I totally agree. The Hulk-i-fication (nice word) was my biggest issue. It wasn't entirely un-interesting, but it looked so lousy and ugly - and the point of Hyde was not brutality but unbridled pleasure-seeking.

I also hated the things they did with the Nautilus - especially the whole Venice sub-plot. Do they honestly want me to believe that the freaking sub can travel through Venice and cut corners there? Bah!

But I liked the Quartermain/Sawyer father/son thing - and Mina and Dorian having history, that was well done too. :-)
