MATT FLANNERY (Ron Livingston, "Sex and the City," "House") and EMILY LEHMAN (Rosemarie DeWitt, "Cinderella Man") are the top-ranked negotiators in the FBI's Crisis Negotiation Unit (CNU). They're trained to talk their way through volatile situations. They're experts at knowing what makes other people tick. They're also sleeping together ... a secret that they agreed to keep to themselves, until Matt reveals it to the entire world during a tense hostage standoff. The public revelation causes friction between Matt, who relies on gut instinct, and Emily, an academic who analyzes every move. /*Their relationship also gets them into major trouble with their boss _CHERYL CARRERA_ (Gina Torres, "Alias," "Firefly," "24"), head of the Los Angeles CNU, */and raises eyebrows among their CNU colleagues, including intelligence officer LIA MATHERS (Raquel Alessi, "Ghost Rider"). While Matt and Emily really should be split up for being romantically involved, they're too valuable as a team. Together, they're among the best in their field; Cheryl knows it, and they know it. Ultimately, they all agree that if the personal relationship ends, the pair can still work together. It's great in theory ... but it proves to be a little tougher in practice. i am SO glad "xena" torres is getting (sorry xt, couldn't resist the pun - - i believe gina torres is really a xena type) more roles. i was so frustrated watching her in firefly, which i saw for the first time last year. because compared to the other stars, even though she got second billing, it's as if she wasn't there with the dialogue she was given. and evidenced therewith in her acting. unlike cleopatra 2525, where to me she was THE outstanding actor, so that the question was not about her ability to act, but more her being supported by directors, other actors, to be "famous." be outstanding and powerful. made me wonder (yes i'm about to say this word out loud...oh my : 0 ) that there might have been a bit of racism running on the show firefly - ? so i hope she really has some good show time on this one to act well, show her power and abilities. lilli ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.
