Fanfiction
Everyone always uses Moonlighting as the evidence that RST ruins a show. I have problems with this, since, as much as I liked that show, to me the problem was that Maddie and David didn’t really like each other. Yes, they had incredible chemistry and were obviously were attracted to each other, but that was it. Once they had sex, there was no where for their relationship to go.
Not that I think Jacob and Rachel would end up in bed in a second season of EH. Over the course of season one you could see the growing friendship –… Continue reading
Omar Benson Miller
Omar Benson Miller as FBI Special Agent Felix Lee (Episodes 14-18) – introduced later in the series when he asks (although it is later discovered that he begged) to help Jacob Hood on a case. After solving the case, he asks to work with Hood full time, stating that the work they do is amazing. Felix is given the job and works as somewhat of a scout, helping out the team with heading to the location and gathering the material they need by the time Hood and Young get there. Though he likes the job, Felix feels underappreciated due to… Continue reading
Marley Shelton
Marley Shelton as FBI Special Agent Rachel Young – Hood’s handler. Though she is employed to protect his life, she has also said that her job is “to protect him from himself” – something he makes very difficult for her. Hood might annoy her from time to time but she does care about his well-being, viewing his many techniques with a kind of exasperated affection, though she is frequently embarrassed by and for him. Rachel mainly gets annoyed when he gets too caught up in an investigation and does something stupid, or when he does things like accidentally sit on… Continue reading
Rufus Sewell
Rufus Sewell as Dr. Jacob Hood – a science adviser to the FBI, called in to investigate crimes that may have a scientific explanation. Though Hood is extremely brilliant, he sometimes gets lost in his own thoughts, and this, coupled with his low attention span and poor social skills, causes him to be viewed as odd. He also has few instincts of self-preservation or danger, causing him to often do things that put his life in jeopardy, such as standing in front of a fleeing suspect’s car to get the license plate, something that frequently annoys Rachel. Additionally, he does… Continue reading
Quotes
I think one of my favorite moments is from ‘Surge.’ Rachel and Hood are waiting for the “entry specialist” so they can break into the lab. Rachel asks Hood how he got the job with the FBI. He tells her the story about how he and Frank became friends in college and his car that he modified to run on vegtable oil.I think this represents the first time that Rachel asks Hood a personal, non-case related question.
One of my favorite quotes is from ‘Subway.’ They have just figured out all the poison victims were in the same subway… Continue reading
