Series 9 Episode 8 discussion

[Belle]

Thank you to BravoNine and Binkie for defending my point of view!

I am a 33 year old woman and I've been a fan of Spooks for the whole 9 years it exists! So this has nothing to do with having some sort of 'highschoolgirl crush' on a character in particular!
I must admit that I liked Lucas' character,( is that wrong?!) but I also like(d) Harry, Ruth, Ros, Jo, Malcolm, Tom, Adam, Ben, Jo, Zaff, .....
My interpretation of S9 has nothing to do with Lucas as such, It's not my fault the writers have messed it up in this case, is it? I could also have pointed out that another reason I find this season a bit sloppy, was the lack of serious backbones for Beth and Dmitri, or the way they were underused because in previous seasons the 'minor' characters were more deepened out than it has been the case this year.
I hope this forum will remain the pleasant space on the internet were I /we can share our thoughts and feelings about our (still) beloved series in a decent and grown up way, without the fear of being laughed at or something like that!
