I take it you have watched 10.6? :P

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

I DID. I HATED IT. I HATE THIS SHOW. I HATE EVERYONE INVOLVED. I HATE IT, I HATE IT, I HATE IT.

That was an au episode. It didn't even happen.

I'm stopping all rewatches at s8.

[bossanovababy24.livejournal.com]

I'm failing to actually see the point in the entirety of s10 if they were just going to do that to be honest. They might as well have left it as series 9. They carried on to give the H/R relationship closure and instead managed to systematically ruin 9 years of a good on-screen romance.

Shame.

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

It was pointless. Much like Tariq's death. All so fucking pointless. What a waste. What a joke. Just why?

And Harry still working? Oh please.

I had a feeling you'd hate it...
I did like it (though I'm heart-broken) but it will be so hard to re-watch, I'm quite tempted to stop my head-canon at 8.8...

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

I liked it 45mins in approx until they thought it was ok to kill Ruth FOR NO FUCKING GOOD REASON.

I am stopping my head canon at 8.8. And Ros lives.

[the-silverdoe.livejournal.com]

Yesterday I told someone the anger would probably come later for me, and actually I woke up this morning and thought "they killed off Ruth!!!", so yes I'm a bit angry now. I still think it was a satisfactory ending as far as I'm concerned (probably because I love my tragic love stories).

I am stopping my head canon at 8.8. And Ros lives.
Yeah, let's do that. I was thinking earlier I'm glad I didn't write my s9 AU because now it can be a s9 AND s10 AU! And I'll write it!

[squint13.livejournal.com]

Just jumping in, because even though I don't watch it (yet ^^) WHAT? D: They killed Ruth? DD: I'm gonna go spoil myself now and check out what's going on *nods* :/

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

THEY FUCKING DID MOTHER FUCKERS.

*clings to you* I am going to watch masses of Eleven now to make myself feel better... at least Moffat knows the value of "some days are special, some days are so, so blessed, sometimes the wind rides fair and the Doctor comes to call, and everybody lives..."

[squint13.livejournal.com]

And in the final episode too! How rude >.< I understand it was kind of pointless? I mean, IDK, but it sounded a bit like that *shrug*

*hugs* I think you deserve hugs and cookies now. And some Eleven is probably a good medicin - Eleven and his obsession with cool stuff <3

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

It was like being punched in the gut. For sadistic fun. Because the writers could. Fuck them.

I AM LIKING THIS PLAN.

*clings to it*

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

*clings back* I am considering deleting all of s10 from my harddrive and never watching it again sigh...

[novindalf]

A fair assessment. I felt like that after S8. At least then there was the comfort that it might not have happened =/

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

I now know how everyone felt when Ros died... but at least Ros died on her own terms and for something... Ruth's death was pointless and only served to allow Kudos their "audacious" ending. I am so angry

[novindalf]

I agree. Thing is, I want to dislike the ending because of its pointlessness, but at the same time it was so heart-breakingly beautiful, and I really don't want to hate the end of what has been a magnificent series.

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. I guess the thing is... I really only was staying with this show for Ruth and I feel like she didn't even get a real ending so I feel let down massively.

[novindalf]

Yeah, I understand =/

*hugs*

:(

AUs are where it's at! I'm already living in so many different ones it's hard to keep track of actual canon.

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

I've been living multiple au's since s8 but MAN this is the worst... I feel like Kudos punched me in the gut just for fun... (I imagine I felt how you felt in 10.2 with Tariq actually)

[belantana.livejournal.com]

Mostly I was annoyed about Tariq because his death was so useless in a narrative sense, whereas with the Ruth/Harry narrative, I felt like one of them had to die. (I'd've preferred it to be Harry of course, but at least Ruth's death felt like it had meaning/purpose.) I guess you see things differently story-wise though, and I don't mean to say I think your feelings about it are wrong, because I don't. Spooks reactions are so complex!

[aletheia08.livejournal.com]

I know, I know

*offers hugs, chocolate and booze*

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

Your icon describes my feelings well.

My canon ends at 8.8 with Ros getting out of the hotel.

I don't think I will buy s10.

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

I couldn't believe it! HOW VERY DARE THEY?!

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

I DON'T KNOW BUT I AM FUCKING UNIMPRESSED AND WON'T BE BUYING S10.

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

I don't blame you!

[fragglebo.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

I knew there would be no happy ending and I thought I was prepared for the possibility of Ruth not making it through the episode alive. I even predicted her death scene in some ways. Still felt like I had been kicked in the stomach though.

I was really angry about Harry being back at work. Slowly coming around to the idea that the grid is where he'll feel closest to Ruth now that she is gone but it still doesn't sit right with me. The last minutes of the ep felt very chopped up and chucked on. If we had no option but the tragedy, then I would have at least preferred an earlier end point or a touch of ambiguity over what the final outcome was. Not just work as usual for Harry after the most emotional scene ever in Spooks.

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

I AM FURIOUS ABOUT HARRY BACK AT WORK. WTF SHOW?

I feel like I have been emotionally manipulated and I don't like it.

[fragglebo.livejournal.com]

I rewatched the end scenes (I know, torture). I can't get passed being annoyed about Harry being back at work. It's like Ruth was just another victim of the job and it's back to business as usual. I'm trying to see it from a different angle but I can't.

Living through fanfic at the moment.

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

I don't think I will ever watch 10.6 again. How did Nicola say this was her favourite episode?

[cordeliadelayne]

Yeah. That was my reaction too.

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

I will not be buying s10. I don't know if I will ever bother to watch past s8 again.

I feel manipulated and cheated and wish (much like doctor who:end of time) I could erase it from my brain forever.

[cordeliadelayne]

I know what you mean. I don't really feel like I'll ever want to rewatch these later series.

[zulu-ottawa.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I knew you wouldn't like it. I'm DEVASTATED, but not angry. In a way I thought it to be an inevitable outcome - it still hurt like hell, but I was prepared for it.

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

I don't get it. I will never get it. So after ten series the theme is "it's a nihilistic world, life's a bitch and then you die so sacrifice everything fuckers." Well I don't happen to think life, even in the secret service works that way.

Is sad faced forever. or until I watch a happier show *cough doctor who*
