Hmmmm I quite possibly think the "sky to fall in" may actually be an interesting plotline!

What would our lovable Spooks do when the threat is the sky itself? Hmmmmm intriguing indeed!

There is no reason for him to be concerned or anything because of this. he also seemed to enjoy being at work again. He seemed proud of himself for his Maya discovery and his deductions from the interrogation tape. He also appeared to feel slightly sorry for Beth and Dimitri when he told them their section head had gone AWOL with Albany.

I do agree that Alec is very laid-back and doesn't care much because he doesn't have anything to loose. I did catch his smugness when he found out about the lies and Maya, but then again, it did take Beth about less than 5 seconds to find out the real Lucas North, so maybe it's not that impressive!

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a much harder side to him though.

I like to know how he got to the point where "he has nothing to loose" and just drowns in alcohol and women. But then again, asking for back-stories seem to be a very bad idea with these writers. Maybe I could suggest that he used to be an axe-murderer?
