What I mean is Sugarhorse was revealed slowly about five minutes of every episode until episode 7 was spent on it but it all involved Harry.

So far Albany is being played out via Lucas. Who it seems is the most disliked character ever on spooks, well on the Spooks forums anyway and he is not popular on the RA sites either.

I think dislike is perhaps a little strong, from where I am coming from with Lucas anyway. There are plenty of people on this forum that really like Lucas and only watch Spooks because RA is in it. The same goes for Harry. I lot of people only watch Spooks because he is in it. People like what they like.

With me, it is not Lucas per se, it's the silly storylines they give him. In this case we do not have much meat on the bones yet, for his storyline with Vaughn. The Vaughn thing does sound interesting though and I am looking forward to seeing what happens. The Maya relationship, at the moment, seems unnecessary. She's only had about 2 minutes screen time, Lucas hasn't seen her for 15 years, and they have ended up in bed together.

Some more thoughts about 9.3 - Really liked the actor who played Dr Kirby. I am sure I have seen him in other things.

Loved all the HS scenes. Do we think that he figured out in the end that Harry had not lost the WMD? Towers looked totally exasperated with Harry.

I quite liked Beth in this episode although I wish she had seemed a bit more urgent when clearing the underground platform. I do like scenes on the underground. I wish they had more in Spooks, considering that the tube plays such a major part in Londoners lives.
