Lorelai Gilmore – GILMORE GIRLS = 40

Lorelai Victoria Gilmore was born to Emily and Richard Gilmore in Hartford, Connecticut. Her life growing up was complicated due to an overbearing, neurotic mother and a workaholic father, who both expected Lorelai to live in their world of wealth and privilege. Lorelai is a highly talkative, free-spirited woman, a child of the eighties and part of the MTV generation. Her parents had her future all planned out and arranged for her to come out to society after her sixteenth birthday, but Lorelai was always rebellious and resentful of her structured, sheltered and silver spoon upbringing. She became pregnant with Christopher Hayden and left home shortly after Rory's birth, to create her own, independent life suited to her personality and wishes.


A Bit of Trivia

• Lorelai was named after her paternal grandmother, Lorelai "Trix" Gilmore
• Her favourite song in Junior High was Shadow Dancing.
• Her favourite band in high school was the Bangles. Another favourite band was The Go-Go's.
• According to the Season One DVD trivia book, Lorelai Gilmore is 5 feet 8 inches tall, but the actress portraying her, Lauren Graham is slightly taller than this at 5 feet 9 inches tall. Chelsea Brummet, who played the young Lorelai, is 5 feet 4 inches tall. Lorelai's feet are size nine.
• Her favourite flowers are yellow daisies.
• She went through a Flashdance phase.
• She broke her leg while attempting a headstand in yoga class when she was roughly around the age of 29.
• She almost named Rory Susanna after her love of the Bangles.
• As a baby she had a big head. ("My first complete sentence was 'Big Head want dolly").
• She burnt all of her baby pictures because of her big head. However, at least one still remains, as evidenced when Rory found a picture of Lorelai after she had been baptized.

Tyrion Lannister – GAME OF THRONES = 43

Lord Tyrion Lannister is the youngest child of Lord Tywin Lannister and younger brother of Cersei and Jaime Lannister. A dwarf, he uses his wit and intellect to overcome the prejudice he faces. He is the current Lord of Casterly Rock and Hand of the King to Brandon Stark.

Tyrion's mother, Joanna Lannister, died giving birth to him, a tragedy for which Tywin and Cersei unfairly blame Tyrion for.

Tyrion is mocked for being a dwarf, called derisive names such as "Imp" and "Halfman", which he tries to embrace to keep his self esteem up. Had an infant with dwarfism like Tyrion been born a commoner, he'd have been left in the woods to die; luckily, his birthright as a Lannister afforded him significant wealth and power.

When Tyrion was sixteen, he interrupted the attempted rape of a wheelwright's daughter. While Jaime dispatched the attackers, Tyrion helped the girl, named Tysha, recover. They later became lovers and got married in secret. When Lord Tywin learned what had happened, he payed Tysha, a prostitute, to service every one of his guards while Tyrion watched. Jaime confessed he had orchestrated the attack to help Tyrion lose his virginity.

While two siblings occupied positions of power, Tyrion was put in charge of the sewers at Casterly Rock when he turned of age.

Tyrion spent a lot of time at court in King's Landing to avoid his father. He got on well with Jaime, his niece Myrcella and nephew Tommen, but had a colder relationship with Cersei and the psychopathic Joffrey. Tyrion is committed to the good of both his House, and since Cersei married King Robert Baratheon, his family's hold on the throne

Elizabeth Bligh - A PLACE TO CALL HOME / Rob Lake – BODIES / David Budd – THE BODYGUARD / DI Alec Hardy – BROADCHURCH / Bette Davis – FEUD / Annalise Keating – HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER = 44





Elizabeth Bligh



It's the family or her. What do you choose?

Elizabeth Bligh is the wealthy matriarch of the Bligh Family. She is the mother of George Bligh and Carolyn Bligh, grandmother of James Bligh and Anna Poletti, and great-grandmother of Georgie Bligh. She is also the grandmother-in-law of Gino Poletti and Olivia Bligh.




Rob Lake


Bodies is a British television medical drama produced by Hat Trick Productions for the BBC. Created by Jed Mercurio, the series first broadcast on 23 June 2004, and is based on Mercurio's book of the same name. The series is centred on specialist registrar Rob Lake (Max Beesley), who starts in a new post in the Obstetrics and gynaecology department at the fictional South Central Infirmary, under the guidance of consultant obstetrician Roger Hurley (Patrick Baladi).

The series differed from most other archetypal British hospital dramas, in that the surgical scenes were notable for their graphic nature, offering intimate detail of various procedures, and the operational complications dealt with in explicit detail. As a result, the themes were also often dark and depressing, including negligence, manipulation and death. Bodies has been described as a "dark, sometimes funny" take on a genre that had been made popular through shows such as Casualty and Holby City. In December 2009, The Times ranked Bodies in ninth place in its list of "Shows of the Decade", and in January 2010, The Guardian ranked Bodies number twenty of "The Greatest Television Dramas of All Time"







David Budd

A Helmand veteran, David hides the psychological scars from his time in the army behind a cool and forceful demeanour, but the cracks show at home, where he is separated from his beloved wife Vicky and their two children. Mistrustful of politicians, especially those who voted in favour of the conflict in the Middle East, David is ambivalent about his ‘step-up’ to protect the Home Secretary – Julia Montague. Torn between dedication to his job and his political ideals, and prone to volatile behaviour, he must decide where his loyalties truly lie.





DI Alec Hardy

Detective Inspector Alec Hardy is an experienced detective who recently arrived in Broadchurch, wanting a quiet life due to his scandal-tinged work history. He has difficulty dealing with Danny Latimer's murder because of his involvement in the failed Sandbrook murder case. He is the ex-husband of Tess Henchard and the father of Daisy Hardy. Known for lacking social skills which earn him the nickname "Shit-face," Alec Hardy trusts his own instincts and has impressive levels of dedication to his cases.





Bette Davis

The premise behind FX and Ryan Murphy's latest anthology series, Feud, is so deceptively simple that it's hard to believe it hasn't already been done. Each season will see Murphy and his co-producers focus on a different famous feud—much as each season of American Crime Story tackles a real-life crime—and it's already clear that the first set of eight episodes, subtitled Bette and Joan, will be a very tough act to follow.

The rivalry between silver-screen icons Bette Davis and Joan Crawford is the stuff of legend, a decades-long battle sparked by both professional and personal resentments and fueled by an industry that loved nothing more than to see its women tear each other apart. Much of their fighting played out as back-and-forth sniping in the tabloids, though Crawford was always less openly hostile than Davis, whose iconic burns include the classic: "[Crawford] slept with every male star at MGM—except Lassie."




Annalise Keating

Annalise Harkness, Esq (formerly Keating), born Anna Mae, is one of the main characters of How to Get Away with Murder.

Annalise is a self-sufficient and confident woman. She seemed to have a perfect life and was respected for being a great lawyer and a great criminal law professor, whom her students both fear and admire. Annalise is a woman with two faces; one of them, a strong woman, that she shows the world, while the other, a sentimental and destroyed human being, was shown to Nate and Wes.

After the death of her husband Sam Keating at the hands of Wes Gibbins and the rest of the Keating 5, Annalise chooses to protect Wes, who she has a history with, and do everything in her power to move forward. But as they say, no good deed goes unpunished. That wouldn't be the last time Annalise would cover up a murder, and as the bodies keep piling up, the FBI and D.A.'s office suspects her more and more. Through critical decisions, betrayal, more death, and secrets coming out, Annalise continues to project the powerful woman she is onto the corrupt cycle that is Philadelphia's law enforcement.



A Bit of Trivia

• In an original version of the "Pilot" script, her name was Annalise DeWitt.

• On the ABC website, Annalise is described as "everything you hope your Criminal Law professor will be – brilliant, passionate, creative and charismatic. She's also everything you don't expect – sexy, glamorous, unpredictable and dangerous. As fearless in the courtroom as she is in the classroom, Annalise is a defense attorney who represents the most hardened criminals – people who've committed everything from fraud to arson to murder. Annalise seems like she has it all – a successful career and a loving husband, Sam – but soon she will be forced to confront secrets about her life she never saw coming."

• She went to Harvard Law School with Eve Rothlo.

• Her character has been mentioned in the show called Scream Queens.

• She is from Memphis, Tennessee. ("Anna Mae")

• Annalise also had a strong son like relationship with Wes Gibbins.

• She owns many wigs. She is rarely seen without wearing one of her wigs until the second half of the sixth season,.

• Saying this, it was shown that Annalise grew her hair out as she cut it off when she was in prison half way through season 3. She then grew it out again towards the end of season 3. However, after season 3 and before season 4, she must have cut her hair off again and restarted wearing wigs as her short hair is briefly shown when she is writing the Keating 4 their letters.

• Viola Davis says she has "created a past" for Annalise that helps her keep track of her character with a plan's motivations. "I don't [always] have the benefit of seeing the script in advance but I do feel that there are certain characters Annalise feels that she has a pure relationship with — Nate and Wes — and those characters are kind of sacred."

• Viola Davis helped create the character of Annalise and formulate the character's backstory.

• Annalise was initially shown to be pee shy as shown by her reluctance to use the toilet in front of her cellmates until she ultimately had to give in and do as shown in the episode We're Bad People. By the time of It's for the Greater Good she is seemingly able to go with her parole officer still in the stall with her albeit turned around as her cellmate offered to do.

Victoria Grayson – REVENGE = 46

Victoria Harper (formerly Victoria Grayson) (born June 11, 1958 - Summer 2014) was the main antagonist of Revenge. Formally considered by many as "the Queen of the Hamptons", with a net worth of $3.94 billion, Victoria Grayson was the glamorous, but powerful former matriarch of the Grayson family, who would stop at nothing to protect her social status and ensure that her children live up to their fullest potential. She was the arch-nemesis of Amanda Clarke, who held her responsible for the destruction of her father and her life.



A Bit of Trivia

• It's strongly implied that Conrad and Victoria had an affair when he was still married to his first wife. Victoria then lied about being pregnant to marry him.
• Ironically, she had a affair with David Clarke when she learns years later that Conrad was sleeping with Lydia. She filed for divorce along citing irreconcilable differences, stating David was the only man she ever loved.
• Although Victoria loved David, she never extended that love to his daughter. After framing David, she institutionalized Amanda and bribed Michelle Banks to poison Amanda's mind about David. In season 1 when Victoria heard that "Amanda" is back in town she does nothing but treat her with contempt, and later in season 2 she helped Conrad frame her for the murder of Helen Crowley. In season 3 when she found out Emily really is Amanda, she still shows no compassion or remorse, but instead hurts Emily even more by killing Aiden, her fiance. When David Clarke returns, she even paints Emily as an enemy, knowing she is his daughter.
• Victoria calls her father-in-law Edward Grayson "dad" although he is Conrad's father and not hers. She actually seems to have a better relationship with him than Conrad.
• Despite the fact that both Victoria and her ex-husband (and her number one co-conspirator) Conrad were murdered by the same person (David Clarke) her death has some differences with that of Conrad's; when Conrad realized that he was going to die, he accepted his fate and did nothing to stop it, and as a result he died in a honorable way. Victoria on the other hand, used her last breath to shoot her nemesis and David's daughter, Amanda in the back and that resulted in her dying in disgrace.
• At the end, Victoria suffers the same fate that she and Conrad planned for David; as she was betrayed by everyone which lead to her demise.
• Despite the fact that David murdered Victoria, he avoids prison time; due to his terminal diagnosis, also, as far as the people of the Hamptons are concerned; Victoria was nothing but a monster who got exactly what she deserved.
• It was revealed that Victoria's father raped her when she didn't know who he was.
• Victoria is the only main female character to be killed off.

Dexter Morgan – DEXTER / June Osborne – THE HANDMAID’S TALE = 48

Dexter Morgan



He is an elusive serial killer in Miami, known as "The Bay Harbor Butcher," who targets and kills other murderers. His detailed method of killing allows him to avoid the justice system by getting rid of any potential evidence.

The irony of Dexter's life is that he works closely and affably with homicide detectives and a forensic specialist. Dexter, himself a blood spatter analyst, collects, processes, and interprets evidence for the Miami Metro Police Department. He often uses his ability to access police databases or tamper with evidence for his personal advantage.

By survival, Dexter is the most successful serial killer in the series.



A Bit of Trivia

• Dexter re-named his fishing boat from Slice of Heaven to Slice of Life in reference to him using knives.
• Victims that Dexter buries at sea are often reported as missing persons.
• Dexter jokingly mentions to Rita Bennett on their first date that he is an axe murderer. ("My Bad")
• Both Dexter's first and last (known) victims are females (Nurse Mary and Debra).
• Dexter’s blood type is AB negative.
• Animals do not like Dexter, especially dogs.
• Dexter inherited his watch from Harry.
• Harry set up college funds for Dexter and Debra.
• While Dexter attended medical school, he killed an associate professor. (per Early Cuts)
• Dexter prefers to kill with knives instead of guns because it is more "intimate."
• Hurricane Laura shares its name with Dexter's biological mother, Laura.
• Dexter’s original marina, Coral Cove, is the same one where Harry had a slip.
• Dexter hides a getaway pack inside his bedroom wall (cash, burner phones, passports w/aliases).
• The killing of a mosquito in the opening theme song symbolizes Dexter's killing of a bad person.
• The Dexter TV series and the Dexter Novels have many differences regarding plots and villains.
• Dexter's role was possibly inspired by Miami's 1986 vigilante serial killer, Manuel Pardo. Pardo was an ex-Miami police officer who in 1986 killed at least nine drug dealers. As trophies, he had photos instead of blood slides. Pardo was executed in 2012 by lethal injection.
• Dexter's phone number as of Season Eight is (305)-744-3078, which was used for Zoey Kruger and also Dexter's realtor. Calling the number results in a voice saying, "I'm sorry, but this number's not programmed to take messages."
• While Dexter does kill murderers who are likely to kill again, it's not out of the goodness of his heart, nor is it to make the world a better place. Dexter simply thinks that it's better, as well as safer, to kill criminals instead of innocents. (per Jeff Lindsay)
• Throughout Season Eight, Dexter is referred to as a psychopath by Evelyn Vogel. Viewers have debated if she was correct for several reasons which include:
• In his early life, Dexter was a happy, normal kid before witnessing his mother's brutal murder.
• When his wife, Rita Morgan, was murdered by Arthur Mitchell, he felt limited emotions like sadness and frustration, ending in a rage murder of Rankin. He also felt sadness when his adoptive sister, Debra Morgan, died from a blot clot after she was shot by Oliver Saxon.







June Osborne

June Osborne, formerly referred by her patronymic Offred #2 and later Ofjoseph #4, is the main protagonist of The Handmaid's Tale (TV series). She is a woman in her 30s who was forced to serve as a Handmaid in the early years of Gilead, due to the fact she is still capable of bearing children. She is the wife of Luke Bankole and the mother of a young daughter, Hannah. She is portrayed by Elisabeth Moss.

June is a little different from her book's counter part. She is more outspoken and rebellious. She is beloved by friends and family and she has a sweet heart. She has a special relationship and temperament with both of her children, Hannah and Nichole. She treats them with love, care and kindness.

With the Waterfords and in Gilead, June is forced to be a lot more direct, ruthless, brave, and protective. She protects the women and people around her when she can and she tries to stick up for herself and others, especially with the Waterfords and Aunt Lydia.

John Locke – LOST = 51

John Locke is a fictional character played by Terry O'Quinn on the ABC television series Lost. He is named after the English philosopher of the same name. In 2007, O'Quinn won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his portrayal of Locke.



Locke is introduced in the first season as a mysterious, intellectual and stoic character with an affinity for living out in the wild and a penchant for hunting and tracking. He believes in mystical and spiritual explanations for why things happen on the island due to a self-described "miracle" happening to him after the crash of Oceanic 815. His stoicism and mystical outlook dominate his character and are the basis for many of his relationships and interactions on the show.

John Locke was born to teenager Emily Locke on May 30, 1956. In his early years he showed extreme promise in his intelligence. After being placed in government care as a ward of the state he found himself in a variety of foster homes. He was visited in one such home by Richard Alpert (Nestor Carbonell), who described Locke as "extremely special". Locke had a number of foster siblings over the years: Jeannie, who died as a child when she fell off of a set of monkey bars; Melissa, who was prone to bullying John; and an unnamed brother with whom Locke played the game Mouse Trap.

At age 16, Locke's high school teacher freed him from a locker and took him to his office, and kindly told him that being a sportsman, prom king, and a superhero were simply not who he was. Locke angrily replied "Don't tell me what I can't do!". It is implied here that Locke disliked being put down more than being physically bullied. The phrasing of Locke imploring figures in his life both in the show's present and in his character's past was used repeatedly throughout the series

David Fisher – SIX FEET UNDER / Richard Hillman – CORONATION STREET = 54


David Fisher

David James Fisher is a fictional character played by Michael C. Hall on the HBO television series Six Feet Under. The character is the middle child of three and is a third-generation funeral director. Initially, the character is portrayed as socially conservative (and possibly politically so), dutiful to his family, emotionally repressed, and conflicted about his homosexuality. Over the course of the series, he faces struggles and triumphs both personally and professionally. His most significant challenges are related to keeping his funeral home in business, navigating his relationship with Keith Charles, surviving being carjacked, and coping with the death of his father. By the show's end, he reconciles his religious beliefs, personal goals, and homosexuality, and he and Keith settle down. They adopt two children: eight-year-old Anthony and 12-year-old Durrell. The series finale and official HBO website indicate that Keith is murdered in a robbery in 2029, and that David at some point finds companionship with Raoul Martinez, with whom he remains until David's death at the age of 75.



Critics have cited David Fisher as the first realistic portrayal of a gay lead male character on television, and the character is popularly regarded as one of the most beloved of the series. Michael C. Hall was widely praised for his portrayal of the character, and was nominated for and won major awards as a result





Richard Hillman

The character's story arc began with Richard appearing in Weatherfield for the funeral of his late cousin, Alma Baldwin (Amanda Barrie) – following her recent death from cervical cancer a couple days prior. He thereupon meets Alma's closest friend, Gail Platt (Helen Worth), and they proceeded to establish a relationship that ultimately led to the pair getting married a year later on 26 July 2002. By that year, however, it had transpired that Richard withholds a homicidal streak – which is thoroughly explored outside his marriage with Gail as he strives to maintain his financially bankrupt property company, "Kellett Holdings". This involves Richard leaving his business partner Duggie Ferguson (John Bowe) to die after the latter ends up having a fatal accident; murdering his ex-wife Patricia (Annabelle Apsion) with a shovel when she attempts to expose his fraudulent dealings; clashing with Gail's former ex-husband Martin (Sean Wilson) after upsetting their young son, David (Jack P. Shepherd), for going on his laptop without permission; forming a business partnership with fellow entrepreneur Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson); swindling neighbors Jack Duckworth (Bill Tarmey) and his spouse Vera (Liz Dawn) from their financial investment; kidnapping local gossip Norris Cole (Malcolm Hebden) to stop him from investigating the truth about Kellett Holdings and after he prevents his childhood friend Rita Fairclough (Barbara Knox) from being conned as well; befriending Gail's eldest son Nick Tilsley (Adam Rickitt) when he gets invited to their wedding; attempting to bribe the street's Councillor Curly Watts (Kevin Kennedy) with the discovery that a Bail Hostel operation threatens to jeopardize his scheme; forces Patricia's best-friend Charlotte Morris (Joanne Zorian) into leaving Weatherfield after she threatens to uncover the true circumstances behind her fate; plotting to kill his mother-in-law Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) by setting her house on fire, after which he exploits his failure to doing so with the conclusion that she has Alzheimer's disease; becoming enemies with Audrey's companion Archie Shuttleworth (Roy Hudd) in light of setting fire to her house; killing Audrey's co-worker Maxine Peacock (Tracy Shaw) with a crowbar after using it to unsuccessfully murder Norris' roommate Emily Bishop (Eileen Derbyshire) as part of his plan to extract her house as a result of his equity release scheme that Emily signed with his company; and framing David's new schoolmate Aiden Critchley (Dean Ashton) for Emily's attack and Maxine's murder in retribution for Aidan causing an earlier car crash that hospitalized Gail's only daughter Sarah-Louise (Tina O'Brien).

Eventually, Richard confessed his crimes to Gail in a two-hander episode between them on 24 February 2003. He seemingly departs Weatherfield for good after Gail ends their marriage and his criminal activities subsequently become public knowledge, but Richard returns weeks later with the intent on killing his stepfamily and himself. He abducts Gail and her children, along with Sarah's infant daughter Bethany, from their house and attempts to kill them all in their garage. However, after Audrey and Martin discover his last-ditch familicide plan, Richard drives off with his abducted stepfamily and ends up plunging their car into a canal — but they survive whilst he himself drowns.

He has been rated one of the best soap villains of all time and in the programme itself, alongside the likes of Alan Bradley (Mark Eden) and Pat Phelan (Connor McIntyre).

Sheldon Cooper – THE BIG BANG THEORY = 58

Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper, B.Sc., M.Sc., M.A., Ph.D., Sc.D., is a Caltech theoretical physicist. Next to his best friend Leonard Hofstadter, he's the main protagonist of The Big Bang Theory and the protagonist of Young Sheldon.



Originally from East Texas, Sheldon started college at the age of 11, receiving his first Ph.D. at the age of 16. As a kid, Sheldon was involved in numerous experiments as a "wunderkind", such as his plan to provide free electricity for his hometown by building a nuclear reactor - a plan stopped by government pen pushers claiming it's illegal to store yellowcake uranium in a garden shed. Proudly geeky, he has no qualms about speaking Klingon, wearing vintage t-shirts sporting superhero logos, or spouting various historical and cultural anecdotes (e.g., his account of the introduction of the fork into Thailand). While he might claim to be the perfect human specimen, Sheldon does have his faults. Sheldon is characterized by a strict adherence to routine and hygiene; an overly intellectual personality; a tenuous understanding of irony, sarcasm and humor; and a general lack of humility or empathy, the former of which is demonstrated in the fact that he has no problem voicing to his peers his admiration for his superior intellect. These qualities, along with his penchant for pranks, are his character's main source of humor. He's often considered to be the most iconic character of the show. Sheldon has developed a more human personality due to the influences of his friend Penny and his wife Amy but some of it doesn't always show up.







A Ridiculous Amount of Trivia


Sheldon will end up being the character with the most appearances in the entire franchise by the time Young Sheldon ends.

• When Sheldon was a child a bully stuck a Mexican Peso up his nose which is still there stating that it takes him forever to get through the airport.
• In "The Russian Rocket Reaction", Sheldon reveals he was 9 years old when he started his all-time enemies list on a 1989 floppy disk. His age is further constrained by the following consideration: Sheldon is a Taurus, according to "The Peanut Reaction", placing his birth date between April 19 and May 20 of 1980. This age is supported by Leonard's comment that Sheldon has been emotionally stuck for about 29 years in "The Einstein Approximation", with an air date of February 2010; however, a family chart in "The Cruciferous Vegetable Amplification" shows that he is 29 at the time of the episode, which aired in September 2010. Further, in "The Friendship Contraction", premiering in February 2012, Leonard described Sheldon as a "30-year-old man who can't survive on his own". (Though, it is possible Leonard was just being imprecise.) These latter two statements indicate a birth date between April 20 and May 21 of 1981 in the span of the Taurus. [Note that inconsistencies arise only if one assumes a temporal correspondence between the airdate of the referenced episode and the events featured in that episode. Therefore, Sheldon should be considered to have been born between April 19 &; May 20, 1980.]

• In The Celebration Experimentation and in A Rival Prodigy and Sir Isaac Neutron , Sheldon mentions to that he is born on 26th February 1980 making the Taurus theory false.

• In real life, Jim Parsons, being nearly 7 years older, was the same age as the high school students Sheldon went to school with..

• Sheldon is 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m) tall [2] – the height of Jim Parsons. (Parsons claims to measure 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m), presumably with shoes and the Sheldon life-size standup poster is 74 inches in height.)

• He weighs either 165 lbs (75 kg), as revealed in "The Porkchop Indeterminacy", or 140 lbs (63.5 kg), as estimated in "The Luminous Fish Effect"; however, those are most likely inaccurate now, due to the amount of time that's passed.

• He has been described as a "tall, thin... praying mantis" by both Penny and Amy Farrah Fowler.

• According to his mother, Mary Cooper, Sheldon has her eyes, his daddy's temper, and "all that science stuff" comes from Jesus.

• Several ways to annoy Sheldon are laid out in "The Bad Fish Paradigm" (S02E01), including:

• Change the brightness/contrast settings of the television.

• Take a Band-aid off in front of him.

• Buy generic ketchup.

• Forget to rinse the sink.

• Talk to him through the bathroom door.

• Adjust the thermostat.

• Cook with Cilantro|cilantro leaves

• Pronounce the 't' in 'often'

• Make fun of Model trains/trains

• According to Sheldon, he says that his mom wants grandchildren through him, but Penny adds that she wouldn't want a test tube grandson born out of wedlock (this being against Mrs. Cooper's born-again religious beliefs) though later she didn't Sheldon and Amy living together in sin.

• Mary's water broke for Sheldon and Missy in a Kmart, not a Walmart.

• Sheldon kept track of his bowel movements in a notebook ever since he was 2, even down to color, shape and consistency. His first entry was "This is so embarrassing. What was wrong with diapers?"

• Sheldon is rarely interested in sports, but is highly skilled at bowling and can consistently get strikes. ("The Wheaton Recurrence")

• Sheldon was raised in a Christian household in Galveston, East Texas, Texas, USA (Texas just happens to be the same state that Jim Parsons was actually born in), although he once said his mom had to help his dad during tornado season, as the aluminum house he had slipped off its cinder blocks. (This could have been his father's way of a tornado shelter or his parents divorced by then and he moved into an aluminum trailer. The reason for these explanations being as we saw Sheldon's childhood home in the season 3 premiere, where his mother still lives.)
• Sheldon has perfected "glow-in-the-dark fish"
• Sheldon has 212 friends on MySpace. Even though he hasn't met one of them, he thinks it's the beauty of it.
• Sheldon is allergic to bees and cats and gets asthma when he is around them (despite having a pet cat as a child and a whole glaring of cats when he missed Amy.)
• Sheldon considers himself to be the first "Homo novus" - a new, evolved species of Homo Sapiens.
• Sheldon doesn't believe in luck or coincidence, instead citing the Law of Large Numbers (LLN) in statistics as the explanation for such phenomena.
• Sheldon hates going to the local Renaissance fair because he doesn't like the historical inaccuracies, such as Bavarian purity laws, mead flagons made of polypropylene, "ye olde" being put in front of everything, even modern underwear.

• Sheldon was humiliated on national radio during NPR's Science Friday with Ira Flatow when his voice became extremely high pitched due to helium seeping into his office as part of a prank by Barry Kripke.

• Sheldon agrees with the theory that 75-80% of any Rock-Paper-Scissors games you play with a person you are familiar with end up in a tie due to the limited number of outcomes, and accordingly he prefers the variation Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock/Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock.
• Sheldon believes that chocolate is the best flavor of pudding, trumping tapioca because of its high concentration of cyanide.
• Sheldon's favorite amino acid is Lysine, which is a major plot point to control the dinosaurs in the novel/movie Jurassic Park
• Sheldon thinks that his very strong attention to hygiene and his skill in writing Java Applets are the main reasons why his friends like him.
• Sheldon loves trains and monkeys.
• Sheldon contests that you can put a number to anything, including Rubik's cube stickers as well as friends.
• Sheldon fears dogs, dinosaurs, chickens and formerly birds.
• Sheldon had a cat named Lucky when he was a child, and this cat died because it was hit by a car. According to Leonard, this is another example of Sheldon's inability to understand irony.
• Sheldon thought about creating a griffin after Lucky was killed, but his parents didn't want to secure the appropriate eagle eggs and lion semen.
• Sheldon learned how to swim (on the floor) online. He went into the pool with Ramona Nowitzki in season 10.

• Sheldon cannot stand whistling. ("The Friendship Algorithm")

• Sheldon was very busy in his teenage years examining the range of diffusion in the super-symmetric theories, which brought him to re-examine the ultraviolet properties of Higher-dimensional supergravity|supergravity a loop.

• Sheldon's expenses account for 46.9% of his after-tax income.

• According to Leonard, Sheldon doesn't like furniture made of reclaimed wood cause he believes the original owners will come back to take it.

• Sheldon imposes and teaches behavior lessons to any friend of his who disappoints him for three consecutive times.

• Sheldon thrives off his work and if left jobless he loses all focus and moves onto a new experiment/obsession every day, much to Leonard's dismay.

• Sheldon does not like teddy bears because he thinks bears are terrifying. He later told Amy that he does have one and that he often used it to wipe his nose.

• Sheldon was called by Leonard "one lab accident away from becoming a super villain".

• According to Leonard, Sheldon loves having his brain scanned.

• Sheldon only shows genuine affection for one person, his grandmother (or Meemaw), whom he writes too at least for most of the show.

• Sheldon is a Taurus, placing his birthday between April 21 and May 20, however, his birthday is apparently February 26, which makes him a Pisces, causing a continuity error. Though, it's possible that Penny guessed he was a Taurus.

• Sheldon, though unwilling to fight, is physically the strongest of the group, easily holding his own against Raj in an arm wrestle, and once referred to Leonard and Howard as 'tiny tiny men'. He was also able to move his entire dresser, with reasonable ease when barricading his door, due to paranoia, after being burgled.

• Sheldon owns a pocket watch. He bought it for himself when he was shopping for Amy to get her back in "The Shiny Trinket Maneuver". It is seen again in "The Locomotive Manipulation".

• Sheldon's little toes and lateral incisors are degenerated, which he says is due to his high level of evolution which keeps him from using a motor vehicle correctly.

• He says that he thinks that Erno Rubik, is a lonely guy.

• Sheldon once took a bet with Howard about a species of cricket, but lost and had to give Howard his rare Flash comic book.
• Sheldon was once offered a position at a secret military base but was later forced to deny the position due to his inability to keep secrets.
• Sheldon thought that the trip he and his friends took to the North Pole in Season 2/3 was "a hoot and a half."
• It was mentioned that Sheldon and Leonard once had (before they were robbed) "A TV, 2 laptops, 4 external hard drives, a PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, a classic Nintendo, a Super Nintendo, a Nintendo 64, a Nintendo Wii, Halo 1-3, Call of Duty 1-3, Rock Band 1-2, Final Fantasy 1-9, Legend of Zelda, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Galaxy, Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympics and Ms. Pac-Man. They also own Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption by Rockstar Games. They then probably got all the games and consoles again with a new T.V. and new computers. Sheldon's data was safe as well, as he was performing a backup in the previous episode. His new computer came with Windows 7 which he doesn't like cause it's much more user friendly than Windows Vista.
• Sheldon has adhesive whimsical duck stickers, holding umbrellas in his bathtub to prevent slipping.
• Sheldon keeps a daily log of social interactions called Sheldon's Log (in reference of Captain's Log).
• Sheldon doesn't trust banks because he believes that ATM machines will lead the charge of the robot armies when they revolt against humans.
• Sheldon keeps Band-Aids with him at all times, as well as in his kitchen, top desk drawer etc.
• As of "The Excelsior Acquisition" (S3E16), Sheldon has a restraining order from Stan Lee as well as the late Leonard Nimoy. In "The Vacation Solution" (S5E16), he also mentions having one from the late Carl Sagan. In "The Proton Displacement" (S7E07), he gets a new one from Bill Nye the Science Guy.
• Sheldon got drunk four times during the series: at the end of "The Grasshopper Experiment", "The Pants Alternative", "The Stag Convergence" and "The Habitation Configuration. In the last two, he showed a sense of humor and irony above what he normally has.
• Sheldon apparently believes in the possibility of time travel to the past according to the beginning of "The Luminous Fish Effect", explanations of time paradoxes in "The Nerdvana Annihilation" and a point of the room-mate agreement in "The Staircase Implementation".
• When somebody is distressed, Sheldon consoles them by saying "There, there", the only proof of his compassion towards other fellow human beings.
• Sheldon doesn't seem to like Internet memes, considering them "venality". He once gave Penny a "strike" (out of three and you're out) for sending him a picture of a cat who wants to "Haz cheezburger". He also put Leonard's e-mails in his spam folder over Leonard sending him a video of The Keyboard Cat.
• Sheldon is scared of waking Penny before 11 A.M., because she has an "I'll punch you in the throat" rule if he does.
• Sheldon prefers the word "Hokum" over Bogus, Hocus Pocus, Mumbo Jumbo and Hokie Pokie.
• He considered Amy Farrah Fowler a friend, who is a girl, but not his girlfriend. This statement, however, is moot since "The Flaming Spittoon Acquisition" when the two officially become a couple.
• Due to his good archery skills (taught to him by his father, George), Sheldon believes he would have made a great elf.
• There are two pieces of tape on the floor in Leonard and Sheldon's bathroom. One is in front of the sink and people must brush and floss their teeth from behind this piece of tape. A second piece is in front of the toilet "for those that stand up to pee", though what exactly it marks was not specified. If someone gets the mirror or floor dirty, before Sheldon's inspection, they can lose their T.V. privileges.
• As part of the roommate agreement created by Sheldon, Leonard has to wash his feet in a special tub before he gets in the bath or shower.
• The tentative title for his future autobiography is You're Welcome, Mankind.
• He had a Somalian pen pal who was kidnapped by pirates.
• Sheldon has to be knocked out by an anesthetic when he goes for a cleaning at the dentist, as he bites.
• In 1998, Sheldon bought a Tamagotchi and it is still alive.
• Both Howard and Sheldon first connect with their girlfriends over the personalities of their mothers.
• In kindergarten, Sheldon recited Pi to a thousand places for the school talent show.
• In "The Bakersfield Expedition", Sheldon dressed as the Star Trek: The Next Generation character, Lt. Data.
• He might have aquaphobia (fear of water) per the episode "The Friendship Algorithm".
• Sheldon sometimes reverts to his Texan upbringing and uses expressions and ideas from his mother and father that are not as acceptable in the 21st century. (Women are like an egg salad sandwich...), (Swatting Amy on the behind and calling her a great gal.)
• As a child, Sheldon was not allowed to do his homework until after he watched football with his father.
• Sheldon can speak the Hawaiian language.
• Additionally Sheldon also knows Hindi.
• It's implied that Sheldon admires Madame Curie, as he put her in the collage for his screensaver along with Stephen Hawking and Amy.
• Sheldon meets James Earl Jones who likes Sheldon and he takes him out on a night on the town instead of having a restraining order issued against him as Leonard Nimoy, Carl Sagan, Stan Lee, and Bill Nye have done.
• In 2012, scientists at CERN actually DID find a new particle, and after additional research, confirmed that, in fact, the Higgs boson has been found such as Sheldon had been working on.
• Sheldon's abstinence from alcohol may have been an afterthought by the writers early on. In the pilot episode, when Leonard introduces Penny to the gang, he is seen drinking a beverage in a brown bottle with his dinner, which is presumably a beer.
• Another bad habit of Sheldon's is that he reveals himself bad events that he could have gotten away with, such as cleaning Penny's apartment at night, which Penny figured out that it was Sheldon by leaving a list for her closet, and a video message for Kripke after pranking him and inadvertently the University president and board of directors, something he could have easily gotten away with.
• Liev Schreiber - Prototype Sheldon? = He plays a scientist which has few people skills and is working on a weather model that leads him to find holes in time. Physics, time travel, alternate realities, all things that Sheldon is interested in. He looks like he could be Sheldon's brother and often had that squinty eye look while trying to figure out something or when his friends confused him. From the movie "Kate and Leopold".
• The life-model for Sheldon may have been found in the person of physics wunderkind Taylor Wilson, whose life and achievements are remarkably similar, right down to coming from much the same region of the US to the little matter of illegally stored yellowcake uranium used to fuel the working nuclear reactor in the garage - which Taylor built at age fourteen...
• Sheldon's sexuality remains largely a mystery for the first three seasons. It was presumed by most that Sheldon was asexual, which is a lack of sexual attraction to anyone. This is shown when Penny asks what Sheldon's "deal" is, (girls, guys, sock puppets?) In which Leonard responds that they have been operating under the assumption he has no "deal." When Penny insists everyone has a deal, Howard responds "not Sheldon." However, as his relationship with Amy Farrah Fowler develops it appears that Sheldon is perhaps demisexual, which is a largely unrecognized and rare sexual orientation, which is characterized by a lack of sexual attraction towards any person unless they become deeply emotionally or romantically connected with a specific person (Amy). Sheldon appears to feel at least a small amount of sexual attraction towards Amy (most notably in "The Locomotive Manipulation", season 7, episode 15)
• Sheldon is very fond of cats, having owned one as a child and having adopted several when his relationship with Amy temporarily ended. Although Sheldon has issues touching most people, places, things, and animals Sheldon appears to have no issues with touching cats, despite being allergic to them.
• Sheldon's IQ of 187 points places him in a very small fraction of a percent of the most intelligent people in the world. An IQ score is a normalized, scaled representation of the percentage of people that are at least as "intelligent" (as measured by the test) as the scored person. Current IQ tests are scaled to 15 points per one standard deviation (all IQ tests have 100 assigned to the population mean score), older tests (e.g. the popular Stanford-Binet Test) have 16 points per st. deviation. Assuming Sheldon's score is on a modern test, an IQ of 187 means a person with such an intelligence level occurs approximately once per 300 million individuals, i.e. Sheldon is in the top 25 smartest individuals on the planet (using 7.25 billion as the human population of the Earth). If his score were on a SD-16 test instead, he'd have a 1 in 37 million intelligence, and there would therefore be some 200 individuals as smart as or smarter than him in the world.
• However, it is true that all IQ tests are highly imprecise for extreme values such as Sheldon's (owing to the very small number of people who can achieve such a result, rather than because of bad test design).
• An SD-15 test would assign an IQ of 195 to the smartest individual (i.e., the one with the best result) on the planet (and 194 to the next smartest); an SD-16 test would assign 201 or 202 to the smartest individual.
• Leonard and Sheldon are similar from The Odd Couple. Sheldon is similar to Felix: both are neat freaks and never let things go; difference is that Sheldon is incredibly arrogant and selfish sometimes than Felix.
• Sheldon has an engagement ring that he keeps in his drawer. This ring is revealed to be a maternal family heirloom that was temporarily lost when his Nana had her finger cut off by Comanches. After it was reclaimed, the ring was passed down from generation to generation, until Sheldon received it from his mother.
• Fun fact: there is a Cooper City in Texas, near Dallas/Fort Worth.
• In "The Pancake Batter Anomaly" (S1E11), Sheldon said at the age of 15, he got sick in Germany, and his mother had to fly back to Texas to help his dad at that time. This creates a continuity error in the episodes "The Thanksgiving Decoupling" (S7E9) and "The Proton Transmogrification" (S7E22) because Sheldon mentions to Bernadette's father Mike and to the ghost of Professor Proton, respectively, that his father died when he was 14.
• Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Raj are the only characters of the current main cast who have appeared in every episode. Howard and Raj didn't appear in the "Unaired Pilot".
• Sheldon always has a habit of putting himself into Leonard's romances, either because he believes Leonard will do something to screw it up, he isn't very considerate of their [Leonard and the woman's] thoughts on it, or he simply does it for no good reason at all other than force of habit.
• Like Penny, Sheldon has/had commitment issues, but in his case, it's not/wasn't as severe, given that he took Amy's hand ("The Countdown Reflection"), initiated his first make out session with her ("The Locomotive Manipulation"), said "I Love You" before she could say it to him ("The Prom Equivalency"), planned on proposing to her ("The Commitment Determination"), and voluntarily decided on having coitus with her ("The Opening Night Excitation"). These examples also prove that despite Amy being ahead in the relationship, Sheldon is the one who takes all the major steps.
• The origin of his knock started after he found his father in bed with a strange woman. Afterwards, he always knocked three times to give people enough time to get their pants on.
• Sheldon Cooper born and raised in Texas and he doesn't have a Texas accent. He sounds more like Frasier Crane and sounds more like a Connecticut country club snob.
• Considering Sheldon's personality, it could be entirely possible that he did have one as a young child, then studied elocution to rid himself of it when he realized that it was, as southern comedian Jeff Foxworthy has joked, "not the world's most sophisticated accent."
• Sheldon has a lot of paychecks that he never deposited in a bank or even used in "The Excelsior Acquisition". Never explained why he didn't use his paychecks to pay his bills, his taxes and his insurance and mostly the rent. How did he stay in that apartment he didn't pay or have any utilities without his using his paychecks to deposit? Only one answer is Leonard, Leonard is the only one supporting him.
• Sheldon and Amy had sex once a year til they got married.
• Sheldon got his driver's license two years ago but never drove cause he likes to be chauffeured around, believing it makes him feel important. Actually Sheldon got his driver's license in season 2, but never drove. The streets will be safer if he doesn't. Amy respects his wishes that she chauffeured around.
• Sheldon's right-handed and has the most screen time, surpassing even Leonard in the big bang theory.
• Sheldon skipped kindergarten though grade 1 might be the minimum required start.
• Sheldon loves trains.
• Sheldon's favorite type of cake is a 3 layered chocolate cake with strawberry frosting, as revealed in the episode "The Celebration Experimentation".
• His father used to give him archery lessons, by force though.
• He emails Penny his bathroom schedule once a week, even though Penny has clicked unsubscribe "like a thousand times", he still continues to do so.
• He considers Stuart to be his 9th favorite person, late in the show he's nicer to Howard than Stuart.
• He has a fear of nets.
• He used to have a fear of mailmen.
• He and his mother have an agreement that Sheldon would go to church at least once a year every year.
• He enjoys reading and collecting comic books.
• Since his mother believes in God and since Sheldon's religion allows him to celebrate Christmas it is most likely that Sheldon is Baptist, however Sheldon does not believe in or celebrate the religion of any kind though.
• Sheldon's mother looks down on Catholicism shown in multiple episodes throughout the series, in one Big Bang Theory Episode she visits a catholic church and makes a derrogatory comment, and in Young Sheldon when Tam says he is Catholic she says "Well that's to bad,".
• Sheldon's favorite Star Trek character is Spock.
• He doesn't drink coffee cause before he left California he promised his mother that he would never do drugs, including coffee, however coffee isn't a drug.
• He drinks hot chocolate but only in months with an R in them, meaning he only drinks hot chocolate in January, February, March, April, September, October, November and December.
• His beverage of choice is moot.
• Sheldon has an Eidetic memory, which can sometimes "be a curse" as he was able to remember the lyrics to the song "We will rock you".
• Raj once used the little rubber part of Sheldon's tooth brush to pick food from his teeth and massage his gums.
• He has to shave every 11 days.
• His favorite character in "The Simpsons" is Lisa Simpson.
• He has never touched Stuart.

Stella Gibson – THE FALL / Jesse Pinkman – BREAKING BAD = 62


Stella Gibson

Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson is an English Metropolitan Police officer assigned to the Police Service of Northern Ireland on a 28-day review in the city of Belfast who later accepts a semi-permanent secondment to supervise Operation Musicman. Gibson is a senior investigating officer tasked with the reviewing of investigations, an incredibly capable officer, and is extremely comfortable with her own sexuality.

With her investigation stalled, Gibson is forced to get results under the threat of a new 28-day review into Operation Musicman. As Stella's personal past comes back to haunt her, her professional present becomes further entangled in it.

Amy Sullivan called The Fall "The Most Feminist Show on Television", writing: "Refreshingly, none of the tropes we've been trained to expect in a story about a powerful woman play out. Nobody resents Gibson's appearance on the scene or questions her authority. Her gender is a non-issue; subordinates hop to when she enters a room and they follow her commands without question. Gibson doesn't try to submerge her femininity and stomp around barking out orders. In Anderson's restrained yet compelling performance, Gibson is cool, calm, and always chic, with the most fabulous coat in detectivedom."

Gibson was ranked on Yahoo! list of "Greatest TV Characters Since Tony Soprano". Ken Tucker wrote: "Steely and precise, priding herself on being in control, Detective Inspector [sic] Gibson is a brilliant investigator, logical yet willing to go with hunches as they occur to her. Like some of her male colleagues, she's also made a few errors in judgment when it comes to interoffice involvements — one-night stands and trickier relationships as well. Dogged and obsessive, Gibson is as hard-boiled as any of her male counterparts in leading an investigation.





Jesse Pinkman

Jesse Bruce Pinkman is the former partner of Walter White in the methamphetamine drug trade. Jesse was a small-time methamphetamine user, manufacturer, and dealer. He was also an inattentive student in Walter White's chemistry class, but was still able to graduate. In his mid-20s, Jesse became Walt's business partner in the meth trade. Before his partnership with Walt, he, operating under the pseudonym "Cap'n Cook", added a little Chili powder to make his methamphetamine stand out in the market.



A Bit of Trivia

• Jesse in the lab, displaying the injuries he sustained from Hank
• In the original Pilot (2005 script), the character that would become Jesse was named "Marion Dupree."
• Jesse is the only main character in season 1 that isn't related to Walter.
• Jesse is a fan of Jethro Tull. ("Cancer Man")
• Jesse was originally scheduled to be killed at the end of season 1. Before then however, Vince Gilligan recognized Aaron Paul's excellent potential and acting, and decided to keep him on. No-Doze took his place, being punched to death by Tuco Salamanca in "A No-Rough-Stuff-Type Deal".
• Jesse is one of two characters (along with Walter White) to appear in every episode. However he has no lines in the episode "Buried", which makes Bryan Cranston the only actor to have lines in every episode of the series.
• Jesse and Walt are the only main characters to kill another main character.
• Jesse has met every main character except for Walter White Jr.
• Jesse is the last person who knows how to cook Blue Sky, and one of the few surviving members of Walt's Drug Empire.
• A young Jesse playing the drums, from the minisode "TwaüghtHammër".
• In "El Camino", it's left unclear what if any charges Jesse actually has against him. SAC Ramey only identifies Jesse as a person of interest in the gang massacre who possibly has information regarding other cases the DEA is investigating. Being a person of interest suggests that the authorities may have only been seeking Jesse for information, not arrest, or that Ramey just wasn't admitting to wanting Jesse as more than someone with potential information particularly in light of the fact that Jesse's captivity and rescue by Walt appears to be public knowledge.
• In the minisode "TwaüghtHammër", a very short clip of a young Jesse playing the drums is shown. The name of the actor who played this young version of Jesse is unknown.
• Jesse's blood type is A-negative, meaning he can donate to A-positive, A-negative, AB-positive and AB-negative, and he can receive blood from A-negative and O-negative.("Crawl Space")
In a deleted scene for "El Camino", its revealed that Jesse was actually wounded in the firefight at Kandy Welding Co., something that was not seen in the actual movie itself. After Jesse pays him, Ed promises to look at Jesse's wound for him. Vince Gilligan explained the scene was cut because it prolonged the film's third act, but his one regret was losing one more scene featuring the late Robert Forster as Ed.

Ted Hastings – LINE OF DUTY = 63

Hastings was born on July 15th 1963 in Northern Ireland, to a Protestant father and Catholic mother. His father left when he was young, resulting in his mother raising him Catholic. He later moved to The City where the show takes place in the West Midlands in England.

When he was 18 he married Roisin Hastings, although the two later separated due to strains on their marriage caused by his bad real estate investment in The Kettle Bell Complex. Despite being Catholic, he is also a member of a Masonic organisation.

Hastings became a police officer in 1982, and received his training at the RUC Training Depot in Enniskillen, Garnerville Police College in Belfast and the Gough Barracks in Armagh.

Serving with the Royal Ulster Constabulary during The Troubles, he was subjected to discrimination based on his Catholic faith. This included a pipe bomb explosion which resulted in him getting severely injured and his best friend PC Patrick O'Malley (also a Catholic) being killed, which was subsequently covered up. After recovering from his injuries, he moved to The City in the West Midlands on promotion to Sergeant and joined Central Police in 1989. Hastings is an Authorised Firearms Officer, presumably from being routinely armed whilst working in Northern Ireland.

His first posting with Central Police was Dorden Station, later moving on to Millbarrow Station. After becoming an Inspector in 1995 he was assigned to Greencastle Station and later Wyvernridge Station in 1999. In 2001 he was assigned to Professional Standards based in Pelbury House as a detective. Upon further promotion to Chief Inspector in 2005, he was assigned back to Dorden Station, and later Northby Station as a Deputy Divisional Commander, before being transferred back to Professional Standards at Pelbury House. In 2009 he was promoted to Superintendent, and put in charge of AC-12, operating out of the separate AC-12 Building.

Hastings has been awarded the Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal, The Queens Diamond Jubilee Medal, and the Police Long Service and Good Conduct Medal.

Shane Vendrell – THE SHIELD = 66

Little is known about his early life, however he did mention that he was from Atlanta, Georgia. In the episode "Cracking Ice", Shane mentioned that he is nothing like his father, suggesting that he had a bad relationship with his father.

At some point, Shane became an LAPD detective, partnered in the Vice Division with Vic Mackey who would become his best friend.

When Assistant Chief Ben Gilroy offered Mackey to lead the Strike Team, an experimental anti-gang unit, Mackey decided to take Shane and Detective Ronnie Gardocki with him.

Shane, who by that time had met and befriended Detective Curtis "Lem" Lemansky, vouched for Lem to join the team. They were soon joined by Robbery Division Detective Terry Crowley who was put in the team as a possible replacement for Vic by Captain Aceveda.



A Bit of Trivia

• The house that was used as Vendrell's home is on Scotland Street in Los Angeles.
• His badge number is 714, a probable reference to Dragnet.
• Shane appears to favour the Beretta 8000 9mm gun as his sidearm.
• One known alias of his is "Cletus Van Damme."
• He squints when he is lying (as observed by Dutch during the interrogation about their role in Terry Crowley's murder).
• Shane drove a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado until Season 5. Then he drove a Dodge Dakota, with license plate 2CON654.

Sydney Bristow – ALIAS = 69

Sydney Anne Bristow (played by Jennifer Garner) is a fictional character and the primary focus of the television series Alias. She is an American woman with a Russian-Canadian family background who works as a spy for the CIA.

Sydney is depicted in the series as being strong both physically and emotionally. She deals with some significant trauma over the years: the death of her fiancé, the death of her best friend, the realization that her mother was a former KGB spy, the estrangement of many of her friends and the constant activity and changes that she must endure from being a spy on a regular basis. Sydney is highly skilled in Krav Maga and is a polyglot, speaking English, Russian, German, Greek, Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Norwegian, Swedish, Romanian, Hungarian, Hebrew, Uzbek, Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Indonesian, Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Vietnamese, Polish, Serbian, Czech, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian in various episodes. Throughout the series her code names are Bluebird, Freelancer, Mountaineer, and Phoenix.

Before landing the lead role in Alias, Garner auditioned five times for a guest appearance in J. J. Abrams's Felicity. When Abrams created Alias, he wanted Garner to portray Sydney. "There was something about her that I just thought was really special. I always thought she had something in her personality that was funnier and sexier and smarter and more mischievous than anything I'd seen her do. And when I wrote Sydney, I wanted to show that," he said. Melissa George, who went on to play Lauren Reed on the show, was also considered for the role of Sydney. Garner took private martial arts lessons for one month during the audition process. She did many of the physical stunts herself throughout the series. Her first stunt double was Dana Hee, who was later replaced by Shauna Duggins.
