Seeing Ryan wearing casual clothes (even if it was a sweater vest) makes me happy. I like this laidback and more friendly Ryan although it makes me question what the heck is TPTB aiming for.
Maybe TPTB's idea is that Ryan was so uptight because of Delko (like he was trying to show he was as good as Delko or even better) or he had some sort of change of heart and decided to be more laidback after Delko got hurt? (Like Warrick's decision to get married with Tina after Nick was kidnapped in season 5 of Las Vegas)
TPTB don't make changes just because. They always have something behind them. And I know all this sounds like it's a big conspiracy theory or something but I really have weird feelings and thoughts about all this.
But, if it means that Ryan gets more screentime and great moments (I lost count to how many times I watched the RSP moment. The 'Oh Snap' part just makes me LOL; it's so silly) I'm all for it.
Ryan is a good character that has a lot of potencial. C'mon, we basically don't know much about him or his past and his family so TPTB could easily create a nice storyline for him since he's almost 'blank', if you know what I mean. And when I mean nice storyline, TPTB, I mean something that doesn't make Ryan look like he's the bad guy. Seriously, it's getting repetitive and annoying.
Concerning the whole hair and weight issue... I do love the spikey hair era but this one is nice too. And the weight... Jon's around 30, right? It's normal around that age and it also means he had a nice summer and that he's appreciating life like he should.
A great posting!:thumbsup: You have a good theory about having Ryan more laid back; maybe it is a combo of Delko being so close to death and his experience in WISC; he realizes it can end at any time. Although I can't see it now, maybe this change in personality is going is building to something by the end of the season. And yes, anything that gets Ryan/Jon more screen time,
as long as it is positive and doesn't deviate away from his character, is a good thing.
Since we know so little about Ryan (or he being "blank" as InferiMaster so accurately stated), I am puzzled why more is being done to develop his character. I love to know what makes people tick (I know I have said this at least twice before:lol
and I need to know what makes Ryan tick
And getting him in trouble again would be just boring.
I thought Jon's weight gain was just that; him being young and single and enjoying his time off. The advantage of being an actor on a successful TV show is the access to trainers, etc. that would help him get into shape again.
Whatever shape he is in Jon still is a very good looking guy:drool: and a darn good actor to boot.:thumbsup:
