Re: Ryan/Jonathan #15
At first I didn't mind Ryan making mistakes. He was new, used to doing things one way, and didn't know that in some cases the way he was used to doing a procedure is not the correct way a CSI would do it. Like in Recoil, he was used to being told what to do and to follow through.
It took Ryan a while to realize that Patrol Cop Procedure does not equal CSI procedure.
In season 4, I can't recall him making any real big mistakes. Three-Way comes to mind, but all three made mistakes in that episode. After "Nailed," he was making mistakes, but they were associated with his eye.
It seems his mistake making ways picked up again in season 5. I agree with Ally, and everyone else who said the same thing: He is used to people thinking he's the replacement. He's too proud to admit that he doesn't know what he's doing, and he still feels he has to prove himself to be part of the team.
Now that we are almost ending our third season with CSI Ryan, we need to move away from him making all of these newbie mistakes. Granted, a mistake will happen now and then. It happens to all of us, even when we've done something countless times. Still, Ryan is making far too many, and they are too close together.
Does anyone else have thoughts on these and his other mistakes?
