RE: Series 9 Episode 6 discussion
Gosh, I am going to have to take some calming down pills. I just loved it and didn't care about lack of H/R. There is no question now that Lucas has gone bad, he was prepared to kill Malcolm and in effect killed the girl.

I think Lucas is naive if he thought Harry would just say to Malcolm 'Oh Malc, should any of these 3 peeps turn up for the Albany file, just hand it over'. Nah, he would have something else in place. Or, Malcolm just suspected, gave him the fake file and cleared out.

Which lead my husband (aka Normal Spooks Viewer) to exclaim 'I wish we had got Malcolm to help us to pack and move. He did it all, with an elderly Mum in a matter of hours. Took me longer to strip out my speaker cables!'. He has a point. Perhaps it's a special MI-5 service for comprimised ex-officers.

I can't help but think that the John thing from Malcolm was deliberate.

Loved the American hacker. Thought she had some great lines. Black humour in the face of adversity. Are all US trailer park types from the Deep South or is that just a stereotype for TV?

The trailer looks so exciting. Do we really have to wait a whole week? Just as well I've got a Halloween Party to plan meanwhile.

Okay, I'm going to have to drug myself to sleep until next Monday now...please could someone arrange for me to be woken up in time for next week's episode...

...actually scratch that, could someone arrange for me to be woken up in 2 weeks times so I can watch next week's ep on iplayer right before episode 8...

RE: Series 9 Episode 6 discussion
The biggest question I have:

Did Malcolm genuinely slip up with the "John" name-calling? Or does he actually know the truth? Perhaps indicating that Harry would too...

Still annoyed we havent found out anymore about what happened 15 yrs ago. Do we really have to wait til next week as I am losing patience.

Malcolm however was great & is going to be in next weeks episode. How did Malcolm know not to give Lucas the real file. Does Harry already know Lucas will betray him or is it that Malcolm doesnt trust him. Is Harry in on the plan to set Lucas up because he seemed annoyed that Ruth was spying on him (perhaps he's worried Ruth will ruin his plans).

Loved Tariqs outburst but wish it had been genuine and not a ploy to alert the team to the issue as it would have meant we were getting to see more of his character coming through on the show.

Had a moment of confusion during the shoot out scene as i thought the background music sounded just like strike back - I really need to stop watching everything Richards ever been in (ok maybe not)

Anyway can't wait for next week.

Absolutely stunning episode - sometimes the simpler things are the best! Great performances from Dmitri and Tariq.

And the best part - the trailer for next week!

I really don't see how there can be any way out for Lucas now.

A large cheer went up from all watching in our house when Malcolm appeared! - and calling Lucas John - slip-up, deliberate or meaning absolutely nothing?
