Jim is often the last person to arrive somewhere, either at the squad or at a crime scene. I wonder why.
It starts in the Pilot. The detectives are all at their desks, working (correction: Karen is working while Tom and Marty are discussing deodorant), and Fisk is in his office, on the phone, when Jim shows up.
After fighting to get his job back, wouldn't he have wanted to be early on his first day back? We know he got up early, at 5:32 a.m.
Then, in "Up on the Roof," by the time Jim arrives on the second day, the whole squad is in Fisk's office, where the contractor has already provided an alibi for Titus.
Then, in "Doggone," he is the last to arrive at Bud's apartment. The rest of the squad has apparently been there for some time, and Karen has already interviewed a neighbor.
So what's up with this? Is Jim one of those people who's chronically late? Do the writers and directors want Jim and Hank to make an entrance? (I have no problem with that!) Does it take longer for Jim to do things, making him late? But wouldn't that be a reason for him to make a special effort not to be late? Is he spending too much time fighting with Christie in the mornings?
I hope someone will explain this to me.
