Drawing a parallel to Reid? Smart, isolated... not aggressive, though. Although I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't have much respect for authority when he was young. Not much in the way of positive role models.

I was never a genius, d'awwwwwww, but I was the bookish kid who got bullied for it. I didn't have /faith/ in the power of authority figures to protect me, but I respected them, like, dude, my peers picked on me, but the teachers were nice to me, and it was because of the teachers that are nice to me that I was soooo bookish. When I was a kid, I figure out that authority figures were not remotely omnipotent - and I didn't blame them for it.

Reid certainly doesn't have problems with authority figures, he's comfortable that the other members of his team are alphas, but he ain't ("Compromising Positions").







Holy crap, Strauss is drinking, this is Law and Order all over again!
