Spooks: Code 9

[Australis]

I haven't watched it, but your descriptions remind me of SG-1 ep '200', where they replaced all the castmembers with younger, angsty versions. Damn funny. Maybe I'll have to watch it on that level.

If this keeps up, I wonder how they can cancel the series and make it apocryphal (i.e. not doom the London of the current Spooks universe to its eventual fate in Code 9).

^I thought the second was better than the first, and the third was better than the second, but yeah, the best it's managed is average... and that fucking stupid flag transition is annoying the piss out of me.

I got used to the flags, that said I think the 2nd episode was the best, and wont be watching anymore of it.

um this would be a problem even if Code 9 was good.

That said considering the bomb goes off in 2012, Spooks may not be on air then, so it wont be a problem.

however lets say it is on air in 2012, um either an alt reality? a work of fiction by one of the Spooks?

We are lucky in that so far nothing from Spooks has appeared in Code 9, making it easier to write off, its only the title that makes this a Spooks spin off.

TBH I dont think Spooks will run till 2012 so it wont be a problem.

Won't be watching after episode 2 or 3?

Well to be fair there was a fair amount of angsting in Spooks anyway. But yeah, I thought the same thing.

I think they said this next one may be the last series of Spooks, but I guess the way the keep replacing the cast, they could go on forever.

I dunno, not sure who could step into Firth's shoes and be half as good.

I know what you mean, but I suppose there's always possibilities. A lot of it would be down to convincing writing.

^ I hear read in a couple of places that the next season is the last of Spooks, but I havnt seen it confirmed

I thought sunday's episode was pretty good, and is next week the season finale?

I'm actually looking forward to a second season.

They have to do one after the way they left this one.

I've been enjoying the series so far but today was a disappointment. The breakout was far too easy and it was obvious from the pilot who the traitor was. Leaving it the way they did was to get a hook for season two. The only problem I see is the arc they might use.

A disappointing finale but not a ratings killer, but we'll see.
