These characters are like family to me, Lucas is like a big brother/uncle figure, watching him turning down this dark path, watching this John-persona coming out, it's like watching my brother turn into this evil monster. I never thought I'd see him turn into this person that I don't even recognize. I thought I knew him, all those moments alone, all those pain he suffered, all those times he protected his people and shown his loyalty, I love him so much and I put my heart and soul on the line with loving him, now it's like he's reached into my chest and tearing apart my heart. It hurts so much and I still can't believe it.

And I don't think I will ever believe it, even when this all ends, my mind will try to rationalize and accept things, but my heart never will.

I invested so much into Lucas, he's like family, and now I suppose to believe that everything I ever love and believe about him is just one gigantic fat lie? How are the writers expecting me to accept that?

That's my big complaint with this story. If nothing we've been told about Lucas is real, why should I believe that anything about any of the characters is real? In which case, why I should I care about them or be interested in them? The writers have sabotaged any development of other (including future) characters. It doesn't matter who Beth is or Dmitri or Tariq or anyone else. I'll never believe anything I "learn" about them. I'll never trust them so I'll never have any reason to be surprised by anything they do.

Right now I'm just so heart-broken....I just wanna know why? I just simply don't understand!! Why the heck it has to be this way? How did he go from a man who gave up so much for his country to suddenly being this twisted hateful cold-blooded killer? Why? That's all I wanna know is why??? What happened to the regret, the shame, and the guilt that was always behind those blue eyes?? When did he throw all that away just to be a psychopath??? How am I suppose to believe that he's tricked everyone for 15 years?? How am I suppose to believe that he's so good of an actor that he's fooled everyone around him??? How am I suppose to believe that everything I ever saw him do and say is just one big fat lie after another?? I just don't understand!!!!

Am I suppose to believe that his heart-break and sadness at that teenage boy Dean's death was just all an act and that he's really just an evil bastard? Am I suppose to believe that his attempt to run back into the building to save Ros was just an act and that he never gave a damn? Am I suppose to believe that his willingness to take a bullet and still run around London as he's bleeding just to protect his team and save the city is all just an act and that he really is simply just a cold-blooded killer?

Maybe I'm naive, maybe I'm in denial, but how the hell am I suppose to believe that Lucas was stringing us around all along?

This is gonna ruin any of enjoyment of the last two series because every time I look at Lucas then, all there will be are just lies....

They've ruined everything and anything that was ever good about Lucas, if this is the route that's gonna keep on going, there is no saving this character, he will be completely destroyed and I might as well wasted the last two years of my life for nothing because apparently it was all just a lie.
