Spooks: probably and sadly not my last post...

...as I still have to decide whether I will sample Adam's manpain.

I think my favourite thing about Tom Quinn's spypain of manly anguish is how well timed every crisis in the UK is to make it worse. If a terrorist can strike just when it would ensure that his private life is even more of a mess than it normally is, then they will. I think they all get together and decide who can destroy his happiness that day on a committee basis. (I have this vision of people sitting around in shabby rooms going "No! Today I shall blow something up just to ensure he is totally miserable FOREVER!" and then arguing about who has that right. They probably have a wee calendar set up to make certain they don't clash. And someone who follows him around just to see if this is the right moment to strike.)

ETA: Also, I caught the last episode of Harper's Island and I am raging that I missed the rest of it. It was awesomely messed up. I shall be buying those DVDs I think.

My ridiculously oversized new TV has arrived! Consumer and appliance joy overflows! IT IS SO GORGEOUS.

Spy manpain: who has it worse?

I should absolutely not be spending my Sunday on this. I should be doing things that will get me tenure, but this is so much more interesting. And important. THESE THINGS MUST BE DECIDED AND RANKED.

( Bourne, Bond, Tom Quinn and Lucas North. Whose manpain will win? )
