Not caring about logic, consistency in character development, credibility and other minor issues. But so what, they've given us that fantastic, new, shocking development! It will make it impossible to enjoy watching series 7 and 8, but who cares! We all should be grateful! What's credibility compared to viewing figures! And the stupid audience will have forgotten about plausibility by the beginning of next season anyway. So hurray to the writers!

I'm seriously considering tossing my series 7 dvds in the trash because I can't see any point in watching them anymore. I can think of main characters on other shows I've watched who turn into people I don't recognize or like, but none of them have changed as quickly or abruptly as Lucas. And none of the reasons for the changes were the result of preposterous backstories.
