And this is why we love Tim Minear

So, lately, I have been watching The Inside with prozacpark. It's a pretty spiffy about an FBI team. The boss, Web, is a bit evil and sadistic and likes to surround himself with people with Issues. Because apparently, people who could snap at any given time are much better at it than anyone else. I rather love him for it, because it means that he stamped the approval papers for Rebecca Locke, a young profiler who failed the entrance exam several times, due to the part where she was kidnapped as a child and returned on her own a year later with no memories of where she'd been or how she'd escaped. She's wonderfully unhinged.

But before Tim Minear got ahold of the series, it was this: 

 

THE INSIDE: At first glance, DANNY ROBERTS (RACHEL NICHOLS, “Dumb & Dumberer”) seems to be the quintessential American teenager, dating the quarterback at a suburban high school. Only a few know her secret: Danny is not really a high school student, but a 22-year-old federal agent working undercover. Helping Danny – who is actually Agent ELIZABETH WORTH – maintain her cover is Agent SEAN ECKHARDT (PETER FACINELLI, “Fastlane”). In the pilot episode, Danny/Elizabeth’s drug investigation is sidetracked when her high school “boyfriend” is murdered. She must confront the pressures of getting personally involved in the lives of her classmates, while working to solve the murder and put the drug investigation back on track – all without blowing her cover. Over the course of the series, Danny’s assignments will vary, but she always faces the unique challenges of going undercover to solve crimes.
ETA:  Seriously, it went from that to this:



Though, the idea of Rebecca in pink...

*wonders if Rebecca even knows what pink IS*

I liked that show when I was twelve and it was called 21 Jump Street.

I LOVE TIM MINEAR!

And Rebecca Locke. <3 <3 <3

And "The Inside."

And this comment has, like, no information that's new but I still needed to flail over my show because besides me? NO ONE POSTS ABOUT IT!

And, of course, Web is love. :)

I read your post and thought, "hmm, sounds potentially interesting", and then I processed that Adam Baldwin is in the picture. Eeee!

I watched this while it was airing. For all of six episodes. I have it now on my computer but haven't yet embarked upon a rewatch. I wish they'd put it out on DVD, though. I think there's something like 15 episodes in existence.

This show started off iffy for me, but quickly grew interesting. I wish it was a little more...something. Anything to make it more than just a well done precedural. In the sea of L&Os and CSIs and NCISes, it's no wonder it got buried and died quickly.

I do miss it though, and this and Alias have made me a pretty big fan of Rachel Nichols.
