Spooks! Bah humbug

I hate, hate, hate sheer stupidity amongst people who are meant to be intelligent.

I suspect that's not the reaction TPTB were hoping to elicit, but I was sadly unmoved by tonight's dramatic happenings. Because the stupidity. It burns...

I don't see that Jo was stupid -- she's inexperienced and was being guided by the more experienced operative. Plus, she assumed that Fiona had *told* Adam what was going on.

As for Fiona, I could (just about) buy why she didn't tell Adam what was going on, but why the *hell* didn't she tell Harry? He can certainly keep a secret and could have worked with her in keeping Adam out of the loop and away from danger.

I like Fiona but don't have a problem with what happened to her -- dramatic development and all that. What I do have a problem with is the *way* it happened. She's an intelligent woman but she certainly didn't act like it. Yes, she was scared, but even so... Sigh.

I see what you mean about Jo, though we were shouting at the TV for her to call and let them know what was happening.

We couldn't believe Fiona either. There was a moment when I wasn't sure if 5 knew about the stuff in Syria, but it soon became obvious everyone knew. Which makes it even more insane that she kept it from Adam, or, failing Adam who is about as crazy when it comes to the whole thing as Fiona, then yes, at least Harry.

Also, that whole thing at the end with the glass? Could. Not. Believe it. WTF? Though yay for getting him lol

Actually, the bit at the end with the glass was the bit I found...well if not plausible at least dramatically engaging, and rather clever. Worthy of Fiona. Pity about the rest of the episode.
