RE: Plot-holes
(14-04-2011 03:06 PM)A Cousin Wrote: As for the MI5 vetting process presented in S9, does it make sense in the real world? I hope not! Is Spooks the real world? I hope not! I allow it because I accept that an extraordinary character like Lucas found a way to wiggle through the cracks. I've seen it happen in my life although on a much much much smaller scale. Its an option. A highly improbable, but possible, option. So I jumped the hole. Though the cracks that contradict itself at every turn, and barely explained properly? I'm sure people wiggle through the cracks all the time, but when the very center point of your main storyline is built upon cracks, then how can it be a well-constructed story? The writers expect me to believe in this drastic sudden 180 character change and newly created backstory we've never heard and a new love interest, that's all fine and dandy, but if they want me to believe that, they better give me some damn solid evidence. I don't need flimsy explanation or quickly glossed over quips. I want a real proper explanation, I want to see the logic that makes sense. That is not too much to ask for in writing a good story because I have seen it done well. Maybe my expectations are high, but Spooks has always held itself up as quality good drama, so I expect it to be done well. And if other shows that I watch can bring in plausible and well-written sudden character changes (and Spooks itself had done well with Connie), then I see no reason why they couldn't put more effort into explaining and outlining all the focus points of Lucas's storyline. This whole thing hinges on Lucas getting into MI5 undetected, making his alias so airtight that no one ever figured it out......yet somehow a newbie agent with less than 5 minutes on the computer finds out the truth? Sorry but a quick little toss-over line is not an explanation, and at this point, it will never be satisfactory for me. As a writer myself, I'm disappointed at the story planning.
