While still having it's moments, this film is largely set on land, more specifically - in prison. Also there's a woman present, which isn't really what a Hornblower fan wants. The series should steer in the direction of sea battles and heroic acts, and keep it at that.

Again, a great chance for Hornblower to show off his stuff, but this time, it's more the honor of the man than the measure of the warrior.

Apollo out of Battlestar Galactica pops up here as well. No sign of Cylons. Avoid the urge to yell "Coffee" or "Nescafe" periodically.
