Commander Lawrence is one of my favorite characters and Bradley's offering to him is nothing short of pure brilliance. I've long ired his work as one of my most favorite male actors, he's just great in everything he delves into. I hope he survives the end of the season and we see more of him in The Testament, I think it's important to try to keep some of your stronger characters if possible going into sequels. Just look at how many people stopped watching Grey's anatomy before they brought Ellen Pompao back for more frequent scenes? As far as the commander and his inner struggles ? He's really not a bad guy, he's the most likable commander and we see him trying to make amends from past mistakes. I believe he truly wants things to be as good as they can be but he's a true pragmatist. Even with his moments of having empathy, he keeps all of that in check with the reality of any giving situation. He'll push the envelope when he can but he doesn't get overly emotional over things like women being stuck in horrible places.

Love love loved the series, definitely would have liked to see it continue. I was most definitely disappointed with the premature ending of Alex , she was such an interesting character. I can't imagine you could have done better with casting? Her performance throughout was believable in every scene and her larger than life personality, captivating. You most definitely had an amazing cast for the short run. The crowing jewel Helen Mirren! I will always watch anything she's in and always have. I recently viewed 'Loosing Chase' again that was definitely a blast from the past if you're into exceptional performances . Bravo to 1923

Good question? Perhaps it's about the writing of the storyline and once the original thought is out ? It's finished? Maybe there should be some negotiation to leave these things open ended for other writers to pick up and continue? I could have definitely watched several more seasons of 1923 especially if they had allowed Alex to live?

The s&m stuff wasn't very indepth from what I gathered? I don't know much about it myself but I thought it was pretty tastefully done. They needed to show enough to give the audience a true understanding of how heartless and twisted the villain was. There wasn't a better way to do it than to show his pleasure in watching an innocent person's pain and suffering. I'm glad most of it was obvious damage after the fact and not us having to watch everything those women went through. I think we've gone overboard with the objectification of women in film, it's only adding to the real problem that exists in our world?
