I feel that I had things I was going to say, and now it's been five days and I don't remember them (oh well, I did blather on quite a bit previous)
However, the big thing I'm discovering is that I'm completely eating my words about angst in the Male Spook Lead. Because re-watching 1/2 has led to adoration of Tom (or not adoration, but not annoying as I was expecting) whilst the re-listens at work continue to make me want to slap the crap out of Adam for not dealing with his crap and letting it get in the way (I don't care how believable a deconstruction of near-death/ptsd/grief that was, it was annnoying).
I HAD ENTIRELY forgotten that the train episode = Zaf being gone. (DAMN). And I agree that his send-off was ridiculous in that it got buried in the mix of everything else (and while I can claim that Jo got to mourn, that's really... not what happened. Just because it is MY headcanon...)
(Also, the train episode is what made me laugh like a loon when Harry claimed he didn't like to play god. I totally believe you, Harry. Totally)
Also, I'd forgotten season 2 has that one episode where Harry brings Important Documents home with him (even just typing that makes me go "are you f-ing KIDDING ME. HARRY? What?" Which is to say that seems like the LEAST likely thing he'd do) Or season 1. I don't remember which, I sort of watched half of 2, then went back and I'm halfway through 1.
Tessa is making me smile, but also be sad as I know she is gone in 2. However, I find her another completely different female character, so I'm deeply in love with that fact (and as much as I may hate later decisions of the show, I still give them props over the plethora of women).
Although just typing that is making me remember being angry over Erin in the movie. Sigh.
I went hunting Spooks fic out of boredom this morning, and there is actually a vaguely thriving (in that they post the occasional fic) section on fanfiction.net.
"You know Mr. Belling?" "Only from certain recordings." - I can't not watch and listen to 3.01. It's so terrible and yet I love it. (I am free-associating here, I think)
Augh. I'm going to stop while I'm ahead in not quoting entire sections at you.
