It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

In the later seasons Forest Whitaker is an IA agent going after the Strike Team. People asked him how it was to play a villain and he was all, “What are you talking about? I’m the GOOD GUY!”

To be fair, that was also his character's POV.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Mark Sheppard Syndrome.

Isn't he usually a bad guy, though? Leverage and possibly Warehouse 13 being notable exceptions.

I couldn't watch "The Shield" because I could never feel sympathy for the "heroes". I was always rooting for them to get caught and to get their self-righteousness kicked in the teeth.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yikes, cougar shot and killed around the corner from Chez Panisse. That's Berkeley, within a couple blocks of the JCC Emmett used to go to.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Isn't he usually a bad guy, though?

Upon reflection, yes. I should have called it Sterling Syndrome because I was really thinking of that character specifically.

He certainly played two very bad people on the Silk Stalking eps I in no way admit to watching on Hulu.

Okay, just got an all-desks email saying that none of our staff works in that Discovery building (it's a big campus), and that they've been evacuated.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yikes, cougar shot and killed around the corner from Chez Panisse.

Yikes is right! Also? Yummmm... I could so go for a Peets coffee and a visit to the Cheese Board right now.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It was right behind my friend's apartment.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Man holds hostages at Discovery TV building

Lee appears to have posted environmental and population-control demands online, saying humans are ruining the planet and that Discovery should develop programs to sound the alarm.

“I want Discovery Communications to broadcast on their channels to the world their new program lineup and I want proof they are doing so. I want the new shows started by asking the public for inventive solution ideas to save the planet and the remaining wildlife on it,” the alleged manifesto reads, adding:"Nothing is more important than saving ... the Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Elephants, Froggies, Turtles, Apes, Raccoons, Beetles, Ants, Sharks, Bears, and, of course, the Squirrels. The humans? The planet does not need humans.”
