I'm sort of neutral on Det. Paxson, but THIS:
I want to love Jesse because he represents some freaking diversity in our All-White-Main-Cast Miami show, but... UGH :-/
I wanted so, so badly to like him when he came on for this reason, among others (I had faith that the writers were smart enough to avoid the pitfalls exhibited by every show that's added a fresh character midrun; oops.). There's SO much they could do with Jesse to set him apart from the pack(have him be a tech guy! Have him be fluent in linguistics that the rest of the gang haven't mastered!), but he's just NOT. The biggest problem the show has with him is that Jesse is Michael with Fiona's rashness and Sam's ladykilling skills, and his existence has resulted in MUCH less Maddie, less Sam, OOC Fi, Sam and Mike and so much character propping. SO much character propping :p
And I really don't envy CB, because he was thrust into the intense and extremely well-acted and written chemistry that GA/JDo/BC/SG have. The problem with his existence on the show is that Jesse just isn't needed as a full-time character. He doesn't have the kind of believable chemistry with any of the characters.
