Numb3rs

[(Anonymous)]

I used to watch this on and off when it aired but it was never consistent. Not too long ago, I marathoned the entire show. I still liked some of the characters and I'll admit that the episode formula wore a little thin at times and the math often stretched my level of disbelief.

But the thing I want to rant about is how unlikeable the character of Charlie became. He knew absolutely everything by the end. He would throw tantrums and wouldn't really ever get called on it. He was also incredibly closed-minded (for instance when psychics came up). And he was selfish (like when he tried to get his friend to not go to outer space, which was his friend's lifelong dream, but it was solely because Charlie didn't want him to go). The brothers were never really a partnership. Don seemed to evolve and grow comfortable with himself. But I never really saw them connecting or understanding each other. I was very disappointed by the end. Charlie was utterly insufferable.

Charlie's a mathematical genius who deals in facts. How open minded do you think he really ought to be when it comes to psychics, whose abilities have never and will never passed proper scientific evaluation?

I don't need him to believe in psychics. I just think he shouldn't act like such a douchebag about it. Like, when his girlfriend said she liked magic and tried to explain its appeal to her -- he acted like a grade-A asshole to her. He didn't ever bend on it at all, even when she opened herself up to him. He showed no sympathy or empathy. He made fun of her -- his girlfriend -- in a really mean way.

He comes off as someone who can't just shrug and say, "I don't agree with it. I don't think it's fact, but it's no skin off my nose if people believe this stuff." He seemed weirdly invested in shouting down people who like this stuff. Like, he couldn't deal with the fact that his math friends were open-minded about this -- like it was against any conceivable version of the universe that if you trusted math, you could accept magic/psychic/supernatural stuff.

I don't think it's out-of-character for him to reject psychics but I do think it was out-of-character for the Charlie from the first season to end up being so closed-minded about his friends having a different perspective on things from him. It was the WAY he wasn't open-minded that really turned me off.
