I'm not really sure that grown up Lucky with JJ in the role can ever really work as a character, given how dark they made Luke and how peripheral they made Laura. The happy family we saw JJ grow up in was a total lie. They should have killed off Lucky for real in 1999 or never recast, bringing back JJ's Lucky in 2009 with no history of how his character had been demeaned from 2000-2009. Or never bring back JJ and stay with the demeaned recast.
I don't think Ethan ever really worked as a character either. He was rendered superfluous once JJ came back as Lucky. I feel like his whole stint was about Luke telling Ethan how cool he was, but we never really saw it. Maybe we'll finally see it this time? Ethan has no vets to hide behind now.
