Daniels

In the tradition of watching TV (okay TV shows downloaded from the internet) I have really gotten into "The Wire". This is quite possibly the best show I have ever seen. The problem, as with all great TV shows, is that the characters really become a part of your life. For example, I'm chillin at a bar with my buddy and see some beautiful lady standing by the jukebox. Immediately I think to myself, what would Bunk and McNulty do in this situation?
This is just one example, the most frustrating thing about these great characters is that they transcend the actors who play them.
So there I was, minding my own business watching more TV the other night (a recurring them in my life) when Lt. Daniels shows up on "Lost". Now I realize this guy is an actor who needs to make a living, but he is now in two shows airing at the same time, this is just too damn confusing. In "Lost" he is some conspiracy worker, who is evil and trying to do something with the island. In "The Wire" he is the epitome of what a good cop is supposed to be. Although, if you know the show nobody is really "good". How the hell am I supposed to believe this guy is these two characters? There should be some sort of TV code against this.
