Monday Sept. 19 4.55 p.m.
(Spoilers? Mmmm...maybe)Just finished watching ep. 1 . How was it? But very good, of course. It’sSpooks! I forced myself to avoid thinking it was the end of it. The last seriesever. I forced myself not to be expecting a certain TDH presence tomaterialize before my hopeful eyessooner or later. No athletic , blue-eyed spy in tight jeans and dark shirts to admire this time. Now, new series, episode 1. Let’s start from … THE END! Gosh , they’ll never finish with their shocks and surprises! Apart from the game "Old enemies , newfriends. Old friends, new enemies", Harry’s past . I suspected it, honestly. Before the finalrevelation. Harry and that young man in the same room, the young man aiming a gun at him. More than suspected it, I got it immediately. Good! Theseghosts haunting Harry from his past sound quite intriguing.
Of course, loyal Ruth is ready to fight on Harry’s side at any cost – afterwhat he did for her!!! - but is she ready to struggle against his memories and regrets? It’ll be hard, I bet.The new section chief, Erin Watts, is not the iron woman she wants to look. And ifthey want us to love Lara Pulver’s character simply because of her hidden motherly heart , if they hope that we’ll forgive her for taking the place of her brother- in another- fictional-life, well, THEY - ARE -WRONG. She can’t compensate our loss.
However, thinking of her and not of HIM, I don’t know why, but I just can’t sympathize. This Erin spy came in to substitute Harry ,but after he is back and his trial suspended , she stays as section chief. Whyher? Dimitri seems to appreciate it, anyway.More than all the rest of the section. Calum Reed , the other new arrival, is the unsimpathetic genius type. You can just hate him, just like Tariq says: he’s the chief’s pet always self - confidentand over-proud. He must have some flaws hidden somewhere! Just wait and see. By the way, I want Malcom back. Please?Finally, the beginning. Thanks for the “previously” preface. They wanted us all stop dreaming John Batemanhad something of Batman in himself and could fly away instead of falling downfrom the rooftop of that skyscraper: hereyou are, (very beautiful ) dead hand with familiarlittle black dots on its wrist. The someone Harry would never give forgivenessto till he draws breath died. No doubt. And if we dared hope he wasn’t as bad as we had sadly to learnduring the last series, no doubt about that either. Dimitri checked if hisawful story was true and … it was. They found the remains where he had saidthey were. Let’s stop regretting and … enjoy what is ahead. Who will stay aliveand clean in the end? Spooks 10 lost against Downton Abbey 2. I’ll watch the latter too and then decidewho my winner is.
