the reason for her stereotypical weak-woman behavior is revealed, she gets over it, and the series gets awesome
I suspect a lot of people don't get past that point, which is a pity, because for once a show was actually Going Somewhere With That, and viewed as an overall arc it completely works. As for me, Idunno, maybe it's the writer in me, but I twigged to what was going on for her character the very first time I saw the other party to it, so maybe I was willing to cut the writers a bit more slack to see if they were really going to follow up on it. It will be interesting to see what you think of season two -- it's kind of uneven, but there are several moments of complete bonkers Awesome... (including, unfortunately, one that didn't even make it to the BBCA version which I suspect is a US rights issue and thus probably not on the DVDs as well, talk to me when you get to 2.5 ;) .)
