Series 9 Episode 7 discussion

[Naivety]

What an amazing episode. My heart was thumping all the way through it.

Lucas has gone past the point of no return now, there is no way he can redeem himself now. He had me convinced after that awesome one to one scene with Harry, but having learned he pressed the trigger for the bomb and then killed the real Lucas himself, for me he is evil. It's a pity Vaughn died, he seemed to have more scruples than John/Lucas.

I'd been a bit worried about the flash back stuff, so I'm glad it was done so well (I should know by now that the writer's rarely disappoint). RA looks so much younger without his designer stubble (dodgy haircut though).

Ruth was scary. I fear for her mental health. If there is anyone on the grid who is losing it, it is her. I hope if the writers are not going to kill her off in the next episode, they soften her (perhaps they will allow her to have an emotional breakdown before the end of the series) or they are going to turn the audience against her. Harry is the character people love the most, so the fans will always be on his side. She's being pretty nasty towards him at the moment.

Lucas has to be going out of the show, so hopefully the script writers will only lose one cast member. Two in one episode would be shocking, even for Spooks, surely?

Top performance tonight was PF. Every scene he was in was superb. Spooks could never survive without him.
