Series 9 Episode 6 discussion

[khandy]

I have to say that for me no matter how they spin this Lucas did cross the line he let that girl died. I actually felt sick watching it the way he said those words of comfort.

I really cannot see any plausable reason that the writers can come up with that can resolve that scene. It doesn't matter that she probably would have died. The problem I have is I could buy this whole Lucas story line if he always shown more ambuguity or cruelty but in series 7 and 8 he was at core a very moral man.

BUT

The acting from Richard Armitage is absolutely fantastic I can't imagine hiow draining this series must have been for him. The image of him in the cat at the begining was just heartbreaking.

The absolutely sick feeling he gave me as he held Danielle.

The switches from cool Lucas to emotional wrought John. It is just the sheer range he has to show that amaze me.
