I'm not sure we have one anyway. Roko being a cop doesn't mean anything in the story as far as I can tell (at least, it hasn't since the CW storyline) except that it restricts the possibilities of interaction with other cast members.
--- Quote from: Rimwolf on 19 Sep 2018, 12:37 ---My hunch is that Jeph likes Roko too, and feels like he can do more interesting stories with her character if she's not a cop.
(I like Roko too!)

Seconded. Or thirded. Or something.
Is it cold in here?:

--- Quote from: Tova on 18 Sep 2018, 15:57 ---Do you believe that some are truly irredeemable?

Some people have a VERY road to redemption. And some of them actively rrefuse to walk in the right direction until they have a near miss.
Basically, some people are probably only getting into Heaven by repenting on their deathbed.

There was some American Psychologist who defined that attitude as "evil" - people who intellectually understand their behaviour is harmful, have the capacity to make moral judgements and modify their behaviour, but ... walk the other way.
I think IICIH mentioned his name here a few times ... :psyduck:

Scott Peck, "People of the Lie".
One interesting thing is that he worked in prisons and said that while he found a lot of destructive and dangerous people there, very few met his definition of evil.

Eh? "{I}t restricts the possibilities of interaction with other cast member" is Fake News.
What sorts of characters to TV dramas revolve around? Doctors, lawyers, and cops with the occasional paramedic or private investigator, etc.
It's how series writers get their protagonists' noses into other peoples' business without making them busybodies.
Clergy works too, but notice that they usually get teamed up with a cop. Outside of comedies and sitcoms, cops make up a substantial proportion of TV's main characters.

Really? There are TV shows centred around police? Goodness. Tell me more.
