Life: evil Russian Roman

[alexandral]

I have caught up on "Life" viewing!!!! I can't stop but noticing, however, that for some current shows the current season can be named "Evil Russians are coming to get you":

1. "Spooks"/"MI5" - Russians aim to explode a nuclear bomb in the middle of London. I liked "Spooks" in the past for the fact that the show always tried to stay balanced and not to look for an outside enemy to make a scarecrow from. It seems that this has changed , sadly.

2. "Life" - it seems that this season can be classified as evil Russian Roman vs good American Charlie. My prediction is that we will find out eventually that Roman is the driving force behind everything, even Charlie's imprisonment and all the FBI and Police guys - they just were forced into it!

Oh, my goodness, YES - definitely this is true for the last few series. While I like the actors and the characters (for the most part), they have really lost the plot.

Just watched the two episodes of "Life" from this year. After I had read your comment I thought they would also be again about the Evil Russian (TM). But he didn't play a role.

I liked both episodes. I wasn't sure if I would still "feel" it after the two month break but I didn't really have a problem to get into it at all (I skipped again through the last show from December to better remember what was going on). I just enjoy watching it. Sometimes I don't care about the cases they solve but I liked both of them.

I just read in one of the communities that Sarah Shahi is pregnant. Not sure what that will mean for the last few episodes from this season. Hopefully they have most of them already filmed (imdb counts up to 22, so there are eight eps left) so that they don't have to make up any weird plot developments.
