What I'd like to suggest is work though the episodes, one at a time, starting with Cross Jurisdictions and working all the way up to Lost Son, and looking at Speeds character, and how he evolves, little things we notice/learn about his character along the way. Kind of a timeline of sorts.
What do you say?
I like this idea.
We hadn't really learned
too much about him (at least not as much as Calleigh and Horatio at the time) but when we did, they were always cute little quirks to the character.
I'm not sure if anyone wants to organize this in a specific way but I think 'Cross-Jurisdictions' is definitely a good starting point.
What I noticed about him in 'Cross-Jurisdictions' is it seemed like he was supposed to be a bit of a hypochondriac, geeky type. (ie: The scene with Speed and Delko in the canal and the discovery of the gun)
Also, I got the impression he was supposed to be more of a light-hearted joker rather than the serious grump we had later on. For example, looking back at the hot chick that walked past him in his first scene, then smiling at Catherine after meeting her and then cracking the "he had his head phone on and his little tie" joke in a certain way. He also joked around with Horatio a bit in the lab about the club and with Delko as he was going into the canal to search for the vehicle.
Is it just me or were they molding him to be the Greg Sanders of the team? :lol: He definitely wasn't very serious for most of that episode and it was kind of neat to see what the writers wanted him to be at first.
I'll move onto 'Golden Parachute' from here to keep it rolling. Some things I noticed in this episode were:
-Little more serious.
-The first one to be introduced with Megan Donner, the 'newcomer' after the Pilot. So at this point, we learned he was close with Megan.
-He had a little more of an accusatory attitude in my eyes when he remarked about the rifle in the fishers' boat. Ie: He may be in danger later on of assuming what something meant in a case because it seemed obvious before actually listening to the evidence.
So feel free to add onto both these episodes -- just so we have a little more to discuss.
(Hopefully this is sort of what
Megan had in mind.
)

This is weird, but every time I watch American Idol, I see Rory Cochrane in the opening sequence. For those familiar, there's this CGI guy and girl who walk up the stage and then look at each other. The shot of the CGI guy looking at the girl looks exactly Rory Cochrane to me. I literally think about it every time I see the opening.
I hadn't noticed this, I'll have to keep an eye out when I watch American Idol next week. :lol:
