[SPOILERS] What I Never Told You About Tariq

Episode 10.2 Spoilers ahead, proceed at your own risk!!

What I never told you about Tariq is this – he totally reminds me of one of my ex-boyfriends! (a good one! still friends in fact). This is going back in the day to my undergraduate degree. So I have to confess I have a bit of soft spot for the grid’s IT geek. Like Tariq my former fella…

Spooks 10 Drinking Games

Are you following the Spooks Fan Blog on Twitter? We had a little fun recently coming up with ideas for hypothetical drinking games during the airing of Spooks (NOT LONG TO GO NOW!). Using the hashtag #spooks10drinkinggames, here’s a sample of what we came up with:

Every time Ruth looks away from Harry meaningfully, we have to down a shot of lavender oil (@BunchOfSteve)

When Tariq says “facial recog” & every time Ruth walks into Harry’s office w/o knocking (@shaijinx)

Any mention of a deceased team member and any mission’s codename (@TheMozFromOz)

When downloading 2usb &/or see screen of said important information downloading against the clock (@katy_aka_bob)

Words ‘eyeball’ ‘alpha 1′ (@golddustalex)

Drink whenever Harry and Ruth gaze at each other lovingly but their relationship doesn’t progress (@walktothestars)

Drink every time a character onscreen dies (@golddustalex)

And some of my suggestions @SpooksFanBlog:

Whenever you hear the words ‘the comms won’t work underground’

Should you be wanting to get paralytic (not advised!) Whenever Harry is on the phone

Shots of vodka at the mention(s) of Lucas/John

If Tom or Zoe turn up, go the whole bottle!

And if drinking aint your thang and you live downunder. Whenever someone goes through the pods, you can eat one.

And whatever happens HAVE ONE FOR ROS!

LAST MINUTE HARRY/RUTH PREDICTIONS?


Series 10 starts oh so soon. Before it does, let’s have some last minute speculations. HOW will it end? Will Ruth and Harry FINALLY get it together? Will the Spooks finale break our hearts (and theirs)? What do you think will happen? However it goes down, it will be a bittersweet joy to see Peter Firth and Nicola Walker take the beloved Harry Pearce and Ruth Evershed through their final paces. How do you think their story will unfold?
