[spoilers] Lucas. Just Lucas.

Mentally, there is every plausible way that Lucas could be John Bateman, with the way Lucas's head is messed up at times, I can see how his mind could have just forgotten John Bateman and casted that aside. The mind sometimes don't work in normal ways, and I could make myself believe that this plotline is plausible.

But physically and logically, the storyline the writers introduced as to HOW he became Lucas North is the main issue, that he somehow fooled MI5 and just about every other agency is the most implausible thing ever. Not to mention that the writers then end up contradicting it with scenes of Beth taking less than 5 seconds finding out the real Lucas North or Alec White finding out about Maya and John Bateman going to university together, and not to mention Lucas saying that he had been so careful.

I mean, if it didn't take that much for Alec or Beth to find out the truth, then I can't say he was very careful. All the mental stuff aside, the logics of how he became Lucas North in this storyline is very poorly explained, and that is the BIGGEST reason why I simply cannot believe that Lucas has been hiding his John side.
