Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Inside was a 2005 Police Procedural from Tim Minear and Howard Gordon. It was based around the Violent Crimes Unit in Los Angeles, and a team of profilers that solved particularly brutal crimes. Comprising the team is The Leader Virgil "Web" Webster, his Number Two Paul Ryan, Danny Love, Danny's sidekick Melody Sim, tech genius Carter Howard and rookie agent Rebecca Locke.Web handpicked each member of The Team to fill a role: Paul was The Conscience, frequently serving as Devil's Advocate for Web. Danny was the comic relief and action guy, there to conduct dangerous operations and make everyone laugh. Carter was frequently the Only Sane Man, staying behind his computers. Mel - we have no idea what she was, because everyone else got Character Development but her. Rebecca was the voice of the victims, having been kidnapped and held hostage by a serial killer when she was a girl.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The show was extremely well-written, with such names as Minear, Gordon, Jane Espenson, David Fury, and Ben Edlund on its staff, and delighted in shocking its viewers with gory crime scenes and a fascinating cast of characters.Unfortunately, The Inside had three big things working against it: it debuted the same year as another show about profilers, CBS's Criminal Minds; it was scheduled to air opposite ABC ratings juggernaut Dancing with the Stars; and it was on Fox. Only seven episodes (out of thirteen) were ever aired - in completely random order, of course - and the series was summarily canceled. The moral of the story? Never let Tim work on your show if it's on Fox, as it will be Firefly all over again. Unless you're Joss. Then you'll get two half-seasons. | |

Little Miss Badass | |
| The Inside / int_166e33f3 | comment |
Little Miss Badass: The girl from "Little Girl Lost", who not only survives a march through the woods with a serial killer, she also deals with a rapidly-imbalanced and hallucinating Rebecca. Appropriately, as the girl was herself a hallucination of Rebecca of her Becky George days, Rebecca used to be one of these in her way. Like they said, very few kidnapping victims get home, even fewer make it there on their own. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| The Inside / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Web's hat, which he demonstrates magnificently starting with "New Girl in Town" and keeps on doing in every episode. A good rule of thumb is that whatever is happening, Web's pulling the strings. One of Web's best is in "Thief of Hearts". He bribes a woman to say she witnessed a suspect doing something suspicious, which was enough to get a warrant for the suspect's house, and planted the evidence he committed the crimes. All Paul had to do was not question the woman too much . . . which he doesn't do until three years later, when Web has a better team and can find the real killer. He may have also acquired Stacey Travers' heart and buried it in Pope's garden, so that Paul would find it and "prove" Pope guilty. Is it possible to play Xanatos Speed Chess with various Batman Gambits? Because Virgil Webster does it for shits and giggles. | |

Establishing Character Moment: Rebecca getting stuck in the elevator because she's too busy reading a file to notice it's her floor, as well as carting all her luggage to the VCU because she came straight from LAX. Web interrogating Rebecca, discussing her failed applications to the BAU in DC (no, not that BAU, not yet anyway) and urging her to tell him her initial profile. Paul angrily packing up Alvarez's desk and watching Web's closed door. Mel being upset she didn't know Alvarez better, and asking Paul if she "seemed like a cat person". Danny reading the newspaper, saying they have no leads and offhandedly quipping "any one of us could be next". | |

Kill It with Fire: The serial arsonist in "Point of Origin". The episode also reveals this is how young Rebecca got away from her captor. | |

Gun Nut | |
| The Inside / int_a0412c52 | comment |
Gun Nut: Danny shows elements of this, with his fondness for SWAT/tactical gear. A particular example comes in "Little Girl Lost" where his game of "I'll show you my gun if you show me yours" is used to stealth-disarm the park ranger/UnSub du jour. Then again, he's played by Animal Mother/Col. Casey/The Hero of Canton, so no real surprise there... | |

Monster Fangirl | |
| The Inside / int_a21f81a | comment |
Monster Fangirl: Pope's lawyer, who legitimately thinks he's innocent and seems to have a moment of horror when he taunts the husband of one of his victims with how much he enjoyed killing the man's wife. Interestingly for this trope, Pope actually seems to care for her, as he howls with as much anguish about her death as he did about getting caught. | |

What You Are in the Dark | |
| The Inside / int_afc6df04 | comment |
What You Are in the Dark: Paul would sit by and allow Jason Travers to kill Zora Petticoff and Billy Ray Pope, because Pope isn't a good man and Pope's manipulations indirectly lead to Karen losing their unborn child in a car accident. Rebecca - at eleven years old - would set her kidnapper/molester on fire to escape him. | |

Deconstructed in The Loneliest Number: her drive to survive makes it impossible for her to do her usual 'speak for the victims' whammy because she is literally incapable of empathizing with the desire to end your own life. | |

Dark and Troubled Past: Rebecca Locke. Hoo boy, shall we count? Kidnapped as a small child by a serial killer, held hostage for months. Heavily hinted-at physical and sexual abuse. Only escaped due to a fire she'd set and ended up severely burned for a few years. Joined the FBI, where she's surrounded by a daily reminder of exactly how horrible people can be. | |
