Episode 2 Discussion

[dsp01]

I liked this episode more too. Of course, I am newer to the show and a big RA fan so the fact that he is finally coming into his own as a former protege' of Harry's makes me excited. I love the guns blazing, Lucas barreling through the door character that they are building with Lucas.

This being said, I am loving the whole Harry/Ruth relationship and looking forward to how they will build on it from all that occured in episode 1. I like Tariq and think that he will be a nice, techie touch to the grid and kinda hope that Ros keeps him on his toes for a couple episodes. I kinda like this new side of Ros but want my kick butt Ros back. Loving the way Jo is coming out of her shell shocked condition and hope that soon she can find a bit of happiness too.

As far as Sarah Caulfield I like her with Lucas because it is a realy power struggle between them and I am interested from some comments RA has made about their relationship how they will get from trying to dominate each other to falling madly and deeply can't get enough of each other love story. I vaguely remember the Tom/Christine relationship and know it was a bit of a bore but for some reason, I am feeling that this Lucas/Sarah relationship is going to be more adult and tenacious but I don't think it will be a long withstanding type for many reason. It is Spooks and the likelihood of both of them surviving it won't happen, but as I posted on another board today on this subject and I am quoting an old email someone sent me a long time ago about people entering your lives for a Season or for a Reason. "They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered relationship." Sarah is going to be Lucas' reason and then he will move on. That is the path I think the writers are going down.

I am looking forward to more of Series 8 and hope and pray that Series 9 is fast on the horizon.
