My thoughts exactly. He's such an interesting character who has always had a certain ambiguity about him, and while I, personally, prefer him to be a "white hat guy" with a few dark patches & scratches, I wouldn't mind if he went full-on dark side as long as he has good reasons... and I could think of a few. Bit like a football match - as long as it's exciting and reasonably fair, I don't care much who wins (well, mostly )
One thing though - I feel we haven't seen enough of Luc.. let me rephrase that - there are still so many things we (I) need to find out about him. We've barely scratched the surface of the mystery that is Mr. North. It would be unfair to discard him after series 9...
As for the coming and going - I assume in the Spooks' line of work, a certain steady flux, in either direction, is inevitable. A mass dump or swap of main players though would disrupt the flow.. and without Ros, Section D is already severely under-staffed. Losing Lucas too would force Harry back in the field (y'know, sans tie, open-collared white shirt, dark coat, black leather gloves, gun, jumping into a car, driving off, tyres squealing... and a glass of whiskey after the job's done )
I don't think all 5 newbies will be working for Harry, or MI5 for that matter... New players can be good, as long as they're bled in slowly and reasonably...(sorry about the footie analogies, I'm still trying to keep my mind off the Lucas' conundrum..)
