But.. but.. it's soo murky and mysterious in here..lots of squidgey stuff to poke and such..

I haven't as yet. The attraction with Morse started as my father used to watch it and so I picked up an interest in the staring pair and it's that interplay of characters that got me hooked.

I guess I should try Lewis really... it's about the only detective style thing I haven't seen yet.

I don't know about Hathaway but I'd have placed Lewis as more of an extrovert myself.

Your estimation of Morse's type surprises me somewhat.. May I ask what in particular lead you to that conclusion?

I think it sounds like good thinking.. or intuition... right is something I'd probably argue over

If you mean are your results the same as the case study then in Morse's case definitely not... which is why I'm interested (I'm not sure they got it right either to be honest). In any case thinking about it's more interesting than getting it "right"

I'd concurr that I think Morse is intuitive but I'm being wary that such may be myself fitting the character to a pattern rather than observing one. If Morse is played as having high intelligence then the writer will include links not obvious to the audience to illustrate his intellect.. I'm concerned that can lead to people seeing intuition when in fact it's leaps put in to represent high intelligence.

Having said all that to me the most telling parts of the character is Morse's distain for Lewis' "basic" thinking and also how Morse has a tendency to grasp the first idea he has and persues it until Lewis says something, sometimes a random thought and other times actual constructed thinking, which shows Morse where he's going wrong.

I realise that similar was evident in the Holmes stories but somehow that always seemed to be executed with less finesse. Crass somehow. Where Morse actually uses what Lewis has said to come to his next bright idea Holmes seems more prone to just leap off at another tangent almost without regard to what Watson actually said.
