This probably isn’t particularly interesting to anyone but me, but I’m doing my crime drama comfort show thing at the moment and I went full Autism Brain over Silent Witness the other day and gathered a whole bunch of Data(TM) about a thing, and I figured I might as well share it.

So, Silent Witness did this thing for a full 7 seasons (9-15) where it swapped around the order of the lead actors’ names in the opening credits depending on... some sort of metric of who was most prominent in a given episode. I don’t know if it’s number of lines or screentime or something else entirely, I’d have to do much more exhaustive research than just skipping through the opening credits to determine that, but the important thing is that it’s A Thing They Did. And it was clearly a thing to indicate that all three main actors were on an even footing when it came to billing, none of them more The Main Character than the others, but I’ve been idly wondering for years whether the data actually supports them being equal. So I went through every opening sequence where they did that and took notes.

Here’s the actual data, using character names rather than actors because that’s what I’m actually interested in:

Across the 72 episodes that Harry, Leo and Nikki were all in, and where they did the credits swap thing, Harry was billed first 20 times, Leo 25 and Nikki 27. Which, frankly, is a discrepancy I’m a little miffed about because 90% of the time I’m there for Harry.

Second billing is completely different: Harry was 2nd 31 times, Leo 20 and Nikki 21. Which is Much more of a difference in numbers, and really kind of fascinating. I don’t actually know how many times that 2nd slot represents playing supporting character to the focus character of the episode vs being the lead in the b-plot, that’s another one that would require more research, but it’s really interesting how Harry plays second fiddle so often. (It makes sense, though. As close as Nikki and Leo are, Harry’s closer to each of them than they are to each other.)

And then the third spot has a similar distribution to the first, with Harry at 20, Leo at 27 and Nikki at 24. Which, you might note, doesn’t add up to 72, thanks to a Rather Fucking Rude stunt that they pulled in Bloodlines pt2 in order to makes us think that they’d killed Harry off For Real, namely leaving Tom Ward’s name out of the opening sequence entirely. Cruel and unusual, frankly, but also a very clever way to preserve the tension, I have to give them that.

So, Nikki is 1st most often of the three of them, Harry is 2nd by far the most often, and Leo is 3rd most often.

BUT, dear reader, because if you’ve bothered to read this far into my nonsense I do very much appreciate you, I didn’t stop there. Since every Silent Witness storyline is a two-parter, I wondered how often the credits order stayed the same from part one to part two, and in what ways people were swapped around when it didn’t.

The answer is that, across 36 two-part storylines, 21 of them retained the same credits order from part 1 to part 2, and 10 of them maintained the same lead character but swapped the positions of the other two. When the lead character didn’t keep that spot in the second part, fascinatingly they were only ever moved to third place, never second, which happened the remaining 5 times. And within those five, the only change was 1 -> 3 twice, and the other three times everyone swapped position, shuffling one position to the left if you picture them on a number line. (So, 3->2, 2->1 and then 1 looping back to 3.) So, no one was ever demoted to second place, only ever promoted into it, if you want to think of it like that. It’s an interesting pattern.

And then, finally, I wanted to know which order of names was the most common. It goes like this:

Nikki-Harry-Leo: 19

Leo-Nikki-Harry: 13

Harry-Leo-Nikki: 12

Leo-Harry-Nikki: 12

Harry-Nikki-Leo: 8

Nikki-Leo-Harry: 8

Some of the interesting things to be gleaned from that: if Nikki is the lead character, it’s far and away Harry that’s in the second spot rather than Leo; it’s about even who plays second fiddle to Leo when he’s in the lead, which is interesting, and I’d be willing to bet that it’s more often that Nikki has her own plotline and Harry is in support of both of them; and when Harry is in the lead role it’s more often Leo who is second rather than Nikki. I really would have to go through each episode individually and pick out which are instances of a-plot/b-plot/support vs a-plot/support/b-plot vs everyone has their own case, etc. to be able to say much more about that, but there are definitely some interesting trends just from these numbers.

And there you have it! Stats on a crime drama from more than a decade ago that I care way too much about and frequently get Autism Brain over. Like I said, probably only interesting to me, but here they are anyway. Someone bonk me on the head with a cardboard tube or spray me with water or something every time I think ‘actually, it would be really interesting to know for sure what sort of plotline setup is more common within those credit orders...’ because if I start trying to figure that out I really will waste hours on it rather than doing anything productive.

#silent witness #harry cunningham #leo dalton #nikki alexander #i'm main tagging this because what the hell why not #these are the kinds of things i end up doing when i decide to really indulge my brain in its nonsense #just you wait until i finish (re)watching criminal minds with my flatmate #and do something with the data we're been recording over the fate of each unsub and how many people each main character has killed #might as well make a tag for this kind of thing because i probably will end up doing it again #Crime Drama Time #personal stuff

10th Anniversary of the Agents of SHIELD Premiere

10 years ago today we…

Saw Coulson again for the first time since his death in Avengers over a year ago!

Met Ward with his impressive assessment by Hill! Though were all not sure about him yet.

Met Skye and wondered who she was!

Met FitzSimmons for the first time and… wait they’re two people? Okay...

Met Fitz and Simmons for the first time and instantly decided that they are to be protected at all costs!

Met May and, just like Ward, wondered why she's just the pilot!

Decided, just like Skye, to join the SHIELD team and, even though were didn't know it yet, go on one crazy journey for the next 7 years!

I think I’m gonna do this for every episode, what do you think?

If you want to be tagged, send me an ask or comment on this post!

i’m rewatching agents of shield and looking at old media from when it aired and i just gotta say….. ward apologists are some of most annoying people on earth.

like don’t get me wrong, he’s an interesting character. but he’s a villain. let him be a villain and just enjoy it!! stop trying to make him this poor abandoned baby in the woods that needs protection. he dropped fitzsimmons out of a plane, he tortured bobbi. he willingly followed an evil man without caring about the consequences, then blamed him for all of his own actions and choices.

he’s weak minded, sadistic, & arrogant, which makes him a bad person, but a really fun villain.

#brett dalton #brett dalton did an amazing job as ward!!!! everyone say thank you brett #marvel #agents of shield #marvel’s agents of shield #grant ward #phil coulson #daisy johnson #fitzsimmons #leo fitz #melinda may #bobbi morse #lance hunter #hail hydra #i love villains #but come on

Today in ‘self indulgent art drawn while I was too exhausted to do Actual Work Art’: Leo (left) and Harry (right) from Silent Witness, one of those shows I always go back to when I need something friendly and familiar. (Which is a Wild way to describe a frequently very gory show about forensic pathology, but we all have our comfort shows.)

Various technique experiments happened (using brown ink for some of the lines, varying the skin tones because Harry is Very pale and Leo has a more olive skin tone, using a grey pen for hair texture, etc), but mostly this was an exercise in redrawing a screencap that I like. ‘Intent’ is an episode full of moments of these two having a bit of a Gay Thing(TM) going on, it’s fun. Sometimes you’ve just got to read queer subtext into crime drama episodes from more than a decade ago, it’s good for you.

#personal stuff #artistic endeavours #don't ask me what the metric is for posting stuff here vs the art blog i don't even know #but this one was exclusively for my own entertainment so it goes here #harry cunningham #leo dalton #silent witness

One thing that always hurts me when I think about it and sadly, I think about it a lot is how Ward's and Fitz's stories parallel each other.

How in the series Ward is this damaged guy with horrible upbringing, and a mentor, who is literally working for Nazi organization. And Fitz is this incredibly smart guy that's working for s.h.i.e.l.d and is all innocent and stuff.

And in Framework at they are total opposites of themselves, but also they are the same as the other. So, Fitz has this mentor, his father that is obviously a horrible human being. That is influencing Fitz to become a monster and Ward has Victoria Hand as mentor and is on the right track with morals and humanity in him.

And also the way their deaths parallel each other is very interesting.

Because when Ward dies on Maveth he becomes a vessel that brings death to the world and when Fitz dies in season 5 he's literally changing history and saving the future that they came back from, where Earth is destroyed.

So, yeah, I just think about it a lot, and it makes me sad. So now you have to think about it too.

S1 E17 Agents of Shield 10th Anniversary

10 years ago today we…

Came back after watching Winter Soldier and were not ready for this episode!

Squealed at the SkyeWard kiss!

Gasped as Garrett is revealed as the Clairvoyant! (I loved Bill Paxton so much in this role and I was shocked at this reveal!)

Awed at this cute FitzSimmons reunion. Fitz’s face when holding Simmons! Like he never wants to let her go!

Shed a few tears at Trip’s reaction to Garrett being taken away. (Also, Ward’s face at seeing Trip yelling at Garrett broke me & it convinced me that Ward didn’t have anything to do with HYDRA)

Are stuck staring at the TV with jaws dropped at this stunning revelation. (This honestly was the biggest plot twist in TV history! Change my mind! I dare you!)

Me the whole episode
