#don eppes

Numb3rs is so much more fun when you realize that literally every government agency in the universe needs to go to Charles Eppes' office, politely ask for his help, and probably pay him by the hour. Then there's Don who just wakes him up from the bed and takes him to the fbi office in pyjamas.

i love don eppes. i love don eppes because he's both the most tuned in man, but also the most unaware. i love him because he did piano lessons and dance lessons, not because he wanted to because he wanted to make his mom happy. he loves his mom and his dad and his brother. i love don because he loves anyone who comes into his life for more than five minutes. he pays for an apartment (in LA) and still spends most of his time where his dad and his brother live because as much as he has an apartment, his home is where his family is. i love don because he was a successful baseball player. i love don because he hit a bad ball during his baseball career and realized, on his own, that he would never be as successful as he thought he would be (or wanted to be) and decided to change his life the same day. i love don because he always wants to feel closer to something. i love don because he gets upset is when he feels distant or on the outs (or when he's not in-the-know). i love don because he chews bubble gum. i love don because he goes to therapy and actually participates in making his life better for him and everyone in it. i like don because he likes powerful women. i love don because he loves his brother's girlfriend like a sister. i love don because he gives people the benefit of the doubt. i love don because he appreciates intuition. i love don because he searches for answers, even if he knows he won't like the conclusion.
