[spoilers] Harry and Lucas

[TygerBright]

Jeeyayzuz, I hope I don't have to explain that my L/R suggestion was tongue most tightly in cheek, do I?!?!
Not because I fear the wrath of the H/R brigade but because it would make no sense whatsoever. And you'd need more than 8 episodes (or 8 series AAMOF) to somehow bring about that pairing. I can see them being friends as both have been through a lot, and share certain character traits, but anything else?!? Please, NO!!!!
As for Harry & Lucas... I don't think Harry sold him out unless we followed the "ultimate betrayal" hints and Harry turned out to be the one (for whatever reason.. and I somehow doubt it anyway). We might find out though why it took him so long to get Lucas back. Surely in 8 years the Russians must have "misplaced" one or two of their assets too that were worth a trade.. unless the cells in Moscow are chock-a-block with MI5/6/7/8/9... agents and Lucas was very low in the pecking order.
One thing I am absolutely certain about - we'll get more background on Lucas in series 9. Which hopefully includes his relationship with Harry. I'd love to see them go head-to-head - they're both scary when angry.
