Quotes
Charlie Eppes: Larry... something went wrong, and I don't know what. And now it's like I can't even think.
Dr. Larry Fleinhardt: Well let me guess. You tried to solve a problem involving human behavior and it blew up in your face.
Charlie Eppes: Yeah, pretty much.
Dr. Larry Fleinhardt: Okay, well, Charles, you are a mathematician. You're always looking for the elegant solution. But human behavior is rarely, if ever, elegant.
[sighs]
Dr. Larry Fleinhardt: The universe if full of these odd bumps and twists. You know, perhaps you need to make your equation less elegant, more complicated, less precise, more descriptive. It's not going to be as pretty, but it might work a little better. And Charlie, when you're working on human problems, there's going to be pain and disappointment. You've gotta ask yourself, is it worth it?

I'm in Love with Charlie Epps!

I had sincerely hoped that "Numb3rs" would have a long & exciting run. Coming from me, that is usually a jinx. Alas, the run was long (in TV-time) of 5 seasons.

Realistic relationships underlie the entire series; Charlie is both geek AND educator. I love that Charlie has all of the real emotions: fear, anger, pride, innocence, confusion, etc. It must be difficult for Dad and Don to keep up with a mind that moves at the speed of light (I'll let Charlie explain the theory).

As with all series with solid character development, it was hard to see the epic end. I'm happy to be able to get my fix on a regular basis to keep my fantasy love affair with Charlie alive. Wouldn't it be great if they did a "reunion" show (at least 2 hours long).
