I really love both, but for Ruth's sake I would have preferred a Shawshank-style resurrection here.)
