Plot-holes

My only issue is Lucas/John getting into MI5, if they had put out a decent explanation for how the hell the guy got through so easily, I would have gladly accepted any other little detail.

I mean, I understand that every show has its suspension of disbelief, hell I went through Series 8 just fine even though it was practically just Lucas and Ros running around saving the world. I didn't get all jumped about a lot of Spooks goofs over the years because the stories made sense then, at least those little overlooked things didn't matter as much.

But when a whole storyline hinges completely on the fact that Lucas/John got into MI5 so easily and they never bother to give a proper explanation and just expect me to take it at face value, well, I have a GIGANTIC issue with this!!

Even Connie being the Russian turncoat that she is made sense with her change as it was just her philosophy that turned during her years at MI5, she wasn't suddenly some random Russian woman who loved her country so much....

Lucas's turn just doesn't make sense, even if I can forgive it psychologically and understand why Lucas would break down or how he can fool everyone, just the fact that the technical aspect of this storyline made absolutely no sense and the writers did not even attempt to give a good explanation make me not ever believing this storyline.

If the writers won't even bother to make it seem real, why the hell should I take the effort to explain it or believe it for them?
