- "The Group" is a name given to a group of six ex-police officers who are behind the missing $18 million from the Bank of Los Angeles Shootout and the framing of Charlie Crews on the Seybolt murders. They include Jack Reese, Mickey Rayborn, (possibly) James Dunn and three other unnamed members. The name "The Group" has never been addressed within the series. It is just a title generally adopted by the media outside the show. The number of people in this group has only been addressed once by an unidentified man as he relates a message from the other members of The Group to Reese, "You go back a long way, but, not for nothing. There was six, there is five, there could just as easily be four." At the Bank of Los Angeles Shootout, Reese was the SWAT team leader in charge. He and his men stole the missing $18 million behind the scene. Unknown to Charlie Crews, his friend Tom Seybolt was doing money laundering for The Group through the bar he and Crews own. When The Group found out Seybolt skimming, they killed him and his wife and son. Only his 9-year old daughter Rachel survived. They framed Crews for the murders and he was convicted and sent into prison for 12 years until proven innocent with DNA. While Dunn was reported to be killed by an accidental gun discharge and believed to have actually commited suicide in 1988, the conversation between Jack Reese and the unidentified man seems to insinuate that Dunn was in fact killed by The Group. Crews has a news cutting on James Dunn's funeral. There are 5 police officers in the article's photo. Reese is in the front, and the one on the left has been identified by Mrs. Dunn as Mickey Rayborn. The other three in the photo have not been recognized, and whether they are also the other three members of The Group is still unclear. Rayborn reveals in Episode 2-15: I Heart Mom about the shootout, "That was just the start. We took a lot more over the next few years. That was the plan: Steal everything we could get our hands on, and then get out." He says Jack Reese's "crisis of faith came early. Jack never kept a dime, stayed a cop, gave his cash to charity." He also admits that Roman Nevikov is one of their "investments", yet they still have to put him away. Jack Reese is revealed to have been killed at the hand of Roman Nevikov.
- Considered apart of the Gamer Stoner stereotype (see STONER). Greg is a tall, white kid who loves to play video games, go snowboarding, watch movies, and chill out with friends. When he's not playing video games he's usually on the internet. [talking to his e-boyfriend] Greg is known to be obsessed with video games. He has a very large collection of games spanning from the Super Nintendo up to the Wii and 360. Currently he plays the 360 the most because it isn't a little kid system with tacked on motion controls that don't add to the experience and it doesn't have a shitty online system. [aka greg is a sellout because he used to suck the cock of the wii] Greg is currently not an active stoner for personal reasons (trying to get a job [not real reason]).
- The Group (Rus: Группа) was an unofficial name for a clandestine research organization formed in the Chernobyl Zone of Exclusion following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
- Basically, a sub-trope of Names to Run Away From Really Fast that applies specifically to a group or organization, as well as the Super-Trope under which several others fall (such as Ancient Conspiracy and Government Agency of Fiction). The Group does not have any proper nouns in its name. This is meant to convey just how ancient, mysterious, clannish, secretive, powerful, and connected it is. It is not "The Silford Group". It is simply...The Group. The Group is typically some form of Ancient Conspiracy, Government Agency, or Very Powerful Crime Syndicate. Even more likely, The Group will be some combination of some or all of the above, such as an ancient and extremely highly-trained order that traces its origins back to the time when it was an Egyptian mystery religion, today has deadly assassins and The Men in Black counted among its many agents, is technically an ancillary part of the United States government and, oh yeah, manages a large underground criminal empire as well. If there's a Masquerade going on in your world, The Group is, de rigueur, the first ones in and the last ones out to deal with anything related to it. If it gets broken, that's on them. Even if The Group is evil, which they may well be, they may often try to cover up The Masquerade in an attempt to utilize whatever it is for their own ends, and thus do the world some good by keeping it ignorant and safe. Whether it is mystical, supernatural, or horrific beings, creatures, phenomena or MacGuffins, things of alien origin, superhumans and related paraphernalia, examples of advanced technology, time travelers and the difficulties they create, various types of monsters, demons, or whatever other Green Rocks or Weirdness Magnets may be around in a world, you can be assured The Group will be there to either hunt and destroy them, try to manipulate and use them, or simply watch and contain them. Oh, and it should go without saying that if anyone is in charge of The Group, yes, it will be an Omniscient Council of Vagueness. It's also entirely possible to have two Groups in the world. Often, they will be fighting a war in the shadows, this will be the basis for an Arc (story or myth), typically with one fighting behind the scenes to protect the world, and the other secretly trying to destroy or corrupt it. The Group may be several decades old (for example, formed around World War II or the Cold War), several hundred years old (for example, dating from around the time of the Industrial Revolution and the American and French Revolutions), several thousand years old (originating in Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, or Ancient Egypt), as old as human civilization itself (as soon as one cavemen invented fire, two others got together on the other side of the cave and whispered to eachother that they had better keep an eye on this, and thus The Group was born), or older than time itself (humans may serve The Group, but some very definitely non-humans founded, and control, it). Examples of The Group include:
