Spoooooks! It is BACK. (I was going to betray it by watching Downton Abbey live, since I can't watch one channel and record another at the same time, and the iPlayer >>>>> the ITV Player, but my digibox has stopped working again so streaming Spooks it is.)

- "First break in protocol and you're out." ...well, that'll take about five minutes then. (Seventeen minutes in: "You don't have the security clearance for this, so you didn't hear it from me." OH HARRY.)

- Sad that they wrote Beth out offscreen; I liked her and it would've been nice to have three women for a change. Oh well, it wouldn't be Spooks if I weren't vaguely annoyed by one of their choices.

- Dmitri has hair! I like it. I am less convinced by the shininess of Tariq's hair though. DEEP INTELLECTUAL OBSERVATIONS, I HAS THEM.

- Oh dear, Callum appears to be one of those characters we are supposed to find charming but are actually annoying.

- Oh Harry, you are so great. SUPREMELY UNBOTHERED BY HAVING GUNS AIMED AT HIM. (I would also like to place a sizeable bet on Fringe Boy Sacha turning out to be Harry's son, in a SHOCKING TWIST. (ETA, half an hour later: AHAHAHA.))

- Over halfway through the episode and I have decided that I officially Like Erin. Excellent.

- Ahahaha, they're going for the "be my fake date :D? :D?" gambit.

- Callum, if you want me to like you, stick to the sarcasm, ok?

- RUTH I LOVE YOU. (This is à propos of nothing in particular, I just realised I hadn't said it yet. Though the face she pulled after pretending to knock the tray over was great.)

- D'awww, Dmitri, I have missed you. ♥ "Is sort of basically cheerful most of the time" is one of my favourite character traits.

I just assumed we were supposed to find him annoying.

But my opinion on Spooks these days mostly consists of everyone < Harry, so anyone who's not Harry I don't care about too much :)

I'm so behind on watching this series. It wasn't even played correctly in the USA, cutting at least 10 minutes out of every episode. Obviously, I must watch the DVDs from the beginning, though I don't think I'll be getting to that until I'm done with my DW rewatch. Still, something to look forward to, and I'm glad Harry and Ruth have survived to this point.

I want to smack Callum right where it hurts!

Loved Harry's "Not while I have breath in my body" line to Ruth re. her wanting to read his substantial report on her. :P

I guessed Sacha was Harry's son the minute I saw them together in Harry's sitting room. Obvious plot point is way obvious!

And now the Home Sec's gonna try and steal her away from Harry! Bad Home Sec!

I'm the same - I almost never guess whodunnit in murder stories, and yet...

She did look as if it had never occurred to her...

True. Although I think she'd make a great job of running the place...

I'm holding out for them retiring somewhere and running a bookshop and cafe together...

But I strongly suspect it won't happen!

I actually have visions of Thames House being blown up, with everyone inside!

I've spent the last 6 months or so watching S1-7 over and over and over again so I won't be caught up for a little while but HAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRY. Oh my GOD my love for him is epic and timeless. The man is my god. Do they say who the mom was of this love child?

I am not kidding you when I say I am so in love with him I don't know what to do with myself sometimes. My love for him rivals my love for Ros. Which is REEEEEEEEALLY saying something.

And I am TOTALLY fine with spoilers. I am kind of hoping it's Maria Korochevsky or however it's spelled. He seemed to have quite the past with her. But I suspect I'm wrong...

Damn. That would have been SO awesome. But Harry, Harry, Harry. Such taste in women. I am convinced he's a closet sex god. <3
