How much time have you got?"

You don't half make me laugh sometimes!

Honestly, if anything, I appreciate S9 for giving me the determination to one-day write a script for a TV-show that is coherent and actually makes sense. 9.8 could have been an elaborate attempt to encourage young screen-writers everywhere to try just a little bit harder? You do have to wonder who is paying these people, surely someone on the team would have brought up the discrepancies in the script at some point?

The main problem for me is that like it or not, Lucas was always portrayed as a victim. A victim of the state, of Harry, of Sarah, and of himself. So where the logical progression from 'victim' to 'soulless murderer' lies, I'm not entirely sure
