I guess for me, Connie was easier to accept because I always felt she had this shifty look about her, I don't know why, but I always felt this gut-instinct that she's not to be trusted. If anything, her turncoat moment was validation for my gut!

But still, at least Connie died with some measure of respect saving London from a nuclear attack, so either way, she did die with dignity and it did seemed that even in her coldness and violence, she seem to care about the team, in her own strange way.

For that I give the writers of Series 7 a kudos for at least allowing her to exit in a fashion that while shocking, still remained true to her character that she was at least willing to take the hit for a country she may no longer believe in.

Ha! I still have issues with this one!

If Blake was a Nightingale member all along, then why the heck did he go tattle to Harry about Nightingale? Surely he would know that Harry would go digging around and find the truth! That's just galactically stupid!!! That's like poking at the tiger and thinking it's not gonna eat you....

I mean, what was the whole point of telling Harry about Nightingale, getting himself kicked out of office, install in a new dude, and promptly blow him up? What does this plan accomplish exactly other than to just blow someone up? I'm not even sure how this makes sense or how it even resembles some great big mastermind plan?

It just sounds stupid!!

Oh and of course, Ruth just magically finds it all out...

Honestly, they would have gotten a better season with the same ending result and still use the same storylines if they just had made Lucas insane or have a mental disorder or something! At least that would have made SENSE!!!!

Hell, I'd rather have watch Lucas go through some multiple-personality storyline than this rubbish of Lucas/John and the absolutely-no-sense-making-entrance-into-MI5.....it's just dumb!

At least Lucas with a psychotic breakdown or mental disorder would have made perfect sense considering his background and what had been done to him during those 8 years in Russia!

They still could have made Lucas go all coo-coo and crazy and end up committing suicide and all that, and that storyline would have made so much more sense and have so much more impact especially on the whole theme of what it costs to be a spy.

To this day, I will never understand why they thought Lucas/John was a good idea, how this idea even got past the pitching stage is just unbelievable....
