I mean, Ros became Section Chief after helping her father try to stage a coup, and then betraying the country and the team with Yalta. If that's not enough to make someone unsuitable, a little alcoholism and a disreputable discharge is nothing.

Well you are right about one thing, if Lucas/John can be Section Chief and no one has noticed his issues, I guess I shouldn't be shocked if Alec ends up Section Chief!

Well considering the way they've butchered his character, unless they ret-con Series 9 or find some redeeming storyline, I'd rather he stay dead too. If nothing to just save me the suffering and energy spent muttering angrily at the TV.

Ha! Good luck with that wish, never worked for me. I'd suggest maybe you should wish for more worst case scenarios, at least then you won't get your hopes up.

And well, this is Spooks, there will always be a mole or something going crazy. I'd say someone will probably die again in Series 10 too.

I like to see a season-long arc resolved, Nightingale is still floating around, maybe they should resolve that.

I'm also under the impression that we might have a bit of a time skip when the next series starts.

(No matter how much i'd like to find out what happened in those 48 hours... )

Clearly there has to be some screen time for Harry's investigation. We wouldn't have had that last scene I am sure, if S10 was just going to start off several months down the line. The opening episode of a series is always a little bonkers and edge of the seat stuff to get the viewers hooked, so this will need to be combined with the Harry investigation. I am sure that this sort of investigation would take months anyway.

The question is why we had that roof scene, 48 hours after. My initial reaction was that it was to hide the lack of Harry's head wound, but then again that sort of head wound would not be gone in 48hrs. In fact, it would probably look worse. I still think therefore there is a chance they will fill this 48hr gap.

What if Alec is kept on just to investigate Harry? He didn't seem to have any qualms so long as he is being paid.

i reckon the downfall of harry will be something insignificant like the shooting of the russian spy in series 7 if i re-call, the one that tortured lucas if i remember correctly... something like that will come up and kick him in the nuts.. however i dont think harry's job could be done purely by the book as such.. i love harry hes so witty and sarcastic, yet so powerful and serious at the same time..

Yes, I agree the past maybe his downfall rather than the Albany episode. I would have thought though, that Harry would have been very careful about destroying physical evidence of his past exploits, as he went along. Perhaps more likely, is that former colleagues of his turn against him and give evidence. Although there can not be many of them left alive now Wink

This would be an interesting idea. More plausible than Alec being made Section Chief as he was originally in Internal Affairs. But will the whole of series 10 be taken up with investigating Harry? I hope not, but if the same writers are on board anything would be possible.

Agreeing with BravoNine, I want Lucas to wake up from a coma - induced by the nightingale bomb? - and it all to be a bad dream.
I know it is so unlikely he will come back but I cannot believe Lucas would jump off the roof. Admittedly he was stopped from hanging himself in prison but it took him a long time to pluck up the nerve to put the noose round his neck, this is after years of psychological and physical torture. During that time he was also lumbered with the guilt of killing Lucas no.1 so I don't see that the guilt of betraying Harry would result in him jumping to his death, he had a gun in his hand he could have used that. He's a spook for crying out loud, he can disappear if he wants to and 5 will never find him.

Sorry rant over, yes I also think that there will be a gap between the end of series 9 and the start of series 10. It would be such a raw topic to continue straight after. That or the beginning of the first episode will tie up any loose ends then skip ahead.

Sorry but I don't want Lucas back, I think there was far too much on him in the last series

Kirayuki · 29-11-2010, 10:06 PM

Couldn't agree more. I was waiting for him to leave... and now he's gone. Please leave it that way. Smile

I speculate that series 10 may very well be the last series... don't know how i feel about that. I'd be glad for it to end on a nice number but i fear it may be too rushed and end without much viewer satisfaction if this is the case. Here's hoping it all turns out alright in the end.

BravoNine · 29-11-2010, 10:22 PM

Here's hoping that the writers won't butcher another storyline if this is the last series, I suppose everyone could always die of a nuclear explosion, that may be nice! And then the series ends as Section D is completely revamped and replaced after everyone's dead, so it's a new era. Too crazy? Maybe I've had too much sugar.... Dodgy

Well as for Lucas being in too much of Series 9, it's more of the writers' fault for practically dropping anvils on people's heads, and the storyline was ridiculous even I would want him to stay gone if they can't redeem him.

Please no... That would connect it with Code 9 and i think i can safely say that nobody wants that!
