Helpful Hallucination: Whenever Daniel works up a case, his mind creates a hallucination of a person that’s involved or related to the case at hand. | |

Good Is Not Nice | |
Perception (2012) / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Good is Not Nice: Daniel tries really, really hard to be nice, and mostly he succeeds, but his little hallucinatory breakthroughs often don't allow much time for editing, so he often comes off as rude. And the stress of being a paranoid schizophrenic also makes brain-mouth filtering a low priority, which also gets him into trouble on a fairly regular basis. | |

Perception (2012) / int_30adeff3 | comment |
Defective Detective: Daniel Pierce, and how. He tops virtually ever previous incarnation of this trope by being literally unable to differentiate reality from fantasy (though, as he points out in the pilot, his hallucinations are as real to him as this wiki is to us), but he's still enormously perceptive, and his hallucinations often serve as a mechanism for his brain to solve problems faster than his conscious mind would otherwise allow. | |

Perception (2012) / int_46290b93 | comment |
Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Natalie is an interesting deconstruction of this trope. She is hardly impulsive or spontaneous, and her male counterpart certainly is, but like any self-respecting MPDG she is there to serve Daniel's needs. As a total figment of Daniel's imagination Natalie's life pretty much revolves around him, but she is there to be a friend, an intellectual equal, and to give Daniel a grounded perspective to contrast his wild, often irrational ideas. Though her entire existence is literally a male fantasy, he loves her to the point of recklessness for his own well-being. | |

Book Ends: Each episode begins and ends (with the exception of "The Messenger" from season 1) with a lecture from Dr. Pierce that relates to whatever happened in the episode. The first episode ends with Pierce chatting with Natalie, and the audience learning she's not real when Max shows up. The season one finale ends with Pierce sitting on the bench with the woman he based Natalie on, as friends, and Max walking past with a smile. | |

Through the Eyes of Madness: The audience often doesn't know which characters are real and which characters are in Dr. Pierce's head (just as he doesn't) until it is revealed later. For example, we learn only at the end of the first episode that Natalie Vincent isn't real, although we are given clues. | |

Wham Episode: "Shadow": A mysterious man approaches Daniel telling of a political conspiracy regarding a US Senator, and then gets killed right in front of Pierce. The FBI fails to find the body, and Daniel spends the next two days investigating the conspiracy until he confronts the apparent masterminds... only to learn that his entire weekend was all a delusion. He then voluntarily checks himself into a psychiatric hospital, after which the FBI encounters a video taken by the missing murder victim, confirming that Daniel wasn't entirely crazy after all. "Light": Natalie was based on a real person: Daniel's new doctor, Caroline Newsome. It turns out that his memory of meeting Natalie was actually the first instance of his schizophrenia. | |

Perception (2012) / int_a6ff7243 | comment |
Hates Being Touched: When being touched without prompt, Pierce's reactions can vary from taking a suddenly defensive stance to, when coupled with other factors, an outright panic attack. He also takes passive measures to put space between him and others, such as hugging onto his large bag or visibly shrinking away and averting eye contact when faced with a potentially threatening stranger. | |

Amoral Attorney | |
Perception (2012) / int_b5b3599d | comment |
Amoral Attorney: Donnie has a tends to flirt with the fine line. Although he appears to be a fundamentally good guy he's quick to prosecute a possibly innocent suspect and cross ethical lines. | |

Perception (2012) / int_ca3a6dbd | comment |
Informed Ability: Dr Pierce's students laugh uproariously at the jokes he delivers during his lectures. They are not even mildly amusing. Kate is described in-universe as a tough-as-nail, strong-willed FBI investigator, but is actually slightly less intimidating than a plush poodle. | |

"Eureka!" Moment | |
Perception (2012) / int_d129e13e | comment |
"Eureka!" Moment: Daniel's hallucinations allow him to have these quite frequently, since they often work as a means for his unconscious and conscious minds to communicate. And his unconscious, like all of ours, notices everything and never forgets anything. Most people just have a brighter line separating the two. | |

Insane Equals Violent | |
Perception (2012) / int_e57c714d | comment |
Insane Equals Violent: Absolutely defied. Daniel Pierce is schizophrenic and utterly non-violent, virtually none of the mentally ill people he comes across in working for the FBI are violent, and he repeatedly makes the point that people with mental illness are far more likely to be the victims of violent crimes than the perpetrators. A promo clip for the show featured a look at Pierce's "To-Do" list. The second item was "Buy dog food", and the fourth was "Determine whether I actually have a dog". | |
