Well, it didn't help that Torres didn't seem terribly concerned with characterization. I mean, for the most part it probably would have been okay if the burden of all that nonsense was off it, but I still can't get over Cissie in uniform. Just go ahead and demolish Cissie's entire storyarc and kill half the point of the Cissie-Cassie friendship in one casual stroke, why don't you.
