Lindo was really good in that role, but I have to give the MVP to the woman who played his assistant. She was frighteningly good.
I would love to hear from Chicagoistas if Biels' accent was a good one. I certainly bought it.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
She's from Chicago, so... yeah. Some people in some parts of the city sound like that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Her accent sounded weird to me, but I certainly wouldn't know if it was authentic. It just wasn't one I was used to.

The melting pot in Chicago is still pretty chunky, so you have neighborhood pockets that retain things like some of those odd vowel sounds. I've really only encountered that accent a few times. I would say it's somewhat rare except that it's just as likely that I just don't spend any time in the neighborhoods where it exists.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I don't think I feel exactly bitter about either.
I think Chicago Code might have had a fairer shake. I certainly saw more advertisement for it.
I knew about Terriers because of us and then saw maybe one poster. No one I ever talked to about Terriers knew anything about it.
I'll accept that sometimes shows I really like are canceled but it's more painful when I think people didn't even know about the show that is then canceled.
I do like that all of these shows have had such a strong sense of place. Apparently I like it when the location matters. I didn't realize that before.
