Huh... I forgot that he went to Cornell. *tries to remember what episode that was in... I know, the world just gave up a collective gasp because I don't know what episode something is in. haha.

I think you've pretty much got it all here. We don't know how old David is... except that he is likely one-two years older than Colby, since David was a rookie in S1 then Colby came in as a rookie in S2. Then again, David wasn't in the Army so he could even be younger than Colby...

Why the heck was he in TelAviv? They've mentioned it more than once but nothing more than "my first assignment." *sighs* We just need more information about David and about Colby. We've clearly learned a lot about their character (which is great, particularly for David in Season 5) but we need more details. LOL.

I think the Cornell epi was Black Swan. I could be wrong...but it was when he and Charlie were talking about Frogger. LOL

Look at you go! You remembered something I didn't. haha. Leave it video games to make you remember. ;p

haha...I know...I can hardly believe it myself!

Do you remember which ep Megan's comment was in? The lack of canon info is driving me batty in determining backstories for my fic universes.

(That would be episode 3.01 - Spree...) :)

Thanks. Due to school, I don't have time to watch the entire third season all the way through, even though I want to.

mustangcandi February 9 2009, 16:29:47 UTC

You are welcome... It's early in the episode when Megan makes the comment (like first 10 minutes) so you won't even have to watch the whole thing. ;p

When you get right down to it we know less about David then we know about Colby.

swingandswirl February 10 2009, 12:02:28 UTC

Which is pretty much a whole lotta nothing to begin with. *glares at PTB*

I'm not so sure that's all that bad, given how they keep messing up the details with Don. I mean, just trying to figure it out when it just *can't* all be true is enough to give you a headache.

Ummm... thats a good question im not sure
but I'm pretty sure even though Alimi is younger than Dylan in real life I'm pretty sure that David is older than Colby or they're a few months apart since Colby was in the army he might have been like 18 when he joined so if you really think about it, David's older than Colby.

csichick_2 February 10 2009, 02:05:27 UTC

Colby did go to college, so assuming he actually did graduate, he most likely wouldn't have joined the Army until he was 22.

mia_dcwut_09 February 10 2009, 02:27:48 UTC

hmmm...oops i forgot that my bad
is it possible he could have done his studies in his first two years if that makes sense

swingandswirl February 10 2009, 12:26:34 UTC

Colby's mentioned being on a wrestling team, and asking pre-med students about the best way to spike punch (naughty boy!) so I'm pretty sure he went to a four-year college.
