Counting down...

[thisbluespirit]

... to next week because Spooks will be back!

And I has Spooks icons (which I found posted on spooky_doings by the evidently kind and talented sky_magenta). I snagged a lot, but I only have room for two. I still don't have a Ruth icon. I must get a Ruth icon. It's a real handicap. A Ruth icon would be appropriate in all times and places. :lol:

But, oh, who will live and die this series? *chews fingernails*

Still, there will be fast-paced counter-terrorist action, cynicism, twistiness and hopefully Ros will continue to rival Harry in the snark-stakes. (And possibly, on the completely shallow side, we shall hear more about Lucas's Methodist upbringing in Cumbria... Heh.) And Jo's ever decreasing hair-cut - she must be bald this time round.

BBC, why do you like to make us wait so long each year? They must sit up in the high-up offices gloating over everyone worrying about the cliffhanger: "No, don't breathe a word of the start date... and then put it back a week!"

Not, of course, that I am looking forward to this in the slightest. Of course not. Obviously.

And since I know no details (other than one whopping SPOILER of epic proportions), I shall continue to dream that Howard Brenton will return to write an episode. I somehow suspect not, but dreaming's fun.

I think it's because they want it to finish close to Christmas to make it a big event.

I rewatched the last episode of the last series last weekend and that made me really excited! And I've just now set the video for it :)

(this would be my one Spooks icon)

I suppose, but still, we've been waiting all year to find out about Harry. It's just not on. :-D

I don't mind too much - I'm fairly sure he'll be ok and I forget about cliffhangers after about a day. I think I've just got immune to them over the years.

Well, Harry has got a bit indestructible. But now I have a start date, I can't wait.
