[spoilers] Lucas. Just Lucas.

[BravoNine]

Poor poor Lucas, on that rooftop with Harry when Harry had said that he wished Lucas/John had met him first before Vaughn, you KNOW that Lucas/John wished the same, that he had met Harry first, got a chance to live that different life, and who knows, maybe this would have ended much differently. RA and PF really sold that scene, two people who love each other, respects each other, and knew they were standing at the end of the line and wished that they could save each other. But I guess in a way "Lucas" did save Harry by jumping off that building. Suppose that means something.

Anyways, this storyline is so convoluted and a mess that I can't even begin to say where it all went wrong. Between the magic suitcase with old photos and the love interest who had about as much personality as a sponge, this storyline was never gonna end up good.

I've seen some convoluted messy storylines before, heck 24 had the Tony Almeida resurrection storyline in Season 7 that was just about as convoluted and messed up as this Lucas plot, but at least that storyline made sense emotionally. At least Tony's reasons for doing what he did, for all the bad things he had done, they made sense, how he became what he is, what he had lost, what took him over the edge. I could understand that. But this Lucas storyline, the reasons are all wrong and that's where it just doesn't ring true to me.

There were so many other ways this storylines could have gone with different reasons and still ended up with Lucas's death if that's how the writers wanted it, and there were plenty of other very plausible and good reasons too, but the writers just had to go with the one that was the most unbelievable and the most insulting to his fans.

If the good loyal dedicated Lucas North that they portrayed him to be in the Series 7 and 8 was really just all one big act, then what's next? Tariq is really just an axe murderer? Dimitri is really a serial killer?
