Oh, Bodie in black is one of my kinks - and I speak as a Doyle fanatic. Plus Bodie in the squat in Takeaway...
*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.*
Sorry, I can't work out how to produce italics on LJ either.
Oh, absolutely. And I wasn't complaining. Given all the fic out there I can't think of anyone else who has played with the idea - and you can certainly make an argument for it. For either of them, come to that. But I think it works best if it's Bodie because he does seem the more...repressed - should be a bracket but they seem to disappear on LJ - though that's not exactly the word I'm searching for. Controlled? Obviously you don't emote all over the place while you're in the SAS but keeping such a tight lid on things...
* 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...)*
And we know Bodie's capable of going off half-cocked in MWAP, for instance. Tho there's a bit in that which crushes all my fangirl dreams where he and C know D's missing and show absolutely no concern. Course, I tell myself B's repressing like mad...
That line of D's from DIAG has always intrigued me. I wonder if after 'Rack' he consciously tried to suppress his emotions to avoid risking killing someone again in inappropriate circumstances - or the possibility that he might have done.
Just occurred to me, because I only love the episode for the B/D bits and tend to skip the plot because I know just enough about the law to get really irritated, is Doyle charged with manslaughter? And if not, why not?

Sorry, going way off track here.
I blame you...
