Wish List for Season 9

[lwhite53]

I think they feel they have to raise the bar every series, in terms of making it being bigger, better and more cutting edge, hence the agents running around with weapons, humongous explosions, and more and bigger death scenes. And all of this is good, from an action perspective. What has gotten lost, though, is the human perspective of the spooks themselves.

To use the EERIE exercise Tomsdouble referenced as an example, even though that entire ep took place on the grid, everyone was involved and the interactions between and among the characters was some of the best interpersonal exploration we've ever gotten of the spooks. S9 needs to re-kindle that interplay and allow us to see the spooks as human beings rather than as one-dimensional vehicles for the plot.

Oh, and as to Alan Rickman as a guest actor -- YES, YES, YES!
