Maybe that says it all.

And let's face it, hate it or hate it, but I couldn't wait for the next episode, or even the ending - even though I'd guessed what would have to happen.

To be honest, their idea was really great and cool and I wouldn't have minded if they had just done it correctly without sacrificing plausibility and continuity. Even with the idea they had, they still could have made the effort to explain it better or tie it in with Lucas's past. It's not that I don't believe that people can't "reinvent" themselves, plenty of cases in real life shows they can, it's just that I can't wrap my head around how the writers did it by making everyone else seem like idiots because apparently no one in the world except two people know the truth and somehow a world full of supposedly "intelligent" spies never found out.

Yes, I do admit that I was glued to the screen to see what happens next. They did do a good job in that department keeping the excitement level up.

(a) shoot all suitcases belonging to anyone called Vaughan
(b) maybe shoot Vaughan too, just in case (<== HA!) he has another suitcase

Aha! I knew that man with the suitcase walking around outside my dorm building looked suspicious!!

Maya living? When? Where?

She's about as dead as a rock, and as dumb as a squirrel facing incoming traffic! Oh wait that's an insult to rocks and squirrels everywhere....

(e) repeat part (d) and replace "continuity" with "character" and "believability"

Me likey this idea!

Does this mean I can finally try out my new flamethrower??

LOL! Somehow I don't think Nitrus would appreciate if we melt it down.....

Series 9 had me stock up on more ice cream than I have ever eaten in a life time! Talk about spending money on comfort food!! Kudos should reimburse me!!

And ignore Series 9 exist so we can enjoy Lucas when he was loyal and true!! A hero!!
