Biceps and a conscience can be a powerful combo.
...that actually summarises a rather wide swathe of the fictional men I go

over.

Well, no - there are also funny and the geeky. But the biceps-and-conscience crowd are certainly scrumptious.
This opening ep is sounding v. positive! Yay!
(Seska, I don't know about
Law and Order: UK -
from what I remember, they basically invented an AU Justice System, since our own doesn't mesh with the way things work in the US, upon which the structure of the show hinges, so...possibly not worth watching if you're mostly TV-avoidant? But, fwiw, I have a real soft spot for the
Horatio Hornblower
series, in which you can admire Jamie Bamber playing Hornblower's adorably puppyish, heroic (and epileptic) BFF Archie, who, other than possessing (secret) biceps and a conscience, is pretty much the anti-Apollo.

I don't like Adelle's new haircut. It makes her look far less scary-authority person and too vulnerable.
I don't like it either. The long hair was sexier. And the stuff you said too.

Is that maybe the point? After Epitaph One, I think we're meant to be moving towards sympathising with her. This is going to take some hardcore writing to effect, of course. She doesn't seem to have a single sympathetic character trait at the moment.

UK TV-avoidant, that is. I love me some American TV. Hmm, maybe I'll see if I can find the Hornblower thing sometime. Bamber is a pretty pretty boy.
Thanks, Fay! (Looks like he's good in that. But it doesn't appear to have aliens, time travel, spaceships or vampires in it, so I'm not likely to love it. Well, unless I missed something in the background, or another episode features the famous late eighteenth-century attempted invasion of Bristol by Martians.)

Yeah, I definitely think she's being written more sympathetically, especially with the line about the Dollhouse helping Rossum's "important research." We're meant to believe she really does have the best intentions.
After Epitaph 1, I'm not sure how much we really can sympathize though.
It got the lowest ratings to date. Hopefully the next round of advertising will have, I don't know, the right date and time on them.
