[spoilers] Lucas. Just Lucas.

I wish they had said that maybe he had some mental issues or something, because first of all, what normal person bombs an embassy just to "be someone, and make something of themselves"?

I mean really! What normal person does that if he or she doesn't have some deep psychological problems? I mean, just because you get stranded on a foreign continent is not an excuse to blow up embassies....

And also, the sudden arrival of informations about the real Lucas North and John Bateman, WHY did they not find them before? I mean, it took Beth less than 5 minutes apparently to find the real Lucas North and his photo, and then it took Alec not long to find out that John Bateman went to Leads with Maya....the latter part I can forgive, but the first part with the real Lucas North? That's just a huge contradiction!

To be very honest, this idea the writers have wasn't actually that horrible, but their execution was flawed, there were things contradicting each other and scenes that just didn't have enough impact or power or meaning! If they had just fleshed out the storyline a lot more and took the time to show each reason why, then maybe this storyline would have been even more amazing instead of leaving me scratching my head going "WTF?"
