   :   
   	Understood. I was specifically complaining about the point   
       when the writers/producers/somebody decided to take the whole   
       show in a completely new direction, and used a mistake returning   
       the whatever critters as the excuse/opportunity to execute   
       the 180.

   : it came to dispatching its leads.   
   :   
   	I can understand Helen Cutter being off'd - but then, we sort   
       of knew she was going to come to a bad end eventually, right?   
      
   	I never considered Stephen Hart (doesn't see right - I am   
       thinking of Cutter's grad assistant that was screwing Helen on   
       the sly) a "lead". And, again, how long was he going to be able   
       to keep everything up in the air?   
      
   	As for Dr. Cutter, did Henshall quit because of the changes   
       to the show that led to the Claudia Brown/Jennifer Lewis shift?   
       I tend to think so, since I wasn't happy with there the show was   
       going after that point. I believe when he was made subservient to   
       James Lester from the Home Office that the Dr. Cutter character   
       was made very limited. I could see Henshall not liking the changes/   
       limits to his character.   
      
   	But, I did like how Ben Miller portrayed Lester. :-)
