If my posts do come across in that manner, then I really do apologise because that really isn't my intention. I guess I just have difficulty putting my arguments across well.

What I can't understand is that if you know he is flawed then surely that's the reason he's doing all these things? My earlier argument is that his current behaviour stems from those flaws, so what the writers are doing does make sense to me.

Just because he is flawed and makes mistakes, doesn't mean that he's suddenly a cold-hearted ruthless traitor. I've always said that I can believe Lucas's actions as long as I know what the reasons are behind his actions. As how the writers so far have kept that reason secret, I don't connect to Lucas simply turning away everything he believed in for a girl he loved 15 years ago. He may desire close relationships but that's never made him a traitor.

But like I said before on my other post, as I have now discovered the secret that Lucas is so in fear of coming out, the storyline and Lucas's sudden change is making sense to me.

It didn't make sense to me before because I didn't know the reason why Lucas did the things he did, and frankly for a girl wasn't enough. But now that I know what Lucas is really trying to hide with his terrible secret, I can see why he is acting this way and even with Maya.

However way Lucas's fate ends this series, the writers certainly brought a great character story into the forefront!

I still love Lucas, and in my heart he will never stop being that loyal agent who will always come through for his people, but now I am beginning to understand his strange behaviors, and it is not out of character anymore to me to see Lucas act the way he has. The possibility of this terrible secret coming out into the open is threatening the only home and love he has left, his everything, so it now makes sense why Lucas is desperately doing anything to keep that secret from coming out.

The writers have gave a good reason, so now I can rest in peace knowing Lucas's actions are making sense in light of what this secret is.
