Interestingly, though, while they may have changed the name of the
show, Jane still gets all the screen time, and the story continues to
be told from her point of view.  The convoluted storyline is just
stuffed with characters (most of which are played by relatively
expensive actors--OK, one less after Sunday night, but the witness to
all the rooftop folderol is supposed to become a recurring role).

That's the irony of the WB's whole promotional campaign.  They just
advertised the heck out of Travis Fimmel, and he's like this
second-tier character who pops up every once in a while.

She's Jane--Erm...what's his name again?
