[spoilers] Lucas. Just Lucas.

I'm of the thought that there are certain things that you simply CANNOT fake. They can try to tell me that Lucas or rather John Bateman is just this cold-hearted killer who is out for himself, but I refuse to believe that the Lucas North that I saw giving his life to protect Queen and Country, risking his safety for his team, and always being there for Harry when it counted as just a simple fake act to deceive everyone. Even if he is evil John, a part of Lucas North remained in him, and to me, that part of the Lucas I love was in there fighting evil John all the way.

I can't really say that there is a balance sheet to keep track of the scores, you can't really put a statistic on how much is one life worth or even millions of lives. But John Bateman, whoever he was, whatever dark path he took, Lucas North was able to put a stop in his tracks because even though the real Lucas North was killed in Dakar all those years ago, that Lucas was living inside John, and that Lucas stopped John from killing Ruth, killing all those people at the station, and from killing Harry. I think in a way the real Lucas North has been here with us all along inside John.

I am still curious as to why RA has not announce his exit from Spooks, surely now that the show is over, he can say it? I mean, most of the other cast who made exits normally have announced either before or right after the exit, but I haven't heard a peep from the RA corner on his departure. Are they still trying to keep something secret? Or are they trying to imply that Lucas may return even though he seems pretty dead with Harry's expression looking down? Very curious!
