Who would you like to see as the new undersheriff? (NO spoilers!)

I picked "Other/someone new" only because while I like the others in the list, if they need to fall back on someone being the bad guy, jerk, I would rather it be someone new who comes in with the attitude. I mean we knew Eckley was a jerk, therefore his attitude with his promotion wasn't a big surprise. But the others in the list didn't seem the type to be the hard headed jerk, or the nicey nicey person.

Brass would be great for the job don't get me wrong, but he didn't like the stress that came with heading CSI, he certainly has made comments about the job he has now as Captain is stressful but not overly so. Sofia would be nice to see again but she got close (while not to close) with the team and would kind of be hard seeing her have to come down on them. The others would be going from Sgt, or Det. straight into undersheriff to big a leap in promotion, considering we haven't seen them in what seems like a million year.

Personally I hope whoever is brought in doesn't have the Eckley/Mckeen attitudes, but yet isn't nicey nicey either, kind of down the middle I won't take crap, but unless you deserve it I won't give it. This way we may never have to see them. :lol:

 

What qualifications are required to become an undersheriff?

 

I voted for Sophia, I think she would do a great job. At the same time though, I wouldn't mind seeing someone new.. So either way is good with me. I just really liked Sophia, and wish she was around more.

 

I second that :drool:
And Vartann is not a crooked cop and wouldn't go on the take. He's straight-forward and genuine and that's why he'd make a good undersheriff.

But, I almost think someone else would be a good storyline. Sort of like the new CSI. A fresh face so to speak. Someone that would be on the good side of the law and that wouldn't second guess the CSI's or detectives.

 

I would love to see Sofia Curtis come back as undersheriff.

McKaine once told her that she was going places in the department (Big Shots) but he is such a snake he probably said it to get into her pants.

 

Like Wojo I'd love to see Sofia back. But that's only wishful thinking (unfortuanately). And I remember that moment from Big Shots. Yeah, I think like you in this point too.

My second choice is someone new. It's easy for me too see other person there. Maybe Vartann too? Hmmm...

 

I'm confused about Brass looking for the undersheriff replacement.
Wasn't the undersheriff Brass' superior? So if he was a higher rank, why should be Brass the one choosing the new one? I guess it should be the sheriff who should be looking for the undersheriff replacement instead.

 

Brass reports directly to the sheriff. The Undersheriff is most likely a peer, meaning he's the same level as Brass, just with a different, more administrative function. In the episode, Redrum, Brass chews the US a new one for not doing his job. If he was Brass's superior, I doubt he would have taken it the way he did.

 

I'd like to see Vartann or Vega get the job. They are both such awesome detectives.

 

Brass would report to the Undersheriff. They wouldn't be equals. Now since CSI doesn't use the Assistant Sheriff's, on the show they would report directly to the Undersheriff.

Anyways, this is the structure of the LVMPD (even if the show does leave off the 'M') The bolding is mine.
