Series 10 - Episode 6 Discussion

[JHyde]

Last one! Go forth and discuss...

(This thread will be opened about half an hour before the episode airs...)

[Nitrus]

Anyone else nervous?

[Scarlet]

Felt like posting this -seemed apt...

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

See you on the other side in an hour and a half everyone......

Single malt is at the ready - I remain optimistic that this will be a proper ending for Spooks. Enjoy, everyone!

[Beatriz]

I'm nervous and anxious and sad and I don't know what else!! A mixture of feelings!!

[Agent Acme]

Gawd... I've actually got butterflies!

Fingers, toes and everything else crossed for a great send off to a remarkable series...and Harry and Ruth of course! x

I'm just getting ready to start ep 5 - I have to wait for it on iPlayer so I've got a an hour or so to go at least. I've rewatched the entire series thus far and already the bottle of red wine open (should I really be admitting to drinking alone at 2 pm on a Sunday afternoon?)

At 3 pm my time (9 pm in the UK) I'll be raising a glass in toast to Spooks, all the wonderful actors that have made me love it so, and to all the Spooks fans out there, especially those who are sharing in my anxiety at the moment. I'm still hopeful for a happy ending. It will be really hard not to sit on this site and watch the posts come in, but I'll keep busy with other stuff.

So sad.... but so perfect.

I'm in a state of shock! all very Greek tragedy in the end and didn't the last episode fly past?!
