I believe Reid's character should have been given the the time needed to actually deal with being lied to for over 10 weeks over the death of a real friend. No matter the (really good) reasons for the deception, the fact remains that he was purposefully lied to by three people who were supposed to have been not only his "team", but at least two of these people were supposed to have been his true friends. <br /><br />Reid's character has been presented as being somewhat "socially awkward", being raised virtually alone by the mom with severe mental problems, et al, so his handling of this deception, and the broken-trust issues involved, aught to be given much more time and leave-way. And I do think that his potential relapse should have been given more attention, because that could have been a very valid response to the emotional stress and strain of this loss, and subsequent knowledge of intentional deception.<br /><br />I think that JJ's characer did suffer through the deception, but in the end her character DID have the option, no matter how it's stated, of telling Reid the truth, regardless. She just simply chose to NOT tell him, and I do believe that she should have to deal with that.<br /><br />I sincerely hope the writers can manage to slide in more on Reid and his issues with this intentional deception instead of "calling it done". As complicated and complex as they've created his character to be, his character deserves an honest story-line filled with honest reactions according to his personality and all its lovely, strange, intriguing quirks. All the show's characters deserve that same honest treatment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766173897342994367.post-44910885842569037402011-10-02T16:44:52.079-04:002011-10-02T16:44:52.079-04:00Thanks for the review.
While I don't have an i...Thanks for the review.<br />While I don't have an issue with Reid's anger (it's understandable and natural) I think they should have let him express it in another way.<br />I keep seeing fans making comments about him being : "such a child" "immature" "spoiled brat" "manipulative bastard" (because of the dilaudid mention). I don't agree with those comments but I still think the writer should have handled things differently.<br /><br />Maybe I'm going to sound stupid for saying that but....when half of the fandom is dissing your favorite character because of how a writer handled him .... it hurts, it simply, honestly hurts...a lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766173897342994367.post-68105991430647334982011-10-02T10:40:05.755-04:002011-10-02T10:40:05.755-04:00Great review! :) I've been doing vlogs on yout...Great review! :) I've been doing vlogs on youtube of the episodes if anyone cares. :) http://youtu.be/iyoaJ7L9MD8Shmoohttps://twitter.com/#!/Shmoo06noreply@blogger.com
