New Fan from New England - langley - 14-02-2011 08:37 PM
Hi, All,
I just wanted to introduce myself and let you all know how much I'm enjoying this forum. I actually started watching Spooks (MI-5 here) at Season 7 because I was a huge fan of RA. I watched it on the Netflix streaming queue, but then Seasons 8 and 9 weren't available on Netflix (they still aren't) so we decided to go back to season 1. The staff was totally different! But we recognized some of the actors from Death at a Funeral, so we were happy about that. I soon learned about the Spooks way of killing off the main characters.
So after watching Season 7 and then 1-4, we couldn't get Season 5 because it was only available via DVD and there was a long wait to get it, so I found a place online to watch it. Then I got really upset that Ruth left and I had to find out if she would ever come back. So I Googled Ruth and found out she came back in season 8, so I skipped season 6 (and I'd already seen season 7) and watched Seasons 8 and 9 online and then went back and watched season 6.
So I've never actually watched all the episodes in a linear fashion.
I couldn't sleep and could barely eat for about 3 weeks because I got so caught up in the Ruth/Harry story.
Now I'm dying to find out what happens in season 10, and as I posted in another thread, I'm hoping to go to London to watch the first episode!

Hi Langley, hope you have fun on the Forum.

Thanks, Belle!
Love your name - that's my father's nickname for me! I'm thinking I shouldn't have picked Langley as my username, given Harry's disdain for the CIA. I was just trying to think of an American reference. I hope you Brits don't think we're all arrogant. My husband (also American) loves it when Harry sticks it to the CIA - especially in the eps where Bush/Cheney were our President/VP - Ha Ha! I love it, too! Just a little disconcerting - I'd like to think Harry wouldn't think of me as arrogant just because I'm American!

Hi there, and welcome to the forum.
Heh, you're probably safe from Harry's disdain as long as you're not working for the CIA or a politician.

Welcome to the forum. We don't mind a bit of Ruth and Harry round these parts.
