Why is Will in the field so often if he's Chief of Police?
I was thinking this exact same thing! especially when the show has even said that the Chief's job is more political, he's still out there in the field hubbubbing with the guys. ::rolls eyes:: He needs to sit behind a desk and do some paperwork, yo. (Heh. I'm channeling Grace.)
(Non-critically, I was vastly amused when Mrs. Dead Cop called Lieut. Dave "Mikey." Aw, Mikey. He'll remain Lieut. Dave to me, though. It's a thing.)
I shall now admit how big of a nerd I am. I was so confused by this! I could have sworn that his name was actually Dave. Now I wonder where I could have gotten that impression from? ;)
Actually, I don't even like the name Mike/Mikey/Michael. I think they've named him badly. I'm heretofor adopting Dave as his new name. Which will end up confusing the hell out of someone, I can already tell.
Like Will and his cop plot, there was too much Kevin in this episode, and the cumulative effect of his constant angst, even after only four episodes, is draining.
Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes. You're nicer about it than I am, it seems, but yes. That's exactly it. It's too much all at once.
I love that he's still calling Joan "Jane," even though they share at least one class, they're friends outside of it, and he's spent time with her family. Does he sit there thinking, "Why is everyone calling Jane this weird name, yo?"
LOL. I can so see this. I love Adam, too. Adam's the best. He's quickly becoming one of my favorite characters ever, right up there with Methos, Lex, and Draco. Okay, he's not reached Methosian heights yet, be he has such potential.
I'm not going to quote your analysis of Joan's talent, becauseit would just take too much freakin' space, but I agreed with everything you said. It's a very balanced and fair look at the situation and a really good analysis of Joan in general. Nicely done.
