GNRF Yes Riley could hav been nicer and calmer, that's the point she was disrespectul to him, it's none of her business the talk to her 'elder' in such a manner, he can do what he wants, how he wants to, she's not his boss:alienblush: question what was the point of this episode, other to see a bunch of losers scrambling hiding, ripping off, killing about for these stupid poker chips. and I don't think every season fiinale has to be dismal or deplorable or a cliff hanger, but how about more of the team and what's going on with them especially in a season finals~ Greg's book for instance, and who was Rita, Brass's old time 'friend' or Langston's past, things like that
She is his superior. She gave an order and he didn't follow it. If anyone was being disrespectful, it was Ray. Regardless, Riley's age is totally irrelevant. What is relevant are her credentials -- she has the experience and knowledge and has done the work to earn her position. She deserves his respect based on the work she's put in, not based on her age. And she also deserves Ray's respect based on having saved his butt in 'No Way Out,' when she clearly proved that she knew how to handle situations with guns better than he does.
By that logic (that all "elders" should be "respected" in such a way in a professional setting like that one), Greg would have to be obsequious toward every stubborn suspect that was older than him. It just doesn't make sense. I'm all for being respectful toward people, including people who are older, but Ray being older doesn't preclude him from following the rules. He's going to work as a CSI 1, not as a fifty-whatever-year-old.
No, he can't. He's putting everyone at the scene -- including Riley -- in danger when he does something stupid. What if the guy had pulled out his gun and held it to Ray's head, holding him hostage? Then Riley would have been responsible for getting him out. What if Ray had blocked her shot, making it easy for the man to shoot either of them? Riley could have been in danger as well as Ray.he can do what he wants, how he wants to
As for whether she should have been "nicer" or "calmer", a) she was just in a dangerous situation and clearly stressed out as a result, and b) the issue she was addressing was important and she wanted to make sure that he actually got the message. Either way, given that he just put both of their lives in danger, I think she has every right to talk to him less than nicely and calmly.
