This is probably the last post that I will get to make on this since someone took a bottle of stupid pills and decided to get rid of the boards.
I do not like the character played by Meredith Eaton. There are a lot of people who have worked for a living who have had a boss like her. One who rules by intimidation and belittling their subordinates and goes out of their way to remind the staff that who is boss and the peons serve at their pleasure. She is creating a very hostile work environment. Please try again. -

I think she's trying to figure out if these guys are "Thornton's team" or "Phoenix's team". In old series "Matt Webber" was a bad guy - took over Pete's job after forcing him into early retirement. Whether this "Matti Webber" is a bad guy or a good guy I think she needs to know what side Thornton's go to team is on. She knows Jack but she doesn't know the others. She's not trying to rule through intimidation or belittling, she's just trying to get the upper hand and figure them out. She actually admitted to Mac that she has some respect for Jack because she understands the way he works. She's giving Mac the chance to prove his way works. She actually showed respect to Bozer for having the guts to go to her when he felt he had information that could make a difference. She's giving Riley a chance, and with her background most wouldn't.

Not trying to be rude to be fair I've only seen her character for a few seconds and maybe in time it might be change but I just couldn't take her serious as a boss. And your really telling me jack dated her? Does he date any female coworker?

I completely agree! She is ruining the show for me and I really liked it before. If this Matty character continues this show will be finished! Her acting is horrible and she is abrasive and doesn't fit in.

I thought her first scene with the team last episode was really awkward. It was so awkward that it took me out of the show and you felt like these were all actors saying lines to each other instead of me buying into the make believe that they were characters.
It might just be that it was her first day on set and she hasn't gotten down her dynamic with the cast yet. But so far it is looking bad.
I liked Sandrine Holt as Thornton. She came off very wooden and cold but that was the character. She is supposed to be this stern take-no-sht ice queen. -

Sandrine Holt was the reason I started watching this show in the first place. I was never a fan of the original series but the cast (minus MacGyver, ironically, and his room mate friend) have kept me watching. I'm not sure will be able to put up with the new boss. Time will tell.

I still find myself wondering if its coincidence that she has the female name of the guy (Matt Webber) from the original series who framed Pete Thornton and got him thrown out of Phoenix or is it foreshadowing of a future plot.
