Did I mention I watched through 8x03 of Spooks this morning?
Before I went to the hive of scum and villainy that is Wal-Mart, that is. I watched 8x1-8x3. I am being a good girl and waiting on netflix discs for the rest of 8.
THIS IS MY FACE AFTER 8x3:
:(
Oh my poor Ros and my poor Jo and my poor Ruth and and, MY POOR GIRLS (women, yes). :(
I know this is an entirely different episode, but tangentially, I think that Connie blew herself up on purpose--not that she let the clock run down, but that she cut the wrong wire knowing she'd end up dead. I think it was some weird penance thing--either that, or she didn't think anyone would let her go free. She's known Harry a long time, he doesn't always keep bargains well.
But, yes.
:(
I am pleased that Ruth is back, but less pleased in having to lose Jo. I also miss Malcolm, but at least he's still retired (also, HOW BADASS IS MALCOLM, HOLY GOD). (also, I was watching season 1, and there was a bit with Colin, and I was all OMG I MISS YOU, COLIN, and then hated the show a little more for killing him)
Surprisingly, I find that I miss Adam. I sort of wish that he'd been alive to know that Ruth was all right. Zaf, too. :/ (OH, ZAF. :( --incidentally, one wonders if Zaf's intelligence about Ruth being alive was mined by his captors and passed onto, say, the CIA... )
Lucas, um. he is sort of really boring. (and I used to think that about Adam? Like, Adam was interesting when Fiona was around, and then... not so much)
But the CIA. I hate pretty much all of them (not in the, I hate this person way, but in the "this organization sort of disgusts me and the people in it seem like complete assholes who don't give a shit about loss of life" way). I don't miss Bob Hogan (he was so icky, anyway). I do miss Christine Dale (at least she always gave the impression of caring a little bit about loss of life. Caulfield just thinks it's HILARIOUS that she GOT A MAN MURDERED. LUCAS, YOU ARE REALLY STUPID AND HAVE SHITTY TASTE)
Seriously, Caulfield's little giggles of smug superiority, "Oh, gosh, that silly journalist is dead? Tee hee hee. At least now people know the truth." made me want to punch her in the face. I haven't disliked a female character this much since Helena Cain (which is impressive, I know); mood not helped by her male superior being just as "who the fuck cares about people" about it.
Erm. But Jo, you guys. JO. I knew she wasn't going to last, but that didn't make it any easier. Jo was sort of my... One true character? I don't think it's really that, but I identified with her a lot, and feel a little bereft.
I also felt a little that Jo was just waiting for the bullet with her name on it. I don't think she expected to live forever. :/ (I sort of feel that, despite their differences, Adam and Jo were... very similar in this instance? Adam was always waiting for his bullet, too)
And Ros. OH, ROS. I WANT TO HUG YOU A LOT RIGHT NOW. Even if that wouldn't really help, and you're not much into hugs. Jo knew that bullet would kill her Ros, and you can't ever EVER blame yourself. I know you will, but it isn't your fault. it was the job. And the stupid idiot with the bomb's fault.
Ruth. I am so sorry that you've lost someone again. Zaf, Adam, your husbandy-thing, the stepson, and now Jo. :(
Hrm. I don't think I have anymore words now.
