[QUOTE="AdmundfortGeographer, post: 1786692, member: 4682"] My interpretation of that was more along the line of a "Hollywood-ization" of showing what they think a jerk who has just proven himself right in front of his accusers might do. I base it on Hollywood's near-universal unrealistic treatment and unsympathetic portrayal of firearms on TV and silver-screen. I know, sometimes it's hard to turn off the cynic in me. ;) Well, I didn't say he was right. I said, "[i]he [b]accidentally[/b] ended up being "right" to be [b]suspicious[/b] about Said[/i]". Still, he was far more than just suspicious, he was flat out accusatory and chest-thumping which crossed the line which I lay at his self-righteous jerkdom. As an aside, my wife thought it was clever of her to split the parts, the ammo clip to Said and the rest of the gun back to Mr. Jerk. The two people who most hate each other. Myself, I was meta-thinking, "what kind of marshal carries a gun but not an extra clip?" Thinking that Mr. Jerk should probably have taken the extra ammo clips when he looted the marshal's body, and would still have them. Well, here too I wasn't saying that he [i]was[/i] right about anything regarding Kate, only that he "[i]seemed[/i] to be accidentally right" to not show her respect. It's difficult to make any judgements about any characters right now, the shows directors and writers are obviously pacing this out, and the dribbling of character biography in pieces is a stylistic choice. At this point I'm noting these things because they have been shown to us in the way they have, in the order we've seeing them, and thus the writers are wanting the audience to develop specific opinions. Most likely opinions which will be overturned dramatically as the show goes on. In this way, IMO it feels correct to think that the directors/writers want us to [i]think[/i] he was accidentally right to not give her any respect. Well, in the way that a stopped clock is "right" twice a day, or a blind squirrel can sometimes still find a nut. ;) Well, I'm only calling him "redneck" because that was Said's insulting term for him. Could call him gun-guy or mr. jerk maybe. Does he actually have a name btw? I'd much rather not use insulting labels... . Especially since it can give the false impression that one thinks the label is correct... :) There hasn't been any spoilers about what he dis before the crash, was there? Because I'm thinking the man is in (or was formerly in) law enforcement. Either in police, or private security. It just feels like the appropriate "twist" that the show would reveal.
