It annoys me that I can't find any sense in that finding nemo comment... Silly man! Yet another reason for him to be hated

I do believe that their numbers are that low though. It's getting riddiculous.
I'm only just getting into season 6, not having seen 1-5 yet
so Colin references are pretty much lost on me... I guess he didn't make it tho 
Anyroad, using Tariq in the field is more than ridiculous as nothing points to the fact that he's a) had field training and b) is of any use out there. What was he gonna do, shout "Stop or I'll hijack your mobile??! "...
Then again, nothing points to any fact about Tariq.. we need more background (tho I'd be surprised if he was a "proper" spook)
I guess they just wanted to give him some more screen time ...
as for the depleted ranks - using your geek in the wilderness is a bit like playing your academy side in the FA Cup.. either you don't care or you want your boss to know that you're down to bare bones.
More staff please in season 9!!!!!

Finding Nemo = lost fish = lost submarine.

Aha! Lwhite53, I think you've solved the puzzle. I'm de-lurking just to thank you!
Also, why is it that the CIA chief was the most authentic sounding American so far on Spooks? I hope he didn't survive the blast, though.

I didn't think Price's accent was authentic at all. But onya for delurking!
RE: Episode 8 Discussion - fornov - 30-12-2009 12:03 PM
of course it could also refer to Captain Nemo and his subsmarine the Nautillus :-D
RE: Episode 8 Discussion - YourFutureMuse - 30-12-2009 01:07 PM

Thank you lwhite53!!

Aah, brought you out into the open -- welcome odyssey45.
Actually, I wasn't too enamored of Price's accent either, JHyde. The best American accent in s8, by far, was Walker's.
(Talked to a Brit friend who works in theater about the accent thing -- she thinks it may be a Brit actor's union issue re not hiring American actors.)
RE: Episode 8 Discussion - JHyde - 30-12-2009 05:57 PM
I agree, Walker's was the most impressive.
RE: Episode 8 Discussion - almh - 30-12-2009 06:26 PM
I preferred Walkers too, but there may have been a bit of bias in that he's the only American I liked in this series...
