FDHJKHJKSSLLLLL!!

Nooo. Nooooo. I said earlier that I'd decided to do a Spooks-hiatus, because it was one of the less avaliable-shows and instead focus more on finishing Downton Abbey and starting another as-of-yet-decided show.

How am I supposed to have a hiatus after that episode??

It's not fair. It's just not fair. This episode made me cry, not from grief, but from sheer frustration of it all.

This episode as a whole was brilliant, though it had a bit of a weird start: Tom and Christine's love-scene felt a bit awkward to be honest, I think it was the dramatic slow-motion and the music that did (or didn't do) it for me. But aside from that and a few other quips that I've forgotten after that mindblowing ending, it was really good. Once again the acting blew me completely away, and the scenery, the handling of the camera, darn it. So many beautiful shots:



The scenery in that scene made me breathless, and I thought: okay, it's going to even out for a little while and then there's going to be a(nother) shock!twist at the end.

Nuh-uh. Everything from Tom getting back up here and to the veryvery end had me clutching my pillow and staring in silent tension. And then the ending did blow me away. Or rather, it blew Harry away and OMG TOM SHOT HARRY OMG NONONONO AND THEY THINK HE'S A TRAITOR AND I WAS TOO CAUGHT UP IN MY EMOTIONS, HARRY ISN'T DEAD RIGHT, NOT REALLY, TOM DIDN'T DROWN DID HE AND WHO THE HELL JUST STARTS SWIMMING ANYWAY DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD IT IS TO SWIM AGAINST THE WAVES AND THE CURRENTS WHEN YOU GET TO DEEPER WATERS OMG TOM I WON GOLD MEDALS FOR SWIMMING I KNOW THIS STUFF WHY DIDN'T YOU LISTEN TO ME WHEN I WAS YELLING AT THE SCREEN FUCK IT!!! 

Sorry. Sorry, I'm done now. I'm shaking in dread and fear and I want to go kill something and I hate that I have to wait to see what's going to happen (IF TOM DROWNED OR GOT EATEN BY A SHARK OR SOMETHING I WILL...!!!!), and I just really hope Harry is okay and I loved Tom so much this season, it's hard seeing my favorite characters get split up like that. When they were at the old farm-house(?) at the end, Zoe and Danny, and Harry and Tom, the three of them just standing so demonstratively against him and then one of the last shots of Ruth crying. It's like when I see David Tennant cry, I can't not cry myself. Dammit, Spooks, it's not funny.

Well, at least I have a lot to look forward to. I'll desperately fight the urge to go read the episode synopsis of 3x01, though I'm pretty sure one of my friends once mentioned that Tom didn't die, but I'm not sure if that was a beautiful dream or wishful thinking or another of those hallucination I get when I drink Absinthe (I'm joking, don't worry. I fly when I drink Absinthe...). Also, again, did I miss something, Harry was still alive at the end right? I was too caught up in the yelling. Getting shot in the shoulder, people have survived worse! (pleaseplease don't be dead Harry... and pleaseplease don't spoil me on anything dear f-list)
