Wish List for Season 9

[TygerBright]

Dear Santa,
this is only the beginning:

obvioulsy more staff..
any background on Tariq – he’s so… bland. And I don’t think he’s fully realised yet what he’s got himself into. He needs a wakeup call..
more background on Lucas – pre-Russia. And even pre-MI5.
more action Lucas. more angry Lucas. It's not good to bottle it all up, you have to let it out
more action Harry
ANY ACTION RUTH!!!
more Ruth in general – with or without Harry .. I’ve only seen seasons 7+8 yet so I obviously can only guess at how awesome she is (I can’t believe I used that word..)
more action in general, supported by a decent plot, not just some Steven Seagal kick-derrière sort (though I’m sure Lucas would be great in that role )
more topless Lucas but only if the story warrants is – much as I like the sight, the gratuitous nudity somehow devaluates the show as clearly everyone can see it serves no other purpose than being eye candy (I’m not complaining but..that boiler suit scene?!?!?)
bring back Elisaveta. I think Lucas is not finished with her yet. Even if she comes back as evil double (triple?) agent and he has to eventually kill her
more humour, even if it’s only the gallows variety. I’ve been missing one-liners and witty repartees of late.
22 episodes (yeah, I know…but one can dream, no?) At least 10.
more gadgets. Even if I don’t understand half of the techno-babble

I'm sure I can think of more but I didn't want to appear greedy
