Series 9 Episode 8 discussion

[BoHenley]

Missed opportunities really summaries that storyline, doesn't it? So much the writers could've (and should've) done, but chose to ignore it and go for the "crash bang" impact of the final episodes and the ludicrous Lucas-is-John plot. SOME parts were quite good. Lucas's final internal conflict with the "John" persona was really quite well done (on second viewing). But if they'd really investigated the personal costs to a mentally tortured character - how good would that have been?

And yes, Byatil, I still feel disappointed about the ending. And I do think Lucas stepped off the roof - watch Harry's reaction, particularly when he wipes his hand over his face. Still doesn't explain those bloody footsteps.
