Series 9 Episode 8 discussion

[BravoNine]

I wish the writers had made it clearer, but all that logic seems to have gotten convoluted under Lucas/John's love of Maya. I wished they just dropped Maya all together and focused on his two lives and the home desired with MI5.

I think when we make our own interpretations, they actually make sense, but when I watch the episodes again, that logic and common sense gets swept under the rug and becomes murky with how they did the writing and dialog, some scenes worked, others just didn't.

But I can believe that Lucas North lived in John Bateman, and that at the end of the road, Lucas made the sacrifice to end this mess and protect his people. If I can hold onto that belief, then this ending isn't so stupid and sad. Then I can believe in Series 7 and 8 again, then I can believe that when it counted Lucas still came through and chose to end himself rather than the people he cares about.

Maybe this would have gone easier if the writers just say that he has split-personality issues or something.....hmmmmm
