Plot-holes

[BravoNine]

Honestly, I just wished they hadn't dug such a big hole with this Lucas storyline.

I'm not against having characters exit, Adam left, Ros left, Jo left, Ben left, Connie left, plenty of characters that I love left and I still stayed, and I mean, when I was watching Stargate SG-1, my favorite character who was a main star from Season 1 to Season 8 exited at the end of Season 8 and I was very sad, but for the next two seasons I was still watching the show and enjoying every bit because the stories were so good and the characters didn't miss a beat. Those characters and storylines were so engaging and how the stories involved were so well done that I didn't feel like I was missing my favorite so much, I found other things to love as well.

And that was my hopes for Spooks when Series 9 first started. I knew Lucas would exit, especially with RA's schedule and then the Hobbit announcement, but such an illogical patched-up exit is not what I was expecting.

This isn't just about me saying that I'm upset because Lucas isn't in the show anymore, it's about how the story is done and if the writers give the viewers any respect. And I expected better from Spooks than to run with this illogical storyline. Especially when there are so many alternative solutions that are just as meaningful and powerful.

They could have easily drawn from the complex backstory of Lucas's history and pull out an amazing exit, but how could they write a story without any explanation?

We never really knew what this Lucas/John thing was all about, we never knew the whole point of Maya and Lucas's relationship, we never knew how John bypassed all those security measures and became Lucas, and so many more, there were just so many holes to trying and plug in this storyline that it's like trying to plug a hole with your finger when the whole dam is leaking!

And the fact that these writers didn't even bother to come up with a proper explanation and just thought this was new interesting and shock & awe, that is what really upsets me.
