Tom Quinn and Lucas North both have tried to follow in their mentor and boss Harry Pearce's footsteps, but they soon realize that they want to follow their own path and be more like themselves than him. Harry's two prodigies have both strayed from the road that Harry had once envisioned for them, he has to deal with the fact that everything he wanted for them has fallen apart in front of his eyes.

First part of the song represents Tom's point of view, second part represents Lucas's point of view, and the chorus lines toward the end represents both Tom and Lucas's feelings.

Fantastic vid and great insight into the characters, out of curiosity what was your view on Adam Carter?

[BetaArtemis]

@fatblokesagas I like Adam, he was a great spy and probably the most normal one between him, Tom, and Lucas.

ok, disgraceful storyline I will absolutely agree to. Your video gives me lots more to think on. So bravo to you. It is frustrating to see how the writers took almost all of the characters to an unsatisfactory ending. Unsatisfactory because they each were heroic in action and thus we desire only the best for our heroes. What I meant in my first post was this: Lucas' last act was self-sacrifice,self-ending with no harm done to another-painful heroism to the end.

[BetaArtemis]

@margike100 It doesn't take away from the acting because God knows Richard Armitage and his fellow castmates gave it all for this, without the amazing performances, this storyline would be a complete disaster, but it doesn't change that half the writing made no sense and came out of nowhere and depended on a whole bunch of technicalities and coincidences that were far too far-fetched. Not that it matters now, Spooks is gone now, so whatever, shame messed up a character with so much potential.

[BetaArtemis]

@margike100 The disgrace is the storyline they decided to give him and nothing is going to convince me otherwise. The writers wanted a shock and awe and they got one with a storyline full of holes, so yes, this one will always be a disgrace. I love Lucas North, and frankly they gave him a sucky ending just for dramatics' sake.

[margike100]

@BetaArtemis yes, but he could have killed Harry and he didn't. He chose to end himself. I think Lucas began moving away from disgrace when he admitted his murder of the real Lucas North and the lie of a life he had been living (even though alot of his acts on that chosen path were heroic). What was his final act? Self-sacrifice. For me, this is no disgrace.

Great job comparing those two with their relationships to Harry. I am now rewatching the Tom episodes and I can see some of the similarities to Lucas. The song was an excellent choice!

[fatblokesagas]

@BetaArtemis cool :)

@TheBelle3009 Oh I was wrong, it's on OneRing.net, but I sent the link to the article in your message inbox.

Anyways, if you want to, I also have started a fanfic series for Spooks that's an alternative ending to Series 9. It's set after Episode 6 but takes off in a different direction. It's basically how I envisioned Lucas's storyline should be. It's on fanfiction(dot)net under my account "Apollo199199", it's also on the Spooks Forum.

[TheBelle3009]

@BetaArtemis Yes, brave people indeed! They deserve more acknowledgement (thougt that would be hard because the nature of their job), I surely respect people who do that kind of job!

I'm sorry, can't seem to find the site you're reffering to, I end up on some windenergymaking buisines(wich is also good, of course), but I really would like to see 'Richard/Thorin'. I must admit that I hardly know Martin Freeman, saw him once in 'Sherlock', but I'm sure he will also do great!
