The pics are all awesome :drool::drool::drool: (and seriously distracting me from work here
)
As for my favorite Ryan Ep....loaded question. There are so many. And those you mentioned here are among my favorites too. But if I had to pick just one, it would be Nailed. Jon's so amazing in this one. But I love ANY Ryan ep with a good story line for him and some teamwork (I love when the character interacts with Calleigh or Eric). And I agree with you all, Jon's brilliant with all the emotional stuff. They should give him more scenes to act on this.
As for the upcoming season, I hope to God that he won't be "off" with the team again for too long. This is getting old and still rather painful to watch for me as a devoted fan to the character. I truly never get why everyone is so particular hard on Ryan all the time. If you think about some of the mistakes the others made, then I don't get why they always get cut some slack, but Ryan doesn't. For e.g. Natalia was the mole, double crossed the team and no one (aside from Ryan) seemed particular p....d with her?!?! And everyone was very undstanding towards Eric when he bought dope and missed call outs, etc. Compared to this, I don't think Ryan did such terrible things that he deserved the "attitude" towards him. They should know by now that he's not a bad guy (I for once refuse to believe that, no matter how hard the evil writers try to convice us otherwise
) Honestly, it's a miracle he hasn't already quit his job...so, I hope he'll bounce back again from whatever obstacle they will throw at him the next season. And please, please can't he for once get along with the others and share some fun (I loved the humor in Curse of the Coffin. That was so nice to see. They all acted as a team for once ....WOW...what a surprise:lol
. And I would soooo like to see Horatio step in to "stand by" Ryan ...one can dream ...
