Oh no, please not Zoe!

Hmmm, yes, let's not look to closely at the plot holes. It does seem that MI5 seem to have the same rigorous hiring guidelines at CTU in 24.

Interviewer: "Are you Lucas North?"

Random man on street: "Oh yes, Lucas, that's me. Can't you see I've got dark hair?"

Interviewer: "Oh yes, well that all seems in order then. Here's your top secret security clearance."

They also seem to employ the same number of core personnel as CTU. God help British security if a flu bug's going round that office...

Actually on Lucas, I'll be glad to see him go. He seemed quite useless on the whole. Lost count of the number of times he managed to (a) lose people he was chasing or (b) get beaten up by randoms. Bring back the homicidally violent Roz ("hell yeah, I'll shoot through colleagues to take down the bad guy and my mascara won't even smudge").

I loved Roz - am not convinced she's really dead.

HabbiBOOOO · 02/11/2010 18:36

oh, no, not zoe. She was incredibly unconvincing, esp compared to Roz and Beth.

StripeyMoon · 02/11/2010 18:42

if Lucas is going I want Adam back -I do NOT believe he got blown up, he must be in south america awaiting his return.

Eliza70 · 02/11/2010 19:05

I agree. Adam is NOT dead! He's in deep cover.

traceybath · 02/11/2010 19:06

Perhaps Adam and Roz are both alive and living together Grin

UnquietDad · 02/11/2010 19:08

Pfft. Adam was toast! Even he can't walk away from an exploding car!

StripeyMoon · 02/11/2010 19:09

Did you see him die UD? No! He is alive goddammit!!!

potplant · 02/11/2010 19:20

Cestlavie - You're going to incur the wrath of the RA fanclub with those kind of comments :)

I've never got over Adam. I'm convinced he's still alive. It's all an elaborate ruse to infiltrate the Chinese/Russian/middle east* (delete as appropriate) mafia. He'll come back soon.

Eliza70 · 02/11/2010 19:20

Indeed, there was a split second where he could have jumped out and done a MI5-esq roll away.

Not Roz back - strange forehead...

cazzybabs · 02/11/2010 19:22

adam back .. lucas off to rehab (be a hobbet] and back as a goodie after all... bbc capture entire female population of uk

5Foot5 · 02/11/2010 19:29

There seem to be too many holes in this plot.

The main one being this Maya woman. presumably he knew her when he was John. So how is it that if she is so important to him that he will risk throwing away his whole career, he hasn't bothered to look for her until now?

he is a spy for goodness sake. He could have found her if he had wanted to - it didn't take him long to do that this series. Are we really supposed to believe that he had put her to the back of his mind until Vaughan showed up and then sudden;t he couldn't resist her any more!!

It doesn't seem credible.

I hesitate to mention sharks and jumping but one has to wonder....

nancydrewrocked · 02/11/2010 19:31

I thought Roz was fake dead - didn't she turn up at the cemetary after she was burried or something or did she die again.

The council worker sub plot was a poor attempt at illustrating how tough and gritty MI5 are compared to...well...er...inadequate council workers.

DeadlyNightShadeofViolet · 02/11/2010 19:36

I wont believe Lucas is a baddie - I just wont.

The whole plot has too many holes, and the trailer for next week looks great - but how can he turn against his colleges so quickly? It just seems a bit overdone.

And there is no-ne to replace him - no strong male character.

lillypumpkinpie · 02/11/2010 19:39

I told my DP when Lucas first appeared that he was dodgy! (and did anyone else notice the huge bald spot when he fell on his knees?)

Never mind bring back Adam,I wish they could bring back Tom!He was truly gorgeous.

I someone please tell me where Dimitri(sp)sprang from.What did I miss?

DeadlyNightShadeofViolet · 02/11/2010 19:45

I think they should bring back Connie - I know she turned evil and killed Ben but I really liked her!

DH said last night that the snooper man from the council would turn into the next recruit.

Tootiredforgodtyping · 02/11/2010 19:58

Din't Connie get blown up at the end of last series?

charlieandlola · 02/11/2010 20:05

His nose is too big. Imagine that looming down on you for a kiss. You would need parking sensors !!

Hope R A leaves spooks. Silly illogical plot so far.
Bring back Adam.

ASmallBunchofFlowers · 02/11/2010 20:43

Your "nose too big", charlieandlola, is another person's "fine chiselled profile". Wink

DeadlyNightShadeofViolet · 02/11/2010 20:51

Tootiredforgodtyping - Did she? I dont remember as I had a newborn at the time. I just remember the gory throat slitting.

I had a bit of a funny turn last night when Ruth was burning her wrists Envy

UnquietDad · 02/11/2010 21:01

Connie is as brown bread as Adam! Blown sky-high!

MrsLucasNorth · 02/11/2010 21:08

That's 'finely chiselled profile and possible indicator of other things' Smallbunch Wink

ASmallBunchofFlowers · 02/11/2010 21:14

Oh MrsLN, really! It's all about the acting, remember?

StripeyMoon · 02/11/2010 21:21

No possibility about it Mrs LN.

UD, I think you and I may need to have words, stop your blaspheming immediately.
