I also like any scene between her and Luke, because they get some of the most fun, truest-sounding dialogue on the show
This is so true! I am in awe of Luke's geekitude. He should get more screen time. Their interactions are the most fun.
It's interesting that Will first greets Lieut. Dave with a friendly "Hello, Michael," considering that we've never heard him use Lieut. Dave's first name before.
You know, you notice a lot of details that I just don't pick up on. Go you! But,yeah, that's what they were probably going for: bring them together, tear them apart.
And how does he know Will's presumably pre-Arcadian department history so well?
Policemen's communication chain is very well established. It's like high school gossip. I'm sure somebody knew somebody at Will's old PD and he called and they talked and now everybody in the new PD knows, too.
Dave'll be missed. And not just because he was pretty, since I doubt Will notices that as much as I do.
Hehe. But, yes, even if it was unethical, he will be missed.
Plus, I think she's pretty. Remember, I'm shallow. But if we're going to be losing Lieut. Dave, there's a new empty spot in the Pretty Lineup. We can't let Amber and Christopher do it all, right?
Dude, completely valid reasons. There is now a pretty vacuum. Somebody had to fill it. It's just a bonus that her character's interesting. I wouldn't get too excited over her recurring cast label, though. Remember, Erik Palladino had the smae one. ::sniff::
Adam's expression when Clay flirted with "Jane" (and got a response!) hurt to see. Oh Adam.
Don't you just want to take him home with you and make all the bad things go away? Poor, poor Adam. Every time Joan does something insensitive I just want to smack her because no one can be that oblivious.
I think he's just more sensitive to, and more careful about, the pain of others than the average teenager.
Exactly. Which is why when it's juxtaposed against Joan's utter lack of regard for other people's feelings, she ends up looking like a shrew. Seriously, they should just make an Adam show (Highlander, anyone?)
Clay doesn't like being told "no," either. He's known Joan for mere hours before he tries emotionally blackmailing her with his "like not hang out with you, Fisher" schtick.
Yeah, what self-respecting guy does that after just meeting someone? Yet another reason that Joan should have been immediately tipped off and it brings up yet more questions about her complete lack of people skills. Although, I suppose I shouldn't be bitching because if she were all sensitive and perfect I'd be screaming 'Mary Sue!' to anyone who'd listen. But still. She tends to see people as she wants to see them and not as they really are and I think this is what's going to continue to get her in trouble down the line (as it already has gotten her into trouble in the past).
But if she doesn't, God promptly turns into a seven-year-old.
LOL!! That's so true! But she is, after all, a teenager and the pestering mother routine probably is the only thing that would penetrate all the egomania anyway.
