DMZ/Fridge

Fridge Brilliance

• Matty Roth, is increasingly becoming a Che Guevara parallel. Like Che, Matty starts off as a non-combatant looking to do some good. (Albeit a reporter instead of a doctor). He becomes increasingly stricken by what he sees and and passionate about a cause. (In Matty's case the welfare of the people in the DMZ). Both get taken under the wing of a charismatic, rabble-rouser leader looking to come into power. Both abandon their non-combatant profession to further support the cause. Matty even gets accused by the propaganda network Liberty News of running a "death squad", and at times his hair and beard get increasingly long and ragged, although not quite Che style. Since the series isn't over yet, it remains to be seen if Matty winds up the same or not. -- The Wanderer
