* CracksInTheIcyFacade: Dan Fielding is introduced as a self-interested jerk with a perverse streak a mile wide. Several episodes point to him having a hidden soft side, though. The first major example is when he falls in love with a wealthy but homely woman, and then decides he still wants to be with her when her father threatens to cut her off if she's with Dan. Unfortunately, she decides she can't live without the money, and leaves him. Over the course of the series he becomes a much more selfless and philanthropic person.

But later episodes emphasize his propensity to use his authority to coerce his colleagues to engage in activities on their private time, regardless of how much it inconveniences or otherwise annoys them. Dan even calls him out on this at one point, calling him a tyrant, and none of the gang disagree.
