#Russ is a scuzzball billionaire in that too and it is extremely satisfying to watch Lisbon take him down. I wish she'd gotten to gloat

Least favorite character?

When I remember that he exists it's Russ. Bad guys insist on calling Mac "Angus." He just seemed kind of skeevy and slippery to me, and I kept expecting the story to reveal he had sinister or at least extremely selfish plans and was using Mac and the Phoenix for his own nefarious purposes.

Otherwise, it's James. Bad guys insist on calling Mac "Angus." But James serves my purposes and makes Jack's character even more compelling. I wouldn't trust the show to handle it well, but I think he offers a lot for the fanfic authors to use and explore

Have you learned any Mac Hacks?

I haven't finished writing it yet but years ago I found this article about this group of doctors who were on a hiking/climbing trip and intubated and bagged an injured hiker with a water bladder until a rescue team could get to them.

Last winter, I was able to test the "use your car's floor mats for traction if you get stuck in snow or ice." And in theory I know how to get out of quicksand. I've written very few Mac Hacks.

What’s your favorite cold open?

I love the conversation and belt grab of 1x02, and Riley imitating Jack so Mac can think of 2x21 but I think my favorite has to be 1x12. We've got the vocal styling of Jack Dalton. Drugged Jack unable to hold back how he really feels. Jack thinking for a minute that Mac was shot and is dying on the other side of the door. And a great big hug
