I don't know it did have the major end of series cliff hanger as usual

It had the cliffhanger but IMO it failed to have the impact of a classic Spooks season finale episode.

I thought this episode was like most of this series, absolutely woeful.

(Apart from episodes 801 & 802) 801 in particular was an excellent episode!

I think the thing that annoyed me most about this episode was the shaky camera work and the constant zooming in and out during conversations, it drove me nuts!

Other things that annoyed me about this episode where the ridiculously unbelievable situations e.g.


Spoiler (Click to Hide)
The Lucas hospital scene, how does Ros go from talking to him on the phone while driving to stopping Lucas from killing someone in the hospital within the space of 20 seconds?

I'd expect this type of nonsense and lack of continuity from a low budget B movie action flick but not from arguably the best BBC drama series of the past decade!

I could rant on about at least another 3 or 4 scenes in episode 808 that where similar but I won't bother.


ygtbr 100%.

Still peeling off the trash my flatmates threw at my monitor as they watched the episode.

Too bad because great topic and storyline were lost. Directors, writers and editing crew managed to sink the series to the pit of immaturation in one episode. Ep8 is like a symphonie without a conducteur.

With respect, BBC, wondering what happened to good, old quality control?

Felt compelled to put my 2 cents in, because this is funny (T'is after all new year's in 15 hrs) . I don't reside in America, & not as far as the crows fly from it either. i don't think a respectable adult uses this term often in this part of the universe. Only a repulsive, insecure, middle aged dude named Russell (AKA Jack R[ussell]) would (Can't believe it rhymed). Anyway, not high in the 2nd quadrant of the vulgar-scale. Ineffective rubbish, really. Cheers.
