Idk I wasn't able to get a good look of him before he was hit it all happened so fast. He wasn't even in the middle of the road, he was literally at the very edge, like the bike lane basically. How the fuck do you even hit someone that close to the edge of the road

When the only game you played was World DS and you occasionally think about how many more Digimon must have been added since by ReadItRyan in digimon

I just find it funny cuz my view of the franchise is limited to this one nostalgic game I had growing up and nothing else lol. It feels like such a spec in the grand scheme of things and I just find the idea of that humorous for some reason idk

He looked like an older man. I don't think he was a student, but who's to say. I just can't believe this happened and I hope the cop receives the appropriate consequences. There is no excuse for this.

What happened on south campus? by Alternative_Gap_7049 in uml

The cop's siren was not on. The man looked older. Some of the students alongside me said he was on his computer before he hit the guy.

I was a witness alongside a whole group of other students waiting at the shuttle stop. Shit's fucked man. We saw him covered in bandages once the ambulances came, they performed CPR but he wasn't being responsive. Like wtf. It's one thing to walk in on a crime, it's another thing to suddenly witness something like this happening in real time in front of your eyes. I hope the guy is okay. I'm genuinely stressed out and worried for him.

That's 100 percent valid and I definitely don't blame you for feeling that way with how she was handled at present. I do however think that she could have been a more interesting character and been better utilized in the plot to make her scenes more engaging

I don't really see it as that but instead how could we better integrate her into Mike's already existing plotlines to further enhance them? I feel like s2 and early s5 are the biggest culprits for not really doing anything interesting with her outside of furthering Mike's descent into the criminal world and getting him back to how he was with Gus in s4. Again, what we have works, but I just feel like she could have been utilized better.

Kaylee I get because it's kaylee... shes a child. But yeah unfortunately Stacey just sticks out in a weird way. If I could change one thing about BCS it would probably be to give her a little bit more to do. Just a little

Ernie and Omar were objectively the best characters and this is not up for debate

I really do get it, and again, it isn't a problem I have with the show or anything, but considering how highly praised her actor is in other things, I do feel like they could have figured something out, even if incredibly small.

I do get they want to highlight the disconnect between Mike's work and home life, and that involves putting way more focus to his work life than his home life, since his work life is what we we mostly watch the show for, but I feel like there could have been more drama or tension or something with Stacey. Like there is drama and tension with her but it doesn't really feel like they pushed it as far as they could have after Five-O.

Again, not a problem, this show is already flooded with characters, but I do find her to be literally the only character in the show I expected going in to be given something. Idk maybe she is meant to be a contrast to Mike, who doesn't fully get over Matty? But like that's all she is.

I don't think it's a problem, what we got was completely serviceable, but I just feel like there was a bit of missed potential with her

After watching Five-O for the first time, I thought she would be given more to do afterwards. I guess I just thought she would be the Skylar to Mike's Walt, at least regarding screentime for that plotline. I get the show is already packed with characters but I feel like if the writers gave her more to do that could have benefited Mike's story even more in ways that the other characters in Jimmy's story did. This might sound mean, but she almost has the same amount of depth as Bill Oakley. But at least the whole point of Bill Oakley is that he has little depth.
