[Naivety]

The Lucas plot is pretty convoluted and if you're a the TV equivalent of a swing voter I should think shows with simpler plots are going to win. If they had upped the Harry and Ruth thing more I think the series would do better, but I should think a lot of people have given up hope of that. The Lucas plot has probably been a bit complicated for some. I love it, because you do have to get involved with the plot, but it's not to everyone's taste in these soap and reality TV obsessed times.
