Heh heh. I think the way my brain works is more like Vecchio's, but I get Kowalski pretty well probably 'cause my mom is from Detroit, and though she's been in CA for many years, we've still got family back there. So, the voice comes through pretty easily, and his motivations are fairly open for me.
As the character is written he's this odd combination of THISCLOSETOPANICKING and absolute bravery once he gets past that. Complains *constantly* but you notice he doesn't give up. Threatens to. Does not. It's just his way of working things out out loud, whereas Fraser does it all internally.
Watched MotB last night, and that early scene nearly broke my heart. After he's popped Fraser everything about Ray's body language, everything in his face is practically screaming, "Talk to me talk to me, I need you to talk to me!" but instead Fraser just turns and walks away, 'cause he's not *listening.* And then *I* wanted to pop him, 'cause I can't understand how he can not see that Ray's body is shouting at him to stay. (g'head, watch Ray in that pullback shot, when Fraser's walking away, there's this little, helpless gesture that just... *weeps*)
See? Ray I get. Fraser, not so much. *joins you in the headdesk*
