Two posts in quick succession, oops. I didn't think I had anything to say about this week's Spooks, but it turns out I do.
Also I have started to watch Bones, despite a slight hitch whereby lovefilm sent me Shutter Island instead. I'm not that interested in the actual plots, as a general rule, but I do like... well, everything you would expect me to like about it, really. The team dynamics! The Angela/Brennan friendship! Booth and Brennan snarking at each other! Brennan's unapologetic weirdness! The sappy bits! (I actually said "aw!" out loud at the Christmas episode. And then I cried a bit at the end.) Dr Goodman! He is really great, I like how he is actually just as weird and dorky as the rest of them, just better at hiding it for people who aren't.
I read on the internets that it all goes a bit wrong after season three, is that right? Even if it does, three seasons of goodness is a fair amount.
- Am impressed by how thoroughly they've trashed Lucas's character this season. Richard Armitage is a great actor and rather nice to look at, but when he is on screen my emotions run the gamut from "[expletive deleted]" to "I don't CARE. Is this storyline OVER yet?" He is a terrible person.
- Ruth. RUUUTTTHHH. Oh, she is wonderful. So clear eyed about what being in MI5's doing to her. Also she hit a villain with an iron.
- HI MALCOLM HI HI. He knew something was wrong with Lucas's story! And I loved his line about finally getting to see the highlands. ♥
- Even though the rest of the team didn't have so much to do, what they had was great: Beth's confrontation with Lucas, Tariq spotting that the note wasn't on paper (NERD. I mean that as a compliment, of course), Dimitri all excited about his first mafia boss (like a wee puppy!) and telling Ruth to trust her instincts... that's the way to do it, Spooks! They don't all have to have equal focus every week as long as they have something decent and non-generic to do.
- I never say anything about Harry, I have realised. I liked it when he shouted at Lucas. YES.

And Malcolm made me flail with glee.

I really like this thing where Malcolm turns up for a scene every now and then, all "hello, still awesome", just in case we'd forgotten!
