Mind you, I am dropping now, it is sinfully late, in this neck of the woods.

And talking of sinful, bitey knight to you all..

DumSpiroScaro · 25/10/2011 00:15

Bitey knight Menace!

What did you reckon to Spooks then Maud?

A bit of a debacle, as I understand it, Maud.

ComeIntoTheSinisterGardenMaud · 25/10/2011 00:19

::Weakly::

I had tried to calm my nerves beforehand by reading the wiki synopsis - I thought it would be more bearable that way - but still had a lump in my throat throughout. As I've often said, I had a great fondness for Harry and his pain when Ruth died was dreadful to behold.

::sniffs::

But now I must away to bed too. Good night all.

DumSpiroScaro · 25/10/2011 00:31

Night!

Thought it left a fair bit to be desired on the whole, but couldn't fault Peter Firth or Nicola Walker.

::Looks back at you::

Yes, I think so. There was a sense in places of loose ends being tied up any old how, but the scenes between Harry and Ruth were like something from a Jacobean tragedy.

::Wanders off, sighing::

TheSmallBloodiedFingerPrint · 25/10/2011 07:50

Morning, hope your head doesn't hurt too much this morning Maud.

TransylvanianVampiress · 25/10/2011 10:07

YES HOW'S THE HEAD MAUD?!! Grin

I really felt this last series of spooks was a disappointment but then I suppose it always was going to be with ouR mAn goneSadSmile. I wish there could havebeen a happy ending but the. It wouldn't have been very spooks-like would it? They like their drama, suspense, rubbish plot lines, graphic deaths!! Really really do think that they need better CPR training. Tariq, Elena and Ruth could surely have had some attempt made on themHmm. But I think too deeply for spooks I feel!Smile

Cold and wet and very windy up here in deepest darkest transylvania today - send us some island warmth and sunshine massive! Please!!! BrewBiscuit

TheSmallBloodiedFingerPrint · 25/10/2011 10:20

Lol at Vampy shouting Grin.

DumSpiroScaro · 25/10/2011 10:30

I was quite surprised that a collapsed lung could finish Ruth off tbh (having had one and still being here myself Grin), but having Googled there are many different types of collapsed lung and it's definitely possible.

I suspect it may not have happened that quickly though, but I'm no expert and I guess it made for a good ending.

Was all a bit 'meh' though on the whole, I thought.

Can someone please make me do some work? Please?!!

ComeIntoTheSinisterGardenMaud · 25/10/2011 11:10

Go and do some work, Small!

My head is fine. I would have thought that, as a former member of the SBS, Dimitri would be well-trained in treating chest wounds. He should have been doing that while Swishy-Hair sashayed off to get the first aid kit. Hey ho.

TheSmallBloodiedFingerPrint · 25/10/2011 11:10

In honour of the end of Spooks here is a to one of the best and it's a Killers track so can't be bad.

TheSmallBloodiedFingerPrint · 25/10/2011 11:11

Thanks Maud! I got sidetracked into the basment watching Teenage Dream - tis a lovely vid that. Then I watched the Knaye West Amazing one again and on and on...

TransylvanianVampiress · 25/10/2011 11:13

Work small!! That's an order!! Grin

TheSmallBloodiedFingerPrint · 25/10/2011 11:16

and on a more ..

TheSmallBloodiedFingerPrint · 25/10/2011 11:17

I'm liking these strong men ordering me about

DumSpiroScaro · 25/10/2011 12:47

Oh, Small - the way he stride about all purposeful in that Killers vid...

I think you may have rendered me even more than usually useless for the rest of the day!

What Spiro said! I was trying to analyse what it is about his walk, but it escapes me every time. I get too caught up in the

Maud, I am glad you survived the Spooks finale relatively unscathed.

And I was just about to say the same as Small about masterful men ( oh swoon at shouty Gizzy, talk about shiver me timbers. There go the Neutronium SFXs) However, Small cleverly got there before me.

I should be doing some work too, so can they shout at me as well? Pretty please.

TheSmallBloodiedFingerPrint · 25/10/2011 14:09

He is soo masterful isn't he?

Look what I found specially for . Don't think we've seen it before?
