Capt Raydor is the kind of character that could single handedly sink an otherwise popular series. This one dimensional martinet was probably added as a hurdle for the protagonist but they went to far. Who knows if this portrayal was the idea of the writers and producers or the actor. But, no matter this character is painful to watch. And I think is irritating enough to hurt rating for the show. In any organization there are people working against the flow. But not to this extreme. And apparently I don't understand the rank structure of the Los Angles Police Department. It doesn't seem to make sense that a Captain could ignore the wishes of a Deputy Chief as this character does in this episode and the next. I can only hope the producers and writers will kill off this character and find some other way to challenge the regular cast.
