With Numb3rs though, you can really see them hurting.
Yes, that's it's exactly! The SGA characters are a product of their states, while the Numbers characters are a product of their traits. That really does make all the difference. Thanks for crystallizing that for me. :)

Again to compare to SGA, how big of a joke is Kate Heitmeyer (or however you spell it)?
Oh, that drives me crazy. Honestly, I don't expect to see psychology represented accurately or well on television, but there's such potential on SGA. I've seen some excellent fics that include sessions with Heightmeyer and it works brilliantly. I'm biased, of course (that's my area of study), but there are several great ways it could be used on the show if Heightmeyer weren't so incompetent. But I try not to rant about it too much.

Well, to be fair, I don't think *she* specifically had him exiled.
Ah, I didn't know that! Every time I've seen it referenced, I've (incorrectly, obviously) interpreted it to mean that she personally had him exiled. It all makes more sense now. Kind of.

Also, I'm trying this quote thing out for the first time...
The quote thing -- I'm using the Firefox extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3903), actually, since LJ's quote function is useless. If it bugs you (it bugs some people -- something about too message boardy or something), let me know. I'm just trying to find ways to make LJ more easily readable since my vision sucks. :)
