Series 9 Episode 8 discussion

[BravoNine]

The series did came off well, mostly because the actors brought out their A-game and turn this storyline into something powerful and emotional that the writing itself couldn't offer.

I don't mean to sound like a grouch over this writing and its issues, but as a writer myself, it annoys me to no ends when storylines don't connect or make sense the way Series 9 has with the Lucas storyline. With this show, I put my heart and soul into it, and I feel like the writers at least owed me that amount of effort rather than just quickly try to gloss over a good decent explanation. When I write, I am always so perfectionist and meticulous that I consult books, read timelines, and do everything to make sure the history and storylines stay on track, I just feel like the writers didn't do enough of that with Lucas's storylines.

I'm not saying that this whole entire series was horrid, it definitely wasn't, there were plenty of great stories and scenes where the team were amazing and the writers did a great job of it, but they messed up with the Lucas storyline and it just disappoints me.

Maybe I have put these writers too high on a pedestal, or maybe I had too high of an expectation after all the great stories this show has had, and I understand it's not always easy for the writers. But I guess I just expected more.
