Spooks Series 10 - Is there no thread??

[TheSmallPrint]

I am counting down to Sunday where they show Harry looking over the edge of the building at a nasty car crash below and Lucas legging it down the stairwell

Oh and another thing, would Erin have stayed with wounded would be terrorist leaving Dimitri to chase the other 2 on his own and thus leaving him vulnerable enough to get clouted.

I may be taking this too seriously.

LOL at her shoes taking away her acting ability. She's bad but not as bad as Elena.

Erin had to stay with the terrorist or they were going to kill her daughter.

Lol re the shoes - how true!

I think Newchoos meant when they went to the flat and she stayed with the other terrorist while Dimitri followed the handler and the other other out of the window or back door or whatever they escaped through?

Oh, and I agree re Dimitri not actually saying when he had shot the baddie - surely quite a key point to get across since that was what he was trying to do. but I wondered if the delay was to demonstrate that Harry would give the kill order even without knowing bouncy hair and silly shoe lady's daughter was safe?

I'm a bit puzzled as to why there is a threatened terrorist attack in central London and they only send in 2 MI5 agents. Don't they have police in London anymore?
I was hoping the baddie that Dimitri shot was a secret double agent as he's fit a talented actor.

I thought it was Lucas' jacket but as I'd already asked my quota of 'how come', 'who's that' questions I thought best not to mention it to DH.

Ah but did you not noticed the 2 extra MI5 agents that appeared out of the back of their car and didn't say a word, just hung around (would probably have to pay them more money if they did too much!!)! They were the two that caught the terrorist as he fell after being shot and then another miraculously appeared from no-one snipped the right wire and all was right with the world again (until next Sunday night!!).

If only dealing with terrorists was that easy!!!

Oooh yes I liked that bit RP, but will they get any of the glory? No it will all go to Dimitry 'what bad guy? Oh yes, I shot him...' and Erin 'ah yes no worries about my daughter being kidnapped and nearly killed, I don't mind coming back next Sunday to hang out of a car and shoot at baddies'

What happened to Erins mum?

Yes I did mean that biscuitsand tea and I was napping or did they mention how they got hold of Erin's daughter? How come someone didn't raise the alarm before she saw the video??

Agree Elena only capable of giving Harry meaningful looks although can understand the need to do this

(always been a fan of an unlikely hero>

LOL at Biscuitsandtea

yes good point about Erin's mum - where was she?

Maybe this is a plot for a future episode that she was in cahoots with them the whole time.....

Ah, I only wish DS would be so reasonable about it all if I gave him marmite instead of peanut butter on his toast and then attempted to leave the house without rectifying it for him!

Well, going back to the extra MI5 agents, I've yet to hear her Mum say anything - just give knowing looks, so she's either an extra who can't have any more part to play without extra money, or she's actually just a robot who can be switched on and off when needed!

There were more holes in last night's plot than your average colander and too little naked Dimitri but I still love it!!

Thought about Erins Mum. Maybe she took the girl to school and they somehow picked her up fromt here. Dimitri was carrying what looked like a schoolbag and a packed lunchbox when he took her back.
Maybe they had enough tech to phone the school with a voice that sounded like Erins and said her bil Bob was picking her up. Baddy then picks her up.

But but but why then didn't Erin's Mum panic when girl wasn't at school when she went to pick her up and phone Erin immediately and tell her????. Best not to think too far beyond the actual storyline I am thinking!

I think you're right RP - there are enough holes in the storyline without finding the ones around the outside too :)

Maybe they left a message on Erins Mums witht he same voice saying that she [Erin] was going to pick her up

I think thats the problem. It used to be difficult to pick holes in spooks

Aah I see Tip - are you actually really a script writer for Spooks?!

Maybe they have the Mum tied up somewhere, and no-one has yet thought to check?

Once they had rescued swishy's dd, why couldn't they have told body bomb bloke that the baddie was dead, therefore his dd was safe, and so he had no need to self detonate, so they therefore didn't need to shoot him?

It seems a bit unnecessary.

Don't even get me started on how obvious the woman was shooting at Elena.

Methinks Ruth will get v jealous next week.

What a waste tying the mum up when I they could tie lovely DIMitri up.

Also, Swishy's DD was old enough to have been freaked out by being kidnapped - why was she sitting quite happily, doing some colouring?

As for the 'he didn't need to self-detonate' thing, wasn't it that the bomb was going to explode in a few moments anyway, as it was on a timer, but that he could also self-detonate anyway? But you are right that they still didn't need to shoot him, they could've just explained to him and then cut the bomb off him before it went off. Very good point Beryl, I hadn't thought of that!

As Elena had a facelift or something? She looks a bit frozen.

But they shot the bomber chap before Dimitry said he'd shot the handler baddie and rescued swishy's dd?

Because he just stared at his body as if he'd never shot anyone before probably hasn't as Lucas used to do all the best action instead of saying I've shot him!!

Elena was certainly pale/white enough so she looked frozen!!

Ah yes quite RP

It's more a kind of general deadness underneath her eyes and around her cheekbones. That part of her face doesn't seem to move at all. I think she's had some work.

Abra it's because she's Russian doncha know

I don't much care for the ins and outs of swishy hair's business. 1. she is definitely not good enough for the new dimitri 2. i feel the clock ticking for harry. ruth will betray him and he will have nothing 3. where the fuck is adam?
