Torben, my favorite character in season 3

So far in season 3, Torben is the most interesting and best-written character. It's great to see him try to deal with that pr*ck Alex, deal with problems at home and everything. I'm not saying he's a great person, but as a character he's more life-like and interesting than the others. I'm glad he has quite a bit more screen time this season.

It's nice to see writers who can display a character's weaknesses without making him look pathetic, or evil, or just plain stupid. American TV writers should take a lesson.

Never be complete.

The actor playing Alex was brilliant. A great role to play. I loved his scenes in his office with Torben when Torben is slipping all over the ubër-modern chairs. He always tried to keep Torben off edge.
