军情五处第一季

Spooks ended its sixth season with a bang, which is what it have been doing every season. When a fast-pacing, shocks-stuffing series enters its sixth season, it’s much more difficult to provide more surprises. The strategy seems to have one story throughout the season. The story, that Iran is acquiring nuclear weapon technology, is quite timely, as usual. Spooks has distinguished itself with topical and sensitive storylines, which wins a lot of admiration. In the previous season, Adam Cater has to decide weather or not to shoot a terror suspect on spot, on the crowded street, who is believed about to blow himself and bystanders off. Of course Cater’s decision is the correct one, fully vindicated afterwards. It is darker and uglier in real life.

But I feel it’s kind of lost the focus a bit at the beginning of the season. And gosh, MI5 is so seriously short of hands. Everyone in the section D has to do everything, even Harry has to kidnap someone, and a retired officer and a noisy journalist have to be called into action. They also seems spending a large amount of screen time trying to save each other. In such genre, it is most interesting and intense when the personal safety and integraty of the protagists are threatened. However when it happens too often, it loses the power of shock, only lookes careless.

Fortunately it’s back to form in episode 6, when Adam and Rose try and fail to stop the handing over of the nuclear bomb trigger on the plane. However in the next episode, when some white extremists hijack the stagged live Question Time type of show, it’s just a bit silly really. The plot has never quite recovered after that I’m afraid, although in the last episode, it comes back, albeit with the old trick - the personal destiny of our protagonists.

Having seen the stranger than fiction reality of the war on terror, and enjoyed many similar shows with twisted plot and morality, the audiences are almost immuned to any kind of horror. By turning to the establishment and to each other, Spooks managed to shock the unshockable once again.

说实话,这部片子情节涉及比较多的政治和恐怖组织的复杂关系,我真不太懂.虽然不是部感情剧,但是对几个主角的感情描写太粗枝烂叶,ELLIE的神经质我不太能理解,TOM那么快能投入下一段感情我也很惊讶~还没全看完,哎,TOM不出现的时候我看着都想睡觉了....HOHO~~

很想看到男主角是怎样大海余生的。
不能否认英文发音很美，再加上那个不死英雄的蓝色深眸，即使老套点的剧情，有什么可唏嘘呢？

看Spooks，纯粹冲着第3季才出现的Rupert Penry-Jones，但是秉着看片也要有始有终的态度，还是从第一季开始看。

始料未及的是，不过几集功夫，便迷恋上了Tom Quinn，顺带爱上Matthew McFadyen。

其实英国片要选出色的男主还真是方便到伸手便拈来的地步，学院派演技派一抓一大把。而spooks选人更是发挥到极致，3任男主居然身高都是6英尺2，还都演过Jane Austen的小说。还真是古典现代气息集于一身。

Tom Quinn其实不漂亮，除了绿色的大眼睛和长到不像话的睫毛。

第一季时和一有女儿的丑女纠缠不清的感情其实有些惹人厌烦，实在是不知道那女人究竟有哪点可以让他如此fancy，神经质不说还完全不supportive，除了逼迫他之外貌似也没做过啥实质性事情，做花瓶纯粹穿插感情戏么又丑了点，只能说英国女人已经弄到男人彻底丧失审美眼光了，无怪乎英国片腐到骨子里。

而英剧的爱他就要往死里虐他在第二季后半段也发挥得淋漓尽致，于是一边看一边抓狂的想要骂人。不过Tom这时的领导力和tough也就尽显无遗。

很遗憾，和Adam Carter的交集那么少，两188的男人站在一起就那么养眼，更不用说彼此虽然才认识却因为行事方式而惺惺相惜。

Adam其实和Tom完全不同，从他和Danny说如何得到他老婆时就可看出，不羁，潇洒，却又冷漠。而任何人都不能否认RPJ的漂亮吧？于是摄影师可以继续开心地拉近景，侧脸。并且虽然同为188公分，RPJ的身材看着比Matthew则要更好，于是继续服装秀，只可惜呐，踢掉Matthew后可没什么人能配得上他了。

第3任男主呢，North and South的Richard Armitage，没看过他的片子，于是要等看到才能评价了。

今晚 Spooks 第7季播出了最后一集(第8集)，我觉得虽然到了第7季，这套剧集依然保持水准。不过要讨论这一季的Spooks不得不谈到最后2集的剧情，所以如果你还没看又不想被剧透，就不要点下面的链接。
　　
Spooks的剧情经常能紧跟当前国际局势的发展，上一季的主线是伊朗。最近几个月来，俄罗斯与西方的冲突又回到公众视野，比如美国打算在捷克部署反导弹系统，俄罗斯则宣布会在波罗的海部署短程核导弹作为报复、格鲁吉亚战争等等事件，似乎欧洲的冷战格局有隐隐重现势头。于是这一季的主线是 MI5和俄罗斯FSB的较量。世界金融危机是在夏天忽然加剧，但在本季就已有一集是以此为主题。相比之下，伊斯兰恐怖活动就不再是最重要的主题。
　　
以西方和俄罗斯之间的间谍战为主题，好处是剧情可以有更多峰回路转，可以回到敌中有我、我中有敌、敌友难分、个个可疑、不能相信任何人的状态。这是传统的间谍片套路，但是依然非常有效，扣人心弦。另外，就象有些恐怖片影迷喜欢看僵尸被砍一样，在不少间谍片影迷眼中，智斗冷血杀手也确实酷得多。

刚刚从BBC网站看到，BBC已经和Spooks的制作公司 Kudos 签约，将会拍第8季。

看MI-5，就越发觉得英国人在这方面跟美国人比实在是小巫见大巫了，尽管在imdb上它有9分之多，这个英国版的类24，实在有点小家子气，看来看去，军情五处如此大的机构，似乎只有五个人，其中包括三个领导同志，处理的案件也很无厘头，比如首集，讲一个老太婆反堕胎搞爆炸事件，为了突显此老太婆的权力之大，安排了一个人跟她对话，一共就两人，开口闭口就是我们组织如何如何，最后也没见到这组织还有什么别的人，看得我只想笑。后面几集稍有进步，我坦白再不济我也看了一季了，只为太喜欢那对夫妻档的主角呀。
