Richard Brooks
I don't suppose Detective Ehrle's first name is Jubal, is it?
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
So how exactly is "Ehrle" pronounced?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, the Ehrle thing is cracking me up.
I don't know how intentions can put anyone in danger. The only person responsible for Rebecca was Rebecca.
Intentions can absolutely put someone in danger--whether it's the intention of your boss, or the intention of your partner in the field. You can start with incomplete or inaccurate information shared (for some motive or the other)...and, hell, the intentions of the guy with the gun that's supposed to have your back? Can spell life or death.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Absolutely. The first episode set the dynamic up for me; Web put her directly in place with the suspect without telling her. Now, in many ways it was a smart move as it got the man -- but it's also a shit thing to do to your employee, and it could have gone wrong. If I had been Becky, I'd be pissed off.
That said, I saw a lot of things from Paul's point of view. Yes, I know, nobody likes Paul -- but I did.
And yes, Tim, I know you made it all up :o)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
And I'm told a certain group of fans of one of Tim's recent shows will find a surprise toward the bottom of the list.
Cool! I was actually not a Jubal fan at first, but he grew on me a little, and a friend of mine LOVES him, so this will make her want to watch even more.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Cool for Richard Brooks in the cast!
(Although there is part of me that is bemused that he's playing a cop, given his role on Law & Order all those years ago. Which he reprises on the ep re-airing this coming Friday)

edited -- forget it, I'm crazy, I'm confusing him with James McDaniel, who was in NYPD Blue.

It's not that I'm the only one, it's that I'm the honest one.
The Futon Critic is now saying April 9th as the premiere date.

But still in that nice time slot, so good!
Hey, wait, I think I may be out of town that weekend. But I assume my hotel will have Fox.
Ah, no, it's the weekend after.

The actions people take can. But intentions aren't actions. I don't care what goes on inside the black box, y'know?
Yes, I know, nobody likes PaulI'm pretty sure lots of people liked him here. And then there were a few right-thinking people.
