My Remedy for Lucas North Withdrawal

Spooks Season 10, the final season, starts in the UK tomorrow. I've been feeling a bit nostalgic about Lucas North (NOT John Bateman) and the only solution today for me was to make a video. I don't know why a video, just what I needed to do. I thought about Lucas and Beth, the good times, because Sophia Myles is also not returning to Spooks for Season 10.

When will we see the new and last Spooks or MI5 season in the US? Who knows? My local PBS station is repeating Spooks Season 5, I catch it once in a while late on Sunday. I know not all PBS stations show Spooks/MI5. So I might have to wait for the DVD as always.

I'll miss Spooks/MI5 and Harry and Ruth. I still miss Lucas.

The song is from the Finnish TV series RAID, the singer is Mari Rantasila. I just like the song.

You might try watching out on castv.com-- that's how I managed to get season 9 in the US - It was 2-3 weeks behind but I got it during the actual BBC season. I be trying myself as well.

Is it weird that I have never watched SPOOKS?

I feel like I have missed out on something

@Fanny Thank you for your comment, much appreciated my friend. No matter what we saw in Spooks last night, Lucas lives for me :)

@Scott Here I am thinking everyone in the UK watches Spooks - LOL. I like spy stories and mysteries. I started watching the show from the beginning on a US cable channel, they later cancelled it and since then it has been a challenge to watch. Has never had rating success in the US sadly - maybe because of bad editing for commercials.

I enjoyed your video very much. So nice to focus on the good times. Season 9 started with such promise. I want to go back there and visit again! :)

@phylly3 Thank you,I'm so happy you liked my video :) Even now I can only watch the good times of Season 9 again. It's not as much Lucas' ultimate fate, but the way they did it in Season 9 that makes me very sad.

Hannibal: Season 3 Review by Eric Goldman Love crime -IGN

And wow, was this version of Red Dragon awesome. Yes, it streamlined some aspects – we didn’t get any of the Dolarhyde flashbacks (one tiny glimpse aside) and Will’s role was altered, to some extent. But this was creepy, intense storytelling through and through, with Richard Armitage bringing just the right mix of scary and semi-sympathetic as Francis Dolarhyde, a murderous, delusional monster who was at war with the potentially loving man somewhere deep inside him – a war amplified as Dolarhyde fell for the blind Reba (a strong Rutina Wesley), even as “the Dragon” was coming to life within him, compelling him to kill.

His face went from “imma kill" to “Flowers and tea, yay let’s go play" And I got up and walked over to him. He said (in the mst adorable accent on the planet) Hello there, I’m Richard.""

North & South and Spooks (MI-5) Win Top Spots in BBC America's Top British Drama's of All Time

North & South wins the #2 spot in BBC America Anglophenia Readers Poll of the 10 Best British TV Series of All Time.

I hope BBC America and PBS (US Public TV) will look at the results of this poll and will broadcast this wonderful series in the U.S. It aired only once in only select PBS stations back in 2005, I know because I was one of the lucky ones that saw it then. I don't recall that it ever aired on BBC America.

Also great news that Spooks or MI-5 in the U.S., won the #7 spot in the reader's poll. Another series that has never been allowed the time to find it's American audience on PBS or BBC America.

The time is now PBS and BBC America for US audiences to see these two great British programs.

For the results of the Anglophenia/BBC America poll click on the link below:

"The Hobbit" Question of the Month: Sexy Dwarves or Bearded Dwarves?

Unless you've been under a rock lately you know that Peter Jackson and "The Hobbit" group have been very busy making casting announcements about the film. Because of the casting of several very attractive actors (talented actors all) for the Middle-earth dwarves (Richard Armitage, Aidan Turner, and others) there's quite an interesting discussion developing between Tolkien purists and fans of the actors in question, or just movie fans in general about whether the look of the Middle-earth dwarves should remain true to the book, or maybe changed to provide some eye candy for us ladies.

There's a marvelous and very funny article all about this issue on www.theonering.net by Maegwen. You can read the entire article by clicking HERE.

I was just inspired by the article and RA Central (on Twitter) to post the unscientific poll below. So how about it world, do we want sexy dwarves in Middle-earth or hairy, long-bearded, dwarves?
