Lucas North Speculation

A classical interpretation of the tone of the retcon done on this character suggests the writers of season 9 would like us to accept Lucas North as the pivot of both the damnation and the salvation of John Bateman. John’s damnation is guaranteed by his murder of Lucas North, but he pursues his own redemption in the decision to become the man he has killed. John is, for the writers of season 9, a warrior eating the heart of his enemy, thereby becoming the thing he has destroyed, and taking on the admirable qualities of the worthy adversary. It’s not a terribly original approach, but it is an undeniably potent one.

That idea would actually be really really cool and would have worked amazingly if they actually had writers who knew how to handle such a storyline without dropping a million plot-holes at every corner.

I do congratulate the writers on being able to make everyone in the show appear incredibly stupid! Because really, the level of stupidity exhibited by these characters and "intelligence" agencies was something I had not seen before! Good for them!
