Bonus Lonny:

While I love Roxy’s general badassery, particularly the level of physical skill and prowess she got to show off at Hoffstedder’s, I also think it’s odd that she was delegated to mostly physical missions and interrogations through out the show when her intro clarifies her to be a grifter, a fixer, and a counterfeiter. Like, that’s why the Matchmaker sent Meyer to her, because he needed a team of diverse skill sets. Joe is the soldier, Lonny is the master (used loosely) of disguise, Harriet is the all around espionage expert, Murray and Mindy know machines and technology, Jonah has a knack for linguistic patterns — and each person has points in the show where those areas come into focus. So why didn’t Roxy get a moment like that? Why was she always the one carrying out the mission and never the one explaining the situation to the others beforehand? I can’t help but think of her race having something to do with it (both on the actual writers’ side in the lack of scenes written to address her skills and in the story where it’s hinted at that Meyer only uses her for her race rather than her expertise).
