I love Colin so much. I feel his pain and whenever something goes wrong with my code from now on I am and will continue blaming it on the entity I know dogshit about stuck in my computer who just doesn't want to cooperate. Netbeans crashes all the time? That damned entity acting up again let me just break all cameras on sight real quick
As a future computer scientist he is my everything. He is peak representation. I *will* riot if something ever happens to him
third episode of Protocol just confirmed what I sort of started thinking after the first episode: Colin the IT guy is absolutely my favorite character. a middle-aged, maybe a little balding man, in a funky off-yellow sweater with some nondescript knit patterns on it, stuck in a governmental branch that the government forgot about, having to deal with people up top not understanding what the hell a computer even is, stuck with users that sass him at any and every opportunity (it's self-defence for Alice, and it's the only form of entertainment Colin gets, but years of terrible jokes wear a person down), trying to figure out this program with weird proprietary code (in German for some reason) on an OS that will stutter if you sneeze near it (Win NT 4.0), being the person who knows the most about this weirdness and yet still knowing nothing... he's so real to me
also, I fully believe that in a cast of diverse and queer characters Colin is not just the token cishet man, he's Just A Normal Man TM. the one you imagine working a corporate IT job who's been stuck at it for 8 years or maybe even more. truly transition goals for me lol
