The good thing about working late on Monday evenings is that I can come home and collapse in front of the telly without any guilt about how I should be studying. Also it turns out wine makes me better at University Challenge. This is a useful fact to know.

Spooks!
  • MALCOLM. MALCOLM MALCOLM MALCOLM. I HAD NO IDEA. THERE WAS REAL LIFE FLAILING. And then I was SO SCARED that bad things would happen to him, but then he was JUST TOO CLEVER I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.

  • Ahem. There were other things in this episode, right? "Oi, Evershed!" ♥ ♥ ♥ And more lovely teamness, that is just what I want!

  • Lucas got half a point back from me for working out that it wasn't really Harry on the phone, but then promptly LOST ALL THE POINTS for what happened to Ortiz. His manpain now has a bodycount ARGH. Please tell me he is leaving soon, because I cannot stand much more of this. (No, really, I wants spoilers. Not about anyone else, just him.)

  • Oh Ruth! Just calmly and methodically gathering evidence to TAKE LUCAS DOWN. ♥

  • "I've just had a really bad idea." WELL DONE DMITRI YOU HAVE MADE ME LOVE YOU. *adds him to the official list of Spooksians I love*


SJA!
  • So many lols at Luke pretending to have a new boyfriend best friend just to see Clyde's face ♥

  • Oh, Haresh, being all grown up and teaching the kids about grief. And Gita cleaning things ♥

  • I am still not keen on new UNIT, but Clyde is right, that base is WIN.

  • LIZ IS ON THE MOON! :D

  • "I'm running out of reactions!" AHAHAHA, I missed that the first time round. CLYDE. Also LOL at Rani calling him short.

  • Did the spaceship remind anyone else of "Genesis of the Daleks"? I suppose the set up is pretty standard, but that is the first thing I thought of.

  • Hee, comedy vulture aliens!

  • JOOOOOOOOO! Breaking the vase and being all inappropriate and lovely! And her amazing life!

  • SARAH KNEW WHO SHE WAS WITHOUT HAVING TO BE INTRODUCED :DDDDDDDDD

  • I am actually OK with Jo being all sadface on finding the Doctor visited Sarah but not her: it's not an unreasonable reaction, and she immediately assumed it was because Sarah is just made of awesome.

  • "...Ealing." THEIR FACES.

  • ANY EXCUSE FOR A HUG. PELADON!

  • JO CHAINED HERSELF TO ROBERT MUGABE, OF COURSE SHE DID.

  • Rani's delivery of "Clyde, I'm staring at your bum!" was beautiful.

  • "Shuffle for your lives!"

  • "Like the old days?" HAND HOLDING.

  • HALLO ELEVENTY I HEART YOU.

I have not been watching all of Spooks but I FINALLY got to cheer at Dmitri because blowing stuff up is the sort of thing that I find yayful, fictionally. And it is V SAD that I want Richard Armitage to NOT STILL BE IN A THING, for he is beautiful and has a beautiful voice but OMG SO RUB. At least it meant I got to be extra-yay at Ruth.

LIZ IS ON THE MOON! :D

That might actually have been my favourite moment. IT IS EPIC. SHE IS ALIVE. Winning.

Clyde, I'm staring at your bum!

I couldn't decipher the Mugabe line. Brilliant.

Paladon shout out was magnificent (AGGEDOR!)

Only mildly related, but Haresh is looking a lot older to me this year. Is it just that he let his hair grow out, or has he aged alot?

That animated CBBC logo is driving me bonkers ... it was right over Sarah Jane's face while she was talking in one scene--you guys are experiencing the same thing locally I suppose?

I thought Genesis of the Daleks too!

And OMG, yes, love Sarah's slowly-dawning comprehension of who it is as Jo babbles on...

I confess to a small squee on hearing the Liz shout out - and Clyde's reaction to hearing she's on the Moon was also awesome.

But the moment when Jo realises the Doctor's been visiting Sarah but not her really annoyed me. FFS! Just DON'T GO THERE Rusty! STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THERE IN FACT!!

(Sorry, he just hacks me off so immensely - when the hell is he going to learn to write adult female characters?!)

As for Spooks, I bounced out of my chair when Malcolm opened the door!! I had no clue he was in it and I flailed so hard... And when Lucas went back and the house was empty I was all "HA! GOTCHA!" And I wanted to kick Lucas' arse from here to Timbuktu for what happened with Ortiz. Dimitri blowing up the Grid was awesome! :D :D

And Iain Glen's character continues to be an utter bastard - I do love him playing bastards!

But he didn't *visit* Sarah Jane, he ran into her unexpectedly in both School Reunion and TSE/JE. He only deliberately visited in 'Wedding of Sarah Jane' and only because the whole of Time was in jeopardy! The way RTD's written it, it makes it sound as if he regularly pops around for tea on a Sunday.

Malcolm is indeed so awesome - he should come back (I don't mind Tariq but I really miss Malcolm - and Colin!)

Well that's because the conversation was interrupted...

The trailer for next time didn't look too good for Ruth!
