Well! I'm on a borrowed laptop, and saw this, and had to sneak in a reply! *g* There is something about Bodie all dressed in black, isn't there?
I don't actually agree with it, given the evidence in canon Yes, but that's just because he's so good at hiding it...! *g* I was playing with the characterizations a bit, admittedly, but...I don't know, it is kind of intriguing to think about. How much of what we are depends on what we choose to be? He clearly is the cool, efficient agent that we see...yet maybe that's because he knows what he might be, if he doesn't have control... Anyway, it's fun to speculate about. (And the same with Doyle. I see him as passionate and caring on the show, but there is that line from DIAG about how he didn't care enough...)
I am so pleased that you heard the Clash! I honestly don't know where this came from, except that it truly did spring from thinking about the concept of punk rock--the intent, the reality, and the feel of it. And the Clash, in many ways, were perhaps most true to the image.
