It certainly would be a parallel......however, I think I'm more interested in knowing WHY Lucas knows Harry's clothing size, unless Lucas used to go pick up Harry's dry cleaning or something....hmmmmm wish they had explored their relationship more....

Pulse? Maya? Never, that's like impossible!

Lucas fought his way back, he knew he had to put an end to the monster that is John, so he jumped, he sacrificed his life knowing there was no way out for himself, and that he wasn't gonna take anyone else down with him. He jumped so his team and Harry could be safe.

Lucas was a damn good spook, he was born to be a spook, whether he was John or Lucas, the guy was good at what he did, he had a talent in this business, if he didn't, he couldn't have pretended this long. And who knows, if he had met Harry first, maybe things would have been different. Considering how Lucas was able to run circles around the team all by himself, I am very impressed, heck Lucas can run a one-man operation to take down anyone if he can even keep Section D out of his way! WOW!

Yes the storyline was a very courageous try, I don't deny that, and maybe if the reasons weren't so convoluted and muddy it would have actually been a very amazing storyline.

Even when she was angry, her voice sounded exactly the same, it's like she has no passion. She was extremely dull! I've seen ameobas with more personality!

Just imagine if we can see filming bloopers! LOL! Those would be hilarious, I mean, the show is so serious that it's gotta get to them at one point or another that what they're doing is completely ridiculous and they have no idea what's happening!

I just wanna see a dramatic stunt or something and have someone fall!

The thing I always come back to is the scene with Lucas/Ruth and all the struggling and fighting stuff, RA is such a big gentleman softie that he probably was worried that if he pushed too hard that he would hurt NW, poor thing must have been terrified! LOL! He's probably like saying sorry every other sentence!
