From his first episode we weren't sure where Lucas' loyalties lay, with us or the Russians. So I don't know where you've got this idea of him always being loyal to his country? We don't know what he told the Russians during those 8 years. We just don't.

It's completely conceivable that his character turn without reason, it's in the nature of his job. I think it's a little bit naive to think that he will always be this dutiful figure whose loyalty doesn't falter. He's already shown us his lack of loyalty to Maya, who knows who or what else he's run away from.

I don't think my view is blinkered, I have seen enough evidence of Lucas's loyalty proven enough times for the last 2 series for me to trust him just as much as I trust Harry to be the rock and foundation of the team.

Yes Lucas has always been shady and toeing the line between right and wrong, but he always came through when Harry and the team needed him, so as far as I'm concerned, he IS loyal.

So unless I see a damn good reason why Vaughn and Maya have this effect on Lucas, I don't find it conceivable that suddenly he just became a different person because he saw a photograph. OR unless I see him telling the Russians all the secrets of MI5, I am not gonna believe that he betrayed his country to the Russians.

I believe in my view, you obviously have yours. They're simply different, doesn't make one view more right than the other.
