[spoilers] Lucas. Just Lucas.

[tastiger]

I watched Spooks from the beginning but when I found out that RA was coming on the show...wow I was ecstatic! He was a favorite of mine since North & South so watching him develop this tortured soul in Lucas made me view the character as vulnerable but still strong.

I agree with everyone's comments that the demise of Lucas was not true to the character and a huge disappointment. I felt cheated and now think back to the past episodes as a total lie. I understand that actors come and go and that has been an especially difficult part of watching and loving Spooks but I also had come to expect with each demise of a favorite character an honest and believable storyline. RA/Lucas was not given that chance...all we got was a convoluted, twisted additional character in John. Who in the world have we been watching for the past 3 years??? I thought I was investing my time in caring for Lucas and his struggle to get back his life. Now we find out that his life is nothing but a lie. If I had to see Lucas go I think I deserved to see him go out in a blaze of honorable glory....not watch him give the enemy the power to kill or jump to his death like a coward. RA/Lucas deserved much more and so did we.
