Plot-holes

[xRuthx]

To be absolutely honest with you, if it wasn't for Nicola still being in the cast I probably wouldn't bother to watch series ten.

See, as a writer myself, I don't think it matters how good an actor is. Bad writing is bad writing and I can't believe how many Spooks viewers just seem to accept the Lucas storyline because it was acted well. I wonder how many fans would insist the Lucas storyline made perfect sense if it had been Ruth with the double identity and the bombing of an embassy. (I obv. am glad this didn't happen. I love Ruth. She's my favourite Spooks character but still... I wonder what difference in reaction there would have been...)

Incidentally, I havent been so annoyed by a plot developement since the finale of Robin Hood series two also starring poor Richard Armitage (though at least that time it wasn't him who was out of character. It was kind of funny when series three of RH did poorly because at the time of the series two furore the writers claimed it was a good move dramatically to do what they did with the characters and would allow the show to grow )

I'm hoping series ten picks up and doesn't do a Dr Who: The End of Time (I'm still trying to pretend that never happened lol).
