Series 10 - Episode 6 Discussion

[nimax1]

So PF had it right all along: unquestionably a Greek tragedy. I keep thinking between sniffles that I will never watch a single episode again knowing how it ends and then in calmer moments remember that I have seen Oedipus, Medea, King Lear, Hamlet over and over again --- always hoping that it will end differently and knowing that it won't. Tragedy -- ANd there is Harry afterward going on because it is unchangeable and he can do nothing else. As much as I wish it had been different there really was no other way for this to end.

The most heartbreaking moments - Harry in the car listening to the Home Secretary's message - what a lovely job by Simon Russell Beale - Harry hearing Ruth's voice in the kitchen - Harry's face sitting at his desk and the final negative by which time I was blind with tears.

It will be awhile before I can look at this all again but I know that somewhere down the road I will. But, tonight, there is only a heavy heart.

Calum's last line is quite apropos......And that is what Spooks has always shown to all of us.
