Off-Campus: MCRP (long term)
Raigeqwitz for Professor Harold Finch - Statistics Teacher
Archetype: The Tenure Ghost. Same yellowed notes since before the main cast was born. Does not learn names. Does not adjust the curve. Does not care. Speaks in a monotone, moves at the speed of a glacier, and is unintentionally hilarious.
Key Students: Theo (the one class he passes — Finch has no idea who he is), V (out-deadpan each other), Eli (tries to negotiate a grade — "no").
Running Bit: Finch occasionally drops a single sentence revealing an extraordinary past — "when I worked at NASA," "my second wife, the ambassador" — and moves on immediately. Never elaborates. The guys become obsessed.
Heart: The endpoint of giving up on passion. Funny and a little sad.

When I worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory — JPL, for those unfamiliar — we used deviation models to calculate launch windows for deep-space probes.
