More second-stage Betas. Logically, if we have Hafs and Chaz, there must be others. Finding out how they came to be and what they're up to would be quite interesting.

Ooh, we need a Bad Beta, too; I would love to see what the PTB could do with a ongoing villain. (At last, a Moriarty for Hafs and Chaz! "We are more alike than you know...MWAH-HAH-HAH!") |

An arc-long villain would be great- maybe a gamma with the presence of mind to locate and organize other gammas to some degree?

Or one who tries and fails. That'd be data too. |

Flashback to the days when the WTF was just Reyes and sometimes Todd. (preferably one of the "sometimes")

The Secret Origin of Todd would be cool. Even if it is more likely A Secret Origin. More on Hafs and her ex-fiance. (Be nice to get the sequence of illness and/or conversion and the departure of said cad. PLus, I'm sure, we'd get enough sympathetic for him to take all the fun out of hating him.) |

Reyes' first encounter with the Anomaly. And why he never sits with his back to a door.
(Coincidence? From these PTB?)

Lots of cops won't sit with their back to a door. I don't think Reyes is unusual in that. I would like to see/hear about his first encounter with the Anomaly though. |

I'll have to take your word for it - I don't know that many cops, and the ones I see in public generally aren't sitting down someplace where there's a choice of back-to-door or not. I would note that Reyes is the only member of this team who won't sit with his back to a door, which makes him unusual for the team. (And the fact that the PTB have mentioned this frequently makes me suspect it's important.) |

Maybe it's the same reason Vlad won't. |

None of them want to sit with their back to a door. He's senior, so he gets the favored seat. Of course, a lot of my gaming/overimaginative/self-dramatic friends in college insisted on that, too. |

I blame my need to sit with the door in front of me to my reading of Dune in middle-school.
(and my knowledge that I'm not as cool as Paul Atreides)

I can't say what it was that made me sit with my back to the wall when I was younger, but nowadays it's the death of Wild Bill Hickok.

I dated a guy who had PTSD (combat vet), and who called the chair that had the best view of the door and the room the "cowboy chair".
