JMS tried SO HARD to get us to like Lochley; it was over the top.
I understand why they thought they needed to: they were, after all, giving us a new character in place of someone who was much beloved (by me at any rate and that is surely all that matters. :p)
But it's having the opposite effect on me. It seems like everytime she says anything someone goes 'oh that Lochley, she's so gutsy and competent.' I imagine a scene soon where she will buy coffee and a random character will say 'Wow! Look at how she orders coffee! You can tell she's a great officer.' Also she seems to have huge amounts of screen time because they're trying to push the character and it just doesn't seem that natural. Does the woman ever sleep? Is her constant wakefulness the reason for her unreasonable crankiness?
