[Spoilers for No Compromises]
If the schedule’s correct, you should be about to record your thoughts on the first episode of season five.
So take a moment to pity poor Tracey Scoggins, who had a very challenging job to do, and to admire her for succeeding. She had to introduce a completely new major character to a long-running show that’s wrapping up, which would have been tricky under any circumstances. But she was replacing Ivanova, a beloved character, and doing so in a problematic situation in which Claudia Christian had left for reasons that were murky at best. And the unfortunate truth is that SF fans are not always at their best about this sort of thing.
It is remarkable, really, that the character of Lochley was not received with immediate hostility from the show’s fanbase. And a good deal of the credit for that has to go to Scoggins’s assured performance.
