Weekly Wrap Up
One assignment down, one left to go.
Under cut link for entertainment thoughts :P
Ok, people might remember way back that I said I was going to hunt down Spooks and bump it to the top of my BBC drama watching list? Because Keeley is in it? Well... that was not such a good idea. I'm up to season five and Spooks rates as one of the most fucking stressful programs I've ever watched in my life. I'm onto season five now and in that time seven, SEVEN, seven main characters have died, had a nervous breakdown or been kicked off the grid in some way. I mean really? This does not do wonders for my university work, nor my sanity. Especially when Keeley was one of the ones who left! I cannot tell a lie. The moment when Zoe walked out of the door for the last time while Danny looked on in despair because he was in love with her and knew he would never see her again... I blubbered hopelessly.
Oh my fickle mind. I hated you Keeley Hawes. Now I kind of am in love with you.SO WHEN YOU GET YOUR REVENGE ON ME BY LEAVING THE SHOW THAT I WATCHED BECAUSE OF YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE... man karma's a bitch.
All through season four Mum would plantitively moan "Zoooooeeee" at random intervals. She also came into my room in the middle of the night once and said dead seriously "Do you think Zoe is happy now?"
Me: Mum. Zoe is not real.
Mum: But... but... if she was real?
Me: I'm sleeping.
That to me is the strength of Spooks as a show. The characters are very realistic characters and you really feel for them... of course this is also helped by Kudos' casting of outstanding actors.
When Zoe left I tried transferring all of my love into Adam's wife which did not work because... well you can guess what happened.
So then I jumped onto the Ruth bandwagon... well I was already on the Ruth bandwagon but in a less of a "oh shit if Ruth leaves my heart will bleed" kind of stage that I had gotten to with Zoe. But then you know Ruth is just so cool and so like me if I were a Spook and her and Harry are so damn cute that before I knew it... yep... now if Ruth leaves my poor heart will break and my Mum will be walking around moaning 'Ruth, Zoe" at random intervals.
This is Spooks. It will happen. My heart will be broken again. I know this because somewhere along the line Nicola Walker who plays Ruth had a kid and left for a couple of seasons. There's only 8 seasons. I'm onto the 5th one. I live in fear.
Also, on the subject of Nicola Walker. She is God. Jokes, but really, her and Peter Firth's underplaying of the whole Ruth/Harry thing is the greatest chemistry I've seen on screen since Galex with Keeley and Philip. I will admit to watching the hand hold fail on the bus about four times now because it is so damn cute. In fact its so damn cute I'm posting the caps.
Look at her smile. Look at his face. They are just so cute!!!!!!
I wanted to murder Harry when he moved his hand away and said "Look after Adam." If I wanted further proof that Nicola Walker is the awesome, I only needed to listen to the episode commentary when she said in character at that bit "Oh Harry. Adam, schmadam."
Damn it. First Stephan Moffat turns me into a shameless Amy/doctor, Doctor/River shipper, and Ashes to Ashes turns me into a shameless galex shipper and now Spooks turns me into a shameless Harry/Ruth shipper. Oh fandom, how I love thee :P
But when Ruth leaves... I don't know if I'll cope... I love her too much and I've already had to deal with SEVEN others leaving :(
I was hoping I wouldn't have to fork out money for all of Spooks- just the Zoe/Keeley ones, but damn it seasons 1-4 are all flipping great. Looks like we're buying the set.
Everyone, I demand you all go watch Spooks. It's worth it. The second episode in of season one is a killer. Watch out for the chip oil. I went into shock at the end of that episode.
It was so hard choosing an icon for this entry but I went with Ruth in the end. She's just too cute. I'll get around it by changing my main pic to Zoe. Oh, I'm so clever ;)
********
In other news:
I wish Ashes to Ashes 3 would air here soon otherwise I will miss the Australian run and have to watch it on DVD in the UK which would be sad :( It's not the same watching it when you like as agonising from week to week :P I've heard the finale is good. My heart sings with joy.
I'm seeing Iron Man 2 on the weekend without watching Iron Man 1. Foolish? Definitely but I want to watch Spooks tonight rather than some silly action movie. Yeah did I mention I'm addicted. I am so freaking addicted that on ANZAC Day I pointed out to Mum that now would be a good time for terrorists to blow up Sydney. Mum's reply: Um... what? Too much Spooks for you clearly."
Me: But it's true!
Mum: haha let's spot Zoe saving us in the crowd.
Sadly we didn't spot the Zoe dawg. More's the pity.
You also know you're obsessed with a show when you have crazy dreams about making friends with Ruth and then trying to rescue her from a marauding scarf strangling terrorist. Hey, it made sense in my dream. Cough. It was scary. I wanted to wake up around the point where scary terrorist man said he would shoot me if I told Ruth about him. Wtf? What is my subconciousness telling me?
I think that's it for now. Sheesh what a long post about nothing :P
