I'm a bit late, but I finally watched the Spooks S8 finale. A very mixed bag, in my opinion.

( Things I liked and disliked behind the cut. Spoilers! )

Yeah, I'm thinking I might stop watching now. I thought I would anyway after Ros' departure but even if I wasn't a complete RosOG I'd stop. There are no characters that grab me at all anymore and the plotlines are getting too gappy.

But wasn't it a brilliant exit for Ros? If it is an exit, naturally I'm in denial, but things do look grim.

And I love the new Home Sec. Am completely in love with him as of the instant the episode finished. lol.

I was also secretly hoping that she would be revealed as merely pretending to be an American, thus turning the accent into a genuine plot point

Now THAT would have been clever!

Lucas. Why did his IQ drop in half every time he was within 50 yards of Sarah?

THIS. Gacked in a blog quoted by the inestimable tigertrapped: "How many lightbulbs does it take Lucas to see he is being screwed?"

And Ros/Baby Home Sec: FTW!!! I want them to survive just to see them together!

Welcome back! I hope your Christmas was nice. :)

The finale left me with very little to say for some reason, although I quite enjoyed it. I think I was in a brainless mood when I watched it and was able to dismiss seven series-worth of comparisons, which is mainly where this series has been falling down I think - and pretty much all tv series start to fall down after comparison with how long they've been running.

Anyway, I also agree with all of your points, especially baby!Home Sec and the fight between Ros and Sarah (I also loved Lucas' reluctance to shoot in that scene and Ros' disgust).
