    The door you see on Spooks is the entrance to Freemasons Hall on Great Queen Street - and we have more secrets than MI5

    Otherwise tracking MI5 staff would be a tad too easy. Just tail them home from the office.

    Yeah, it seemed a filler episode.

    More mad muslims with suicidal tendencies, and only two MI5 field operatives in the whole of London to thwart their plan. Getting a bit cliched even for Spooks.

    I expect the ruskies are playing MI5 to get the brits and yanks at each others throats, or is that too predictable.

    On a brighter note, that new MI5 lass is pretty tasty. Even if she conforms to the spec of MI5 main operatives either being posh Londoners or foreigners.

    So to sum it up:

    Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

    She must have some sort of cloaking device, a raincoat possibly. She'll bloody well need it over here!

    Those Russkies (the woman and her son) are up to no good, mark my words - I don't reckon it is the CIA guy after all.

    P.S. I'm gutted that this is the final series

    I'm still wondering if Ruth and Harry will get it together eventually, and wander off arm in arm into the sunset.

    started a topic Has Spooks jumped the Shark?

    Has Spooks jumped the Shark?

    I must say tonight's episode was pretty good, and the latest series has been holding up well on the whole.

    But the plot is taking a serious lurch toward the surreal, sort of turning in on itself, and the one episode left of this series will obviously centre on Lucas North.

    (Glad to hear they start filming Series 10 next Feb )
