Honestly, the big nosedive came at the end of 9.6, it was from there that everything just went completely and utterly pear-shaped!

At least through the first 5 episodes, and even in Episode 6, we had competent/real Lucas who did his job and looked out for his team, he was actually doing well despite the whole Maya/Vaughn crap that was going on. He was still MI5 agent and his real-Lucas side was still showing. Hell I was cheering him on in Episode 6 when he figured out the lies and he stuck to his beliefs, I was as proud as the team was to know Lucas was holding up his own.

And then the end of Episode 6 was like a giant explosion went off and Lucas went coo-coo!

From that point on there was just no going back...it was ruined...gone...

Also, this was pulled from the interview with the two headwriters of Series 9 and this is their comment when asked if they were concerned about negative reactions for this Lucas storyline.

"Not half! We knew there was dedicated core of Lucas and/or Richard fans who would want our heads on sticks. But you have to balance that against the desire to deliver a big, unexpected, shocking story and do something really ambitious - like turning your alpha male hero into someone else entirely. Giving Lucas a heroic exit would have been the safer thing to do, and Kudos are admirably rigorous about not taking the easy option."

Well I am glad they weren't worried about the fans being actually smart and intelligent, I'm so glad they went with the dumber nonsense than the easy option...

This just makes me hate the writers even more....smug idiots...

So their idea of fresh new exciting way to give Richard an exit is to turn Lucas into a crazed-killer who magically got into MI5 without a half-decent explanation, and they call this PLANNING? It's a load of BS!

At this point, I'm not even asking for a heroic exit, how about an exit that actually makes sense!!!!!!

Thank god Richard is now off to do a much better project with writers who can actually write good stories...
