While, I am for people using constructive criticism and back up what they say negatively about a certain CSI character, I would like to know how creating multiple threads about how "hot" and "sexy" Ryan Wolfe/Jonathan Togo is considered constructive. While, also putting up pictures of him shirtless, with his mom, or whatever pictures clearly taken from other websites, even from Jonathan's supposed Privately-set Facebook account. That's acceptable?
I think that I would be getting some negative responses, given that there are some girls from other CSI websites who would go out of the way to defend Jonathan/Ryan. Best of luck defending him with other reasons other than he's hot or sexy. Or that you are a huge fan.
Actually, I only see one thread devoted to Jonathan Togo/Ryan Wolfe. The content, if unacceptable, would have been changed at the direction of the moderators. It is apparently acceptable at this time - thankfully!
Ryan Wolfe is a very interesting character with a great deal of appeal. He is a flawed character who is constantly striving to do the right thing and learn from his mistakes. I'm delighted each and every time he is allowed to shine and I do hope the Rodriguez' comments about Togo deserving a really good story are taken to heart by TPTB. He's right!
He is portrayed by an exceptionally talented actor, Jonathan Togo. Jon has consistantly shown Ryan to be an intelligent, committed and caring member of the team. The rare instances when the script has provided him with really good material (WISC, Nailed, Going Ballistic/Resurrection, Time Bomb, are just a few - too few in my opinion), he's knocked it out of the park each time.
It's obvious he's not a favorite of yours, but your method of indicating that is a little combative and harsh, don't you think?
=====================
I personally find
Calleigh to be my least favorite character. And I've actually been wondering lately if my intense dislike of that character is directly connected how in the first and second seasons I felt polar opposite to how I feel about her now.
I used to absolutely adore Calleigh. But the character I see now isn't the Calleigh that I found so easy to invest in. The journey over the past 4 seasons as this amazing character was destroyed, pieces by piece, until we have this current version of Calleigh (someone I call the "Evil Twin"), who doesn't resemble in any way the professional woman with strength, credibility and integrity I was introduced to in the first season at all, has been very painful to watch.
She used to be everyone's friend. She was committted and caring. Finding the truth, no matter where it lead, was always her focus.
I don't begrudge the character a personal life. Nor do I begrudge her a boyfriend.
What I do object to is her choice to become involved with a subordinate. Her choice to subvert her morals and her integrity to cover for her boyfriend's inadaquacies and incompetence. Her choice to cut away from the "team" and create her own team that was exclusive to she and her boyfriend. Her choice to be harsh, cold and distant with everyone but her boyfriend.
And one day maybe we'll find out the reason that Horatio and Calleigh didn't speak to, or acknowlege each other even existed, for a couple of seasons. For two people who used to be good friends and had an amazing working chemistry - that was a real hard thing to wrap my head around. That chemistry is gone and watching them interact now is more painful than enjoyable.
I also have no respect or any real postive feelings for
Eric. He runs second to Calleigh as my least favorite character. Any guy that would use his girlfriend to protect him when he is screwing up does not deserve respect. He is complicit in Calleigh's moral decay. He encouraged her to read the private, personal medical files without a warrant - just because he gave her permission to read his file doesn't mean he had the right to give permission for every other patient!
Horatio deserves honorable mention for not stomping on those two at the start and seeing exactly what Calleigh was doing with her protection - and because I think Eric's sense of "entitlement" that makes him feel that he isn't responsible for anything he does - just let someone else keep cleaning up his messes - comes from Horatio as well as Calleigh.
Eric has an elevated sense of himself and his place and authority in the world that is rivaled only by the worst spoiled 2 year old. It's not all about him and he doesn't have the authority to throw all the rules out the window just to get what he wants.
His treatment of Ryan is simply inexcusable. Especially when I feel if you added it up Eric is just as big a screwup, and in actuality maybe a bigger screwup, than Ryan. An individual was killed because Eric's stolen badge was used to get an advantage. It was stolen because of his irresponsible actions ("toothing" - no respect for women or himself). And that's only the beginning of his infractions. He has no right to judge Ryan or anyone else - ever!
His treatment of women in general is inmature and disrespectful. Telling Ryan he was "cleared for landing" with Natalia? What lowlife, inmature child talks about a woman who has done nothing to him like that? Natalia is a decent woman who thought they had a chance at a good relationship. (IMO, that combination had much more chemistry and passion then E/C ever has.) She didn't deserve that anymore that Natalia deserved Jesse standing her up. Eric is very lucky that Natalia is a forgiving, caring person and Natalia is lucky she didn't get any more involved with Eric than she did.
