These characters are like family to me, Lucas is like a big brother/uncle figure, watching him turning down this dark path, watching this John-persona coming out, it's like watching my brother turn into this evil monster. I never thought I'd see him turn into this person that I don't even recognize. I thought I knew him, all those moments alone, all those pain he suffered, all those times he protected his people and shown his loyalty, I love him so much and I put my heart and soul on the line with loving him, now it's like he's reached into my chest and tearing apart my heart. It hurts so much and I still can't believe it.

And I don't think I will ever believe it, even when this all ends, my mind will try to rationalize and accept things, but my heart never will.

I invested so much into Lucas, he's like family, and now I suppose to believe that everything I ever love and believe about him is just one gigantic fat lie? How are the writers expecting me to accept that?

That's my big complaint with this story. If nothing we've been told about Lucas is real, why should I believe that anything about any of the characters is real? In which case, why I should I care about them or be interested in them? The writers have sabotaged any development of other (including future) characters. It doesn't matter who Beth is or Dmitri or Tariq or anyone else. I'll never believe anything I "learn" about them. I'll never trust them so I'll never have any reason to be surprised by anything they do.
