Random Numb3rs observation

[janedavitt]

Heh. Sorry for the pun ;-)

I just watched the early S2 episode with the Gabriel the Columbian film student being targeted for assassination (and living about two minutes from what was Garett Maggart's house which means he's a very rich film student but moving on).

My God, did he and Charlie ever have chemistry! I was tempted to rewind and watch their scenes again because, whew. They packed a whole relationship arc into that episode. Longing looks, sharing of angsty memories and personal thoughts, sitting side by side and just generally looking one inch from kissing.

Is there any fic? ::hopeful look::

And then I watched the one with the wedding in the garden and ate up the Charlie (13) and Don (18) fighting on the lawn over who gets to take the girl to the prom angst.

I got spoiled for the Colby twist (my own fault; I was wandering around sites and naturally this long after it's not a spoiler) but -- don't hate me -- I'm not getting the love for him yet. David, yes. I like David a lot though I'd like it if we had more backstory on him. Larry, I adore. Colby just seems like background. Megan's good, though I liked Terry too so I'm sorry the actress left.

I'd forgotten how much fun it is to mainline a show :-)

Colby just seems like background.

I think he kinda is at first, especially next to David because David is quite charismatic but, if I remember well, at some point, they make him a bigger part of the show (not talking about his specific story arc). I know his character grew on me.

I think the key to Colby is his appreciation for Charlie. You see that grow, and with it your own appreciation of Colby grows. At least, that's how it worked with me. *g*

The scenes where he stands in the doorway just watching Charlie are very marked. I'm intrigued and curious :-)
