Out of all the (literally) thousands of words I've written about Edward Little, nothing feels quite as validating as what Dave K had to said about him during the Tuunbaq attack. It is nowhere in the script that Little freezes; in fact when that moment was brought up, he called it an "unfortunate souvenir" of the director and said that "I didn’t understand it and I thought it looked, um… I get why he tried it, I just wish we’d had other takes to work with."
This to me is worth mentioning because I think so much of the fandom characterization of Little as practically paralyzed with anxiety, rendered useless by any snap decision or tense situations, is based on the combination of this moment and the opening of the armory. I would (and have, elsewhere, at length) argued that there was no good way for Little to shut the armory back down, to get any of those weapons back, or to stop it from happening. And this - this moment of "panic" is while technically canonical not at all intended as part of Little's larger arc and characterization. I have to agree with Dave K that it doesn't make sense - this is not Little's first encounter with the tuunbaq; in previous episodes he had no trouble at all leaping into action. I would actually love to know what the director's rationale was (and what McNulty thought of it) because it does seem out of character.
Edward is the one who without fail keeps going, takes up the slack, does what needs to be done. The only way I can really rationalize it is that so much is happening he may be unable to triage: that is, does he fight back, does he follow the escaping mutineers, does he try to get men to safety? That's not how it's played, it's played as a freeze response, but even with that being canonical I wish it didn't play such an outsize role in the overall conception of his character.
