Nov. 24th, 2008 11:31 pmHOLY FUCK, NOT SPY!GRAN.* WHY SPY!GRAN, WHYYYYYYYY?! I know there was foreshadowing all over the place but I never thought it would be like this.
AND BEN WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK. (That scene? I mean, I saw it coming, and I still lost my shit completely.) (It was terrible.) (I am CRYING ABOUT THIS.) (The part that COMPLETELY broke me? When Ben says no to the (poisoned-)tea. The way she's all kind of regretful. That was the moment at which my heart shattered into a million million pieces.)
I would like fic about Maria and Harry and all the ways in which they never knew each other. Lucas in Russia was a BOON, and his rapport with Maria K was endearing. I wish she hadn't died, either, but it was obviously just that kind of episode.
*) Why is it that none of the senior female agents seem to stay the course? Tessa, Juliet, Ros [kind of], and Spy!Gran :'(((( I wish it wasn't her not only because I LOVE HER but because I liked that she was kickass and senior and so fucking competent. BUT HOLY SHIT COULD SHE GIVE IRINA DEREVKO A RUN FOR HER MONEY. BITCH IS COLD.
To be entirely honest, when she hissed at Harry like a cat, that made me love her even more. (That picture of her that Lucas finds in Russia? Jees, that woman was a looker. So pretty. So classical.)
AM LOSING MY SHIT OVER HERE BTW. Assume that all things not written in uppercase are in implied-uppercase.
edit: the thing is, I know SpyGran's evil and all, but she's evil in a rather badass way. (That BLADE? WTF.) I AM WRECKED, GUYS. TOTALLY WRECKED. (Buuuut: evil! Oh god. I am ~CONFLICTED~ about all of this!)
BEN BEN BEN BEN BEN BEN BEN BEN BEN. !
(The problem, frankly, is that I am Tragedy's bitch, and in a rather perverse way, I love how much this hurts.) (SPYGRAN WHAT.)

We are watching Without a Trace. Jack has been tied up by LT. COL. HOLLIS MANN. Fuuuuuuuck yeah.

More Spooks: Ros' outfits this season have been magnificently tailored. Whilst all of the above was going on, her skirt/blouse combo continued to appeal to me. I AM JUST SAYING.

EXPLICIT SPOILERS IN THIS COMMENT.
Date: 2008-11-25 12:35 am (UTC)Ben is so very dead, and it is heartbreaking. SpyGran kills him - apparently with the underwire from her bra. (Um, no. But the long metal blade does come from the lining of her top.) SLITS HIS THROAT.
I AM CRYING, SOPH.

Date: 2008-11-25 12:55 pm (UTC)I watched the first 20 minutes or so (please, he told Lucas to apologise to that woman that it took him this to get in touch, I immediately thought it might be Ruth, which I'm sure was entirely intentional, and then i had to watch until we saw her) and then forced myself to bed.
I have to watch this tonight, OMG.

You know how this show can completely come off the rails in terms of insane and yet still be ridiculously compelling? EXACTLY THAT.
lols. I will be waiting for your post.
