They had no idea what to do with the character, didn't give a shit about the character, and this just proves it.
Yep, and that's the rub. Mo was a computer specialist, and then they gave that role to Riley. Her role as confidant to McBride, and partner in the field to Connor. They didn't do anything with her character because they didn't *want* to. As someone on TWoP pointed out, Jane can do everything Connor does *and* not die which makes Connor useless. But boy I'll bet the PTB won't *ever* get rid of Connor, or McBride, or Riley (Joe and Seth are up in the air because they're minorites). They've taken a concept about a female character and her female partner and turned it into a 'boys club that *allowed* the girl in'. Fuck that!
I just hate shows that present female characters as their leads then toss them to the side so they can play with their male character favorites/proxies. I'm looking at *you* Atlantis!!
