Series 9 Episode 2 discussion

[khandy]

Just back from my holidays

Priorty on return watch spooks.

I am in the camp that liked this one. The bad guy is a British citizen which is good I'm sure that there are some really shady people in powerful positions. Also i get tired of people from other countries moaning how they are always the bad guys

I loved how in command Lucas was in this episode and how well RA uses his posture. When he is being the leader he is tall, spine straight shoulders back but in his more vulnerable moments he is slightly more slumped around the shoulders. I liked the meeting with Maya it was well done loved the anguishe in RAs tone when he was speaking,however I understand why people are getting weary of Lucas' love worries and like any show the continuity goes out. Elizaveta was the love of his love in series 7 and he never even thinks of her. Liked the flirting with Beth

Beth I'm not sure of, there is a certain ambiguity about her. I think people are being awfully harsh on her acting skills. Good as the others are this isn't Shakespeare people and I don't sense that she is any worse than the others. Also if she had been just like Ros that would not have been liked either

Harry and Ruth really bore me, sorry can't help it. I really do think the writers are pandering to the fans and doing it badly. Harry sounded like a petulant whiney child in that phone call. Having said that well done Ruth for saying it was work she was calling about.

I liked the Harry and Lucas scene at the end but neither of them can talk about lying.

Dimetri didn't have a lot to do I expect more from him later .

I do like Tariq he is so droll
