I liked it (spoilers) snoopcester Send a noteboard - 23/08/2011 11:01:36 PM
They didn't tie everything up neatly, of course, and I suppose they did leave the door open for a sequel at some point, but it was one hell of a final episode, I thought. Tension galore and a huge plot twist in the final ten minutes, after the actual climax - I only saw it coming a few minutes away, prior to that I really had no clue, and yet it makes perfect sense. Neatly done.


I was pretty sure it was going to be Lix or Clarence who was the Soviet spy - Lix seemed the obvious choice and Clarence if they tried to make it more of a twist, as they did.

I am torn on a second series - I'd like to see more but I think it was the right ending to leave it on, wanting more. As it is, it feels more like cutting in and out on a passage of time - it started before the show did and continued on after it ended, with us just seeing a key section out the middle.

Now that's what I call going out with a bang... I did not expect the final episode to be this good. Legolas - 23/08/2011 10:41:14 PM 684 Views
