And while I thought she was lacking, I don't understand why she's getting hammered and Stephen Moyer is not getting it as much. He's the reason we turned it off. I found him painful to watch (and I enjoy him on "True Blood.")

I'm with you. Whatever her problems, she was at least clearly and visibly attempting to connect with the character's goals and with the other performers? I realize that the Captain is an underwritten role and a character who generally keeps some distance from other people, but he was simply awful, giving a totally phony, seemingly unfelt surface performance that didn't even present a polished surface. Underwood seemed like Kim Stanley in the acting department by comparison.

He had all the depth of the cardboard soldier in SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE.

100% agreed; what's his excuse? A trained stage actor. He was at sea with the role and the production, and played one note the entire evening. It was startlingly monotonous.
