Ruining of a good run

This episode--only 1 of 2 episodes for the season, as it was cancelled--and what a mess it was. Title character unrecognizable in manner and temperament, miscasting (or just bad actors) for the secondary roles, awful direction & filming, & the music was jarring & totally out of place. The original writer had an interesting idea & character...but I wonder if the writer took a vacation, because this episode felt VERY off-key (the last episode of the 3rd season was only marginally better), except for the scene when Bramwell confronts a Sergeant Major in his office--both actors did a wonderful turn. Lastly, there wasn't any natural development of plot, of which there were multiple ones, when a single well-developed one would have sufficed.

This episode had a bit too much going on, & unfortunately most of it wasn't good. Disappointing mess.
