If it is, I'm certainly not saying anyone should disregard any of the characters that we are presented with, they all have their meaning, and I surely wouldn't tell anyone to 'forget' about S7 and S8, this is not what I ment to say.
I just find S9 (the Lucas/John story) so completely confusing that I think that the writers saw S9 as standing on its own.
And to make it somewhat more understandable for me, I ask myself if I should see it like that too.
But in no way am I approving that they messed up Lucas' character and history, not to mention the many faults that are present in the script.
I too have invested 'emotions' in Lucas' character and I too was speachless when I saw what they thought up for him.

Oh no, it was a general point based upon what you had said I do see how the writers might have written S9 as a stand alone series, but what I'm saying is that because they've taken information from the previous 2 series to back up their writing, it doesn't make sense for S9 to be a stand-alone piece... does that make sense?

If they hadn't attempted to use any of Lucas' backstory from S7+8, then I would understand S9 being a completely different story, as it were. But because they used details from the previous writers, I'm never (personally) going to be able to see S9 as a stand-alone script.
