Yah, Peter Dunlop character is just a little too dull, without her,
and for a change they didn't want to promote arm's length romance
between partners. But now what, is he going to moon endlessly over
her being taken by a virus, not much character action in that. Maybe
he'll fall in love with a series of hot babes who get killed off every
third episode, like red-shirts in TOS.
