Series 9 Episode 4 discussion

[BravoNine]

I don't necessarily think that Lucas being a love-sick puppy is ruining his character, if anything, I think that tendency of his to dive head first into a love relationship and holding it on so tightly is a big part of his character, a big part of showing how his emotions have been screwed up and damaged during his years being a prisoner in Russia. For Lucas, I don't think it's always necessarily real love, he just wants something good to hold onto and he is lost and scared without it, that's why he seems so love-sick and so intense about his relationship, for him, he is trying desperately to hold onto something good.

I have to admit though, I am hovering between wanting to smack Lucas for being a love-sick puppy or locking him in a steel room for his own safety. I swear the writers are trying to kill me! I've already had enough heart-attacks in fear of what they are trying to do with Lucas this series!!! Seriously, I've gotten more grey-hairs with Lucas than I did with my brother, and my brother's not even 5 years old yet!!

Seeing Lucas crossing that moral boundary is actually not very surprising to me, I've always thought that there were two sides of Lucas. One side is kind, caring, gentle, loving, loyal, and brave. The other side is dark, tormented, ruthless, and willing to do anything to survive. And from what I can see, Vaughn is slowly bringing out the dark side of Lucas who when in survival mode, is willing to anything to get what he wants, even if it meant innocent people gets in harm's way.

I really hope they won't kill Lucas or turn him into some evil traitor, that would be a true waste of his character, even more than him being a love-sick puppy....

Oh and Ruth had me giggling the whole time when she kept popping up behind Lucas in cooridoors, clearly she has been practicing her ninja skills!! Her teleportation's working well!
