Thank you!
You are completely righ...@onemorelurker1<br />Thank you!<br />You are completely right. I would have followed your way of establishing a not earlier developed storyline.<br />The problem why I cannot leave Spooks 9 so easily behind me is, that I think they really did a great job filming it and it is the best filmed series of Spooks so far. On the other hand, I cannot understand what they did with the main characters and especially poor Lucas. Here I also hate myself for calling him 'poor Lucas'. That he is not and it should not be necessary to defend him, but somehow his character is the only one in the show who holds all my sympathies in the end.<br /><br />Thank you, OML, for leaving 'denial-land' and going the hard route to "Spooks 9" with me!CDoarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768482276143704993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002438504617561405.post-52566196332477146222011-01-18T23:19:57.730+00:002011-01-18T23:19:57.730+00:00Great post. I think Maya's behaviour was very ...Great post. I think Maya's behaviour was very odd, specially leaving everything behind for an ex-lover that just pops up out of the blue 15 years later. <br />If she was the love of Lucas/John life, why didn't he, as you said CDoart, try to find her or get any news about her, the way he did about *Elizaveta*. I understand, 2 years before scriptwriters didn't know they'll invent Maya but they could've hinted that he had looked for her, to know what she was doing...not a photo of her to be the trigger to do it.<br />I believed Maya was Bateman's motivation/prize to achieve in the last eps, he made himself (or let Vaughn make him) think she was the only thing he had. So I could understand that after he knew that she 'knew', he keep on with the plan to go away with her and when she died, in his mind he lost her and *all* that he had.<br />One might expect that he'd surrender and cry her death but as he said to Harry (and I believed him) he just couldn't go back to jail, so he had to finish the thing with the chinese, when it didn't work...we know what happened *sigh*<br /><br />OML *runs back to denial-land*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002438504617561405.post-36230785527889541612011-01-16T14:48:31.835+00:002011-01-16T14:48:31.835+00:00@rafrenzy
Thank you!
You are absolutely right. I a...@rafrenzy<br />Thank you!<br />You are absolutely right. I also do think that I will not come to a final solution. This was the reason why I wanted to close the chapter with the old year, but I think I am not quite ready for that.<br />What keeps popping up in my mind is, that I think the scriptwriters had an ulterior motive to draw Maya the way they did.<br />More and more I think the scriptwriters are the real fans of William Blake and not Lucas North or John Bateman. They in a subtle way might have wanted to show, how fragile our establishment of right and wrong, good and evil in the political sense is. That they did not give clearer hints does not really surprise me, but I think a very strong line of criticism is very heavily built into the storyline of Spook 9.<br />Here I think our sympathy for Lucas North was something they expected. Their hinted criticism very heavily relies on this viewpoint of interpretation.<br />I am not sure if after all my posts I see spooks at every corner and now go totally off the route with my interpretation ;o)CDoarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768482276143704993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002438504617561405.post-4007838413264123652011-01-16T14:34:37.878+00:002011-01-16T14:34:37.878+00:00@phylly3
Thank you for your comment and going back...@phylly3<br />Thank you for your comment and going back to this hard to believe series 9 of "Spooks" with me. <br />As you, I also was dissappointed of 'Bateman' that he dumped her body. Why did he take her with him before when he already knew she was carrying a tracker and why leave her now? It would not really make any more difference.CDoarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768482276143704993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002438504617561405.post-67417559295042775132011-01-16T05:08:20.090+00:002011-01-16T05:08:20.090+00:00Excellent points!

She does not behave as I would imagine a doctor would, a woman in love would, or indeed as would even a responsible adult! The whole plot line is just a caricature of a love story, not even vaguely plausible. I had no feelings for her at all, except I was a bit shocked when I realized that Bateman had dumped her dead body out of the car to continue his getaway!! **shakes head**<br />I really have to distance myself from series 9 in order to comment on it because the whole thing makes me so upset and angry!Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.com
