            This includes the commons type, fictional characters, and has one property 'The Beat' which is where you can classify the character as belonging to the 'Police', 'Gangs', 'Schools', etc...

            If you guys can think of a better name for the property or its values - I'm all ears, but this should let us add the characters into the appropriate buckets and then we can create different views for each 'beat'. Sound good?

              I've imported the 45 characters  into the type and labled the Police.

              i like the type a lot but think the categories should use the names that HBO does:

              http://www.hbo.com/thewire/cast/

              The Law

              The Street

              The Paper

              The Hall

              The School

              The Port

              Thoughts?

              Makes perfect sense. Feel free to change them, or I can when I get a minute.

              Me too. I thought some interesting types could be to split the characters into the cops and the street players.

              added you both - glad for the help and ideas.  I've mainly been working on filling out cast and their images so far.  Looks like someone did all the episodes for seasons one and two, for which made views.

              Cool. I'm working on a header image - if this one looks good, I'll make it bigger so it fits a little better.

              I just finished up the rest of the season views.  Will start to pull in guest stars I think
