Would you like Foster to come back again?
I liked him. He was a cool character. Although I think that his is secretly working for Novacom/Andromade/the Chairman.
I think it be okay if he came back for another few episodes, but I wouldn't want him to be a semi-regular character. He seems more like a character who enters to serve a purpose, fulfills that purpose, then disappears. Kind of like Agent Borland. We did hear him a bit outside of his Andromeda role, but I would be surprised if we heard from him again. I'm sure that he was never meant to have a regular role on AIO, and Dr. Foster will probably be similar.
I don't think Dr. Foster is crooked. Sure that made for a nice conspiracy theory but nothing happened in the last three shows.
I'm not real keen on Dr. Foster coming back because he's voiced by Matt Hurwitz. There's nothing wrong with the actor but his voice is unique so when I hear it I think of Roy from "Share and Share Alike" and Frank Montrage from the Last Chance Detectives show "The Day Ambrosia Stood Still."
I like Borland's voice better...

Roy's voice was a bit more over-the-top, but I agree with Chandler on the Frank thing.
Just a couple days ago I was flipping through my Complete Guide, and I remember being surprised at something that I read about Matt Hurwtiz in there, but for the life of me I can't remember what is was, and my Guide is at home, and I'm at school, so I can't check. On the HQ is just says that he played Mr. Jefferson, so that can't be it - the Guide is older than that! Maybe I got his name confused with somebody else's...

I personally don't have an sentimental attachments to Foster. Get rid of him, bring him back, it really doesn't matter to me. I highly doubt he'll be a regular character in the future, but I can definitely see the writers bringing him back if and when another technological sci-fi type saga surfaces. But I don't think AIO plans on another one of those for a very, long time. I think they need to return to the more "average day" episodes that encapsulates the daily routines and struggles of people's lives.
I totally agree. He should be like Borland, Glossman, etc. A well know character, but one that doesn't show up too often. Unfortunately, this is the type of character that is very easy to overuse.AIO PSYCHE wrote:Good point. He needs to be like Richard Maxwell, God rest his soul. He should be mysterious, yet a good guy. And he should only show up when he's needed.
That's true that he's Mr. Jefferson.Catspaw wrote:Just a couple days ago I was flipping through my Complete Guide, and I remember being surprised at something that I read about Matt Hurwtiz in there, but for the life of me I can't remember what is was, and my Guide is at home, and I'm at school, so I can't check.

What probably surprised you was the fact that Matt Hurwitz played Rodney Rathbone on one episode. "Like Father, Like Son" to be specific.
He did a great job of filling in as Rodney that day... he wasn't a perfect match but he did well at it. When I used to listen to the ep I always thought Rodney sounded a bit strange... so I thought that maybe his actor was sick. Once I got the Complete Guide I found out the truth.

Ha, I was rather disturbed when I heard Rodney that episode. I was like, huh? What happened to the real Rodney?!Chandler wrote:That's true that he's Mr. Jefferson.Catspaw wrote:Just a couple days ago I was flipping through my Complete Guide, and I remember being surprised at something that I read about Matt Hurwtiz in there, but for the life of me I can't remember what is was, and my Guide is at home, and I'm at school, so I can't check.

That's it! Thanks, Chandler! You're my new hero! (Well, almost...)What probably surprised you was the fact that Matt Hurwitz played Rodney Rathbone on one episode. "Like Father, Like Son" to be specific.

I agree. If he were voiced by a different person, I think it would be a good idea for him to come back. But like Chandler noted, and Shadowpaw also mentioned in his review of the three-parter, the fact that we've heard him so often before (esp. as the villian on "The Day Ambrosia Stood Still"), kinda ruins him for us.Chandler wrote:I don't think Dr. Foster is crooked.

True, but I just noticed that by part 2, I had completely forgotten about him sounding like Frank.Evil Chick wrote: But like Chandler noted, and Shadowpaw also mentioned in his review of the three-parter, the fact that we've heard him so often before (esp. as the villian on "The Day Ambrosia Stood Still"), kinda ruins him for us.
Indeed. Dr. Foster ... I'd rather not see him back.Frank wrote:Dr. Foster wasn't all that interesting of a character. He served his purpose here, and now it's time for him to go. If we're going to be bringing characters back...why don't we try for some with more depth and feeling?
I liked what they did with Borland. He seems like Mr. Emotionless FBI agent when you hear him during the Novacom saga but then we get to hear him interact with his family in Washington D. C. It's amazing how you can gain a totally different perspective on people when you know them in a different setting.
