[spoilers] Lucas. Just Lucas.

Had Lucas stayed with her years ago, he'd be a husband and father with a 9 to 5 job living the kind of conventional life most people have. He wouldn't have been imprisoned and tortured, wouldn't have had his heart broken by Elizabeta, wouldn't have seen his colleagues die. In retrospect, her photo awakens in him not love, but regret.

I do find this a good insight in what Maya was to and brought to life in Lucas.
It's just such a shame that the writers never invested in giving her a backbone, so we could understand Lucas' reasons better.
Instead they made her a flat figure who was supposed to be a doctor (with such long fingernails, don't think so!) and who brought nothing to elevate the story.

Quote:Honestly, I will never understand why the writers chose to make Lucas a terrorist who assumes a fake identity. Even without all the plot holes and inconsistencies with prior series, it just seems like an incredibly bad idea.

Me neither, it just does not make sense!

I wonder if there would be a way to let the writers know what our thoughts are on S9?
Maybe they could learn from us .
