Series 9 Episode 7 discussion

[DanieLa]

I must say I’m totally surprised to see how many people dislike the Lucas/ John storyline.

I think it’s absolutely brilliant.

Granted, I was never a big fan of his. When he first came on I didn’t really know what to think. To me he was this not quite right in the head sort of guy who was struggling to come to terms with his undoubtedly difficult past. But nothing more than that. He didn’t really capture my imagination.

But now, NOW he’s interesting.

And, yes, I think it’s perfectly believable that after 15 years of hiding away, of try to forget all the emotions that come with his past, a “suitcase full of memories” is all it takes to damage the facade beyond repair.

I think it’s great, especially because I’m not convinced they’re going to kill him off.

He may not be able to return as an MI5 officer, but he could still be a part of the show. – A regular bad guy, in a way.


I think 9.7 was one of the best episodes they ever put on. I like the Lucas story twist. I love what they do with Ruth’s character. I’m head over heels in love with this painful but wonderful thing Ruth and Harry have going…

I mean, come on! 9.7 was bitter sweet. It was thrilling. The acting was terrific all around!

What more could we ask for?
