I love how he mysteriously keeps things from Miss parker. He helps Jarod alot. He has even been mystified by things Jarod has done. I think his charachter is very important.

aye - his character is very important - tho sometimes under used

i, however, have a difficult time finding a place for him in my fics - he's a hard character for me to write -- jarod, mp, Lyle - them, no problem, Sydney? he gets me every time -- same w/ Broots - but more for 'technical' reasons than his character ---

Asmiley · 26th October 2001, 09:19 PM

Oh But he's so into things he links himself into so much how can you not fit him into your fics?

Highlander II · 26th October 2001, 09:28 PM

b/c i can't write him -- he never sounds quite right ---

i can't quite get him to sound like Sydney -- so, he is 'under used' in my fics --

well - the like 2 or 3 i've finished ---

Asmiley · 26th October 2001, 09:30 PM

You can't get into his personality?

Highlander II · 26th October 2001, 09:33 PM

no - for some reason, when i write him, if he isn't being 'typical' Sydney - plain bland psych speak - i can't do it -- i've tried, and it usually sounds stupid --- Syd's not stupid ---

guess it could be b/c he doesn't get as much 'screentime' as some of the other characters - and he doesn't really talk much - and i write mostly dialogue -- harder for me to write characters who don't speak --- probably why i haven't used Angelo much either ----

Asmiley · 26th October 2001, 09:39 PM

Yes well. it's not how much he talks that's important just the things he says.

Highlander II · 1st November 2001, 06:39 PM

and Sydney says some pretty important things, doesn't he??

he's got a 'fatherly' connection with Jarod -- that MP tried to break - unsuccessfully, though --

have there been any times when Syd has infuriated you? made you angry and aks 'what did you do THAT for??'

Everything he says or sees seems important to not only the show but to the whole insight into Jarrod's life thing too.

SOmetimes I don't know where his character is going with somethings, but he is much like a dad to Jarrod, you is right about that.
