Joseph's character of Mark Benford has the most pressure of any in the show I think. He sees his marriage fall apart and doesn't even know if he'll survive past his flashforward as he is up against what looks like very well-trained bad guys with guns, inside of his office! And on top of that, he is given the task (along with his partners Noh and Hawk) of solving the enigma that has killed tens of millions of people once and finding a way of stopping it in case it might reoccur. And his first domino that falls is his daughter's gift of a friendship bracelet that seems to say he's screwed. Next stop is eBay, looking for a metal flask. Second is making a neck-sized "friendship bracelet" for Lloyd Simcoe, hee. :biggrin: Good luck, Benford!

He knows his wife is shacking up with someone else six months from now. He has to put up with his partner, who's attitude has changed since he found out he is going to die. His boss is now questioning his work. Wow! How much pressure can this guy take with taking a drink?
