Well, like you said "disgraced young academic" ... boy could have been put together like Vin Deisal and "disgraced young academic" probably still would have have had them comparing Will to Daniel, lol.

*nods* I think it was Isaac Assimov or Robert Heinlein who said "There are only five or six original ideas in all of science fiction." Execution really IS what matters because there aren't any original ideas ANYWHERE in the world any more.

*nods* Ashley WILL mouth off to her opponents, but you get the distinct impression that this is a part of her strategy. In no way does it indicate any lack of respect or gravity. And this is despite the fact that she's so confident in her ability to win that it REALLY shakes her when she has to admit to Henry about Druitt that "He moves faster than me. If that's even POSSIBLE." ... it freaks her out. But she still takes Druitt as a serious threat even though he's out cold and she doesn't think he's going to wake up any time this week, she still has him put in the SHU rather than GenPop because she recognizes that he's still a threat. So TOTALLY not flippant about her work.

You'll see, lol. It's scary but satisfying. Especially since i seriously spent the whole season fully believing that this chick was capable of snapping and going RENEGADE. Just not like THAT, 'cause DAMN...

:) Well, it's true. Helen Magnus is NOT so common...
