RE: Lucas a good addition? - phoenix - 23-02-2010 08:52 PM When I first started watching Spooks, I was a huge fan of Tom Quinn/Matthew Macfadyen and Adam Carter/Rupert Penry-Jones, so when I say Lucas North is my favorite of the bunch, it's really saying something. I find his character to be the most interesting of the alpha-male roles they've written in the show. While the human aspect of being a spy, with its trauma and breakdowns, has been explored in almost every other episode of the show, the circumstances surrounding Lucas' imprisonment in Russia takes a whole different look at it. It's a fascinating story line to follow, that of the relationship between Lucas and Harry and also, Lucas' backstory. RE: Lucas a good addition? - JHyde - 23-02-2010 10:06 PM Hey phoenix - I'm really enjoying your posts all over the forum! You will definitely fit in well here Lots of fans love the Harry/Lucas dynamic. I can't remember if I made a thread specifically for it in the series 8 forum, but I will try and find it. If not, I think it's time to make one!

Adam was such a phenomenal character, wit, humor, poignant personal tragedy, not to mention very handsome. RE: Lucas a good addition? - Lukyan Lyubof - 29-03-2010 11:12 AM I think Lucas is a great addition to the team, adding more depth to the history of the team. (Spoiler of sorts for DVD below) In one of the interviews on the series 7 extras the writers say how they wanted to create a 'dark' hero as he had to be different to Adam so has a bit of a bad side whilst also being good. I thought they started to bring this out well. I also think that he is similar to Ros in that he is extremely tough (8 years in prison!!!) but also is more open to showing a softer side e.g. scenes with Dean. They create a brilliant team Series 8 Spoiler: show RE: Lucas a good addition? - JHyde - 29-03-2010 05:31 PM Yeah, the Lucas/Ros dynamic must be tremendous fun to write for the show's players. Lucas is endlessly fascinating. Admittedly, I'm a big Harry fan, but Lucas is intriguing for me. he is such a bundle of contradictions and RA plays that conflict really well. This character suits him better than any other I think he has played.

Adam was such a phenomenal character, wit, humor, poignant personal tragedy, not to mention very handsome. When I first watched Series 7, I was distraught by the departure of Adam, so Lucas kinda slipped below my radar. Rewatching it now, however, I am more able to concentrate on his character (not to mention his other um... assets) and agree he is a great addition. Spoiler: show |
