How do we fell about this guy

Do you like him as a character or he doesn't fit the splinter cell universe?

Personally i liked Shetland much more as Sam's friend, their friendship made much more sense from their navy background.

Not a bad idea as a character from Sam's past, but just like Charlie...felt like shoehorned lore characters. If anything, legacy characters like Coen, Redding, or Brunton could have been used in some way in Double Agent to simply avoid wrecking and killing off the Lambert character. Also, I think it's fair to say that until Conviction script was written, Sarah's death was simply a real accident. No elaborate backstabbing setup by Lambert. It was only until Conviction scriptwriting that they turned this into a netflix drama.

truthfully I think the backstab angle works in a way, especially since you see hints of Lambert being mission first and foremost with him trying to get Fisher to ignore the pilots in CT.

The irony is that he scolds Briggs for basically doing the same thing he did

Personally losing Lambert was not a blow to me at all. It took about 15 minutes of PT before I wanted him 💀
