Re: Ryan/Jonathan #10 RAWR
Great discussion everyone!
I think the real reason why Ryan's upset with Natalia could be boiled down to 2 things:
1. He still feels betrayed. He did all that work to expose her as the mole and now it seemed to have been rendered worthless and pointless b/c of the lab's easy acceptance of her into CSI. It's like this: he didn't do any kind of major screw-ups (not in my opinion anyway
), and he had to crawl and work his a$$ off to be accepted b/c he filled in a vacant spot, while Natalia was the mole, betrayed the lab, and now she's a CSI, and they seem to be treating her just fine. It's almost as if she didn't have to suffer like he did, work her way into their trust like Ryan had to from the very beginning even though he didn't betray the lab like she did.
2. Maybe it's not what Natalia did wrong, but it's what lies underneath the team's easy acceptance of her. Maybe Ryan will always see Natalia as the mole, the same way everyone saw Ryan as (and I hate this title) Speed's replacement. Maybe he's upset b/c she was readily forgiven and given a fresh start, a clean slate without having to crawl her way into their good graces. Ryan, on the other hand, had to deal with the expectations people put on him as the replacement of a beloved man -- expectations of having to measure up to an immeasurable and irreplaceable CSI.
Do these make sense?
Okay, I'm leaving tomorrow, and I'm sooooo gonna miss everyone here and being on the MB. I'm already getting depressed b/c I'm actually gonna be missing 2 episodes of Miami b/c of this trip. *cries*
I'll just be relying on my wallet pic to keep me sane and to fill my mind with Togo goodness.
:devil:
So, if I don't get to come back here before I leave tomorrow night, then this is my farewell and take care greetings to all of you. Bye-bye, everyone! *huggles, waves, cries
* I'm gonna miss you, and I'll see you back on the 17th - the day before my birthday!
