Thanks GNRF!
He's such a cutie.
Thanks from me too GNRF!!:thumbsup: *sigh* so handsome:drool:
You know what? I'm coming up with my own explination....I really do think Ryan has rabies.
Well he is a WOLFE after all:lol::guffaw:
I'm kind of frustrated with the whole thing.
We've gotten deep conversations from Calleigh and Eric, we've gotten inside Delko's head....Why not Ryan? Why so little emotion and explination from the same guy who makes such brash moves all the time?
I think this is the reason I get so frustrated when people complain about Eric or Calleigh's story arcs; at least they are getting them. Here is what I think about the difference between Eric and Ryan and tell me what you all think:
I have been watching CSIM since the beginning and since joining this forum, have been watching the episodes with a different eye and have come up with this conclusion:
Eric has had A LOT thrown at him (operative words being A LOT) but have you noticed that the stuff thrown at him has made him, at the end, sympathetic and/or a heroic? Let me give you three examples:
1. Eric pops positive for marijuana and has a dealer who sells it to him. We find out not only it is secondary exposure but he is buying for his sister and sitting with her while she smokes it to relieve the nausea for chemo for cancer treatment. Sympathetic and heroic.
2. Eric is sued for something that happens while off duty. We see that he is coming to the aid of a woman he thinks is being abused by her husband (heroic) and is sued because the couple are a slip and fall artists (sympathetic)
3. Eric is shot and the bullet is still in his brain. He has no control over what happens next (little hero, a lot sympathy)
Okay, now Ryan who has really not been given a lot:
1. Ryan develops a gambling problem, lies about it and gets fired. Although he fights and works hard to get his job back, it wasn't heroic or sympathetic when it happened
2. WISC: while Ryan earns a few sympathy points for having the snot beat out of him by the Russian mob and a few hero point (mostly by us) for doing the wrong thing for the right reasons (saving the life of a small boy), he probably lost most of both by tampering with evidence and not telling H sooner.
3. There is Nailed; when he took one in the eye (sympathy for sure and ironically it was Eric who messed up by not showing up to the scene), he could have lost some of that sympathy by not clearing up the infection (something completely under his control).
I am not saying any of this to slam Ryan (I lOVE the guy) and the TPTB have given us glimpses of positive character traits. He is kind, sensitive (see his scene with Calleigh in Seeing Red), good with kids, loyal to his coworkers, smart, a good cop and person, but this is so overshadowed by the negative stuff that it is difficult at times to see. I am also not saying any of this to slam Eric, he has his good points too. I am just saying no one is all sympathy and hero and no one is all flawed. And they seem to have made Ryan Wolfe
one big flaw with no background. Let's hope this starts to change this year.
Thank you; I feel so much better
