Here, here!

On my part, being such a RA fan, it was great to watch his performance, IHMO it was great to watch so many feelings cross his face and also a little painful. The suicide scene was *very* harrowing. I was almost screaming 'No Lucas, don't, please', although I knew perfectly well he wouldn't 'cause he still alive 'now' When Oleg called him to tell him he got Sarah, the frustration and anger in Lucas face, and when Oleg said 'she's with me, you know what that feels like', the pain....

I think you could imagine Lucas being damaged by 8 years in prison plus torture but not to what extend, now we know. Going through this, seeing again his torturer and confront him has helped him a little,if he's suffered the Stockholm syndrome he's overcome it a little although he's still shaky. And Sarah that evil #@&%##!!! is/will take advantage of that.
About her, I'm interested about the turn of her character, so she's very involved with Nothingale (sp?) because as soon as her boss insinuated he was close to get some good information he got killed. I did NOT see that coming
She's getting interesting but get-her-AWAY-from-Lucas. She's TROUBLE and he's letting her too close, this equals BIG problems... sigh.


Allright, it was so sweet the scene with Harry and Ruth and like how he encouraged her to prove her information and when she half smiled

I'm sorry the CIA boss had to die, I liked him and although I can't really recognize the difference in accents (not being native english speaker, easy to tell I know :rolleyes I felt it more steady than Sarah's, at least when Lucas confronted her in his apartment, I think I noticed an british accent...

(About the accents, now that I'm mentioning it, where is Ruth from? Everytime I hear her, her accent is what I, at least, imagine how the british accent sounds or when I hear someone trying to make a british accent I think they try to make it sound like that.
Usually when watching Spooks I'm not reminded it's a british show unless I hear words like flat or lift or a few times I catch a particular intonation in the final sentence...so I wonder, sorry for the OT)

One thing that I notice and somewhat bothers me, when Ruth brings out that paper with the russian telephone number, she has just got the info, Harry takes it out of her hand reads it and says 'What IS that' and Tariq about 2 meters away looks at the paper at that distance and says is russian. I mean is a minimal detail, but I expected him to take the paper read it or at least go besides Harry and then say what it was, not say it without even give it a proper look.

Enough of babbling. See, this is what happens when you summon me almh
