HOLY CRAP SPOOKS IS THE BEST SPY SHOW OF ALL TIME. I've missed it so hard.

Ros - I love you. So gloriously cold and badass and passionate and dead fucking serious. You are my new all-time favourite character and I'm terrified that means you won't reach the end of season eight.

Lucas - It's the quiet ones you've got to watch. You little beauty.

Malcolm - YOU MADE ME CRY. YOU BIG DAMN FUCKING QUIET HERO.

Also, ( spoiler for first episode )

In other words, SQUEEEEEEE! Also I will be needing icons.

I have three-quarters of Wintersmith still unread, and new episodes of Spooks and Grey's Anatomy sitting around unwatched - and here I am pissing about on LJ instead.

I feel like the donkey who starved to death between two bales of hay because it couldn't decide which to eat first..!

Am having a Spooks season two marathon tonight.

Best show EVER. (Yeah, I know I say that every time I fall in love. It's been true every single time.)

Just watched Episode Five and Episode Six - lovely blend of edge of the seat and rolling-on-floor-laughing. And there's such a lovely lot still to go!!

(anyone reading this who's seen it: spoil me and I KILL YOU. thank you.)


in other (cat) news: she's been racing Spike between the bedroom and living room. It took Maisie three weeks to even allow him in the same room as her and she still won't race round the floor with him even now. Cassie kicks ass!

She also caught a fly in mid-air by the window and ate it. I'm thinking her second name may be Lyekka. Opinions, suggestions?

Season one, episode five: opening scene is meant to be a bunch of Middle Eastern types being Middle Eastern round a campfire. There are tents, there's sand and there are hawks. The hawk that the camera lingers lovingly on in the opening shot is a bloody European Buzzard.

seriously! this is the equivalent of filming a greyhound racing scene and substituting miniature poodles for the greyhounds, or the Grand National with zebras for horses. It's even more absurd when you think how many professional display hawks in this country (i.e, hawks that would be perfectly tame and unworried enough to be filmed without making drama) are Lanner falcons, which would have been perfectly appropriate for a Middle Eastern hawking scene.

/end nitpick. back to the episode now.
