[spoilers] Sir Harry Pearce - Return of the Jedi (#3)

[JHyde]

Nicely put, Silktie. I would only add that I think Peter's role was expanded simply because they realised just what sort of an actor they had on their hands and expanded the role pretty quickly after that.

One of my favourite episodes for Harry is the season 1 finale and PF plays it all so beautifully, with a number of very fine lines that have defined the character since then. I think they made some mistakes with the Harry of season 2, but since then they've done an admirable job of staying pretty true to several ideals for the man. A consistency that has been missing, on occasion, for other characters.
