12.) A Character You Would Like to Trade Places With

Ricky Deeming

Ricky was a passionate man. Ricky had a set of values that he believed in strongly and fought for. Ricky lived the escape he felt while riding his motorcycle. He didn’t belong in society, didn’t want to, and he embraced that freedom.

Being the leader of a group that looks to you for guidance could be a blessing and a curse, I imagine, but it sure would benefit the ego! Ricky felt a responsibility to those troubled young men, it seemed like he was taking them under his wing and trying to give them a place, let them be part of something; the fulfillment factor in that would be positive.

I think I’ll pass on the sexual idolization, though 😐

but If I were Ricky Deeming,

I’d just have to accept that swooning came with the territory.

Rebel Yell

Alphabet Movie challenge: day 20

Thrilling program that kept me on edge

Answer: Inspector George Gently

The first time I saw George Gently,

I was admittedly a bit distracted

*do I have to punish you?*

*clears throat*

but as the program went along I became more involved in the case. I was more than a little behind though because I had to rewatch this scene, several times 😉

smoking is bad, Ricky, soooo bad…

Ricky appeared the town rebel,

heading up a motorcycle gang and influencing young troubled boys

Robin, is that you?

but once I got past the young detective’s prejudice, I saw that Ricky was more like a lone wolf taking in the weak and wounded who had been cast out of their own packs.

*howl*

Uh oh, now I’m attached to him.

What if he is involved in those murders?

please don’t ask me to break the law for you Ricky…because I totally will!

The story went along and it became clear that Ricky was not the bad guy.

(I knew all along *scoffs*)

But once I figured out who was…oh no! Ricky, don’t go in the garage! keep driving, do you hear me?

RICKY!!!

I’m all for safety, but take off that ridiculous helmet

I won’t spoil the ending for those who haven’t seen it yet,

because I’ve always been diligent about spoilers on this blog…

(that was sarcasm 😛 )

*leaving them with a cliffhanger, nice!*

but I will say I didn’t expect the sadism.

Did that come out of nowhere, or was I just not paying attention?

oh right, I did say my attention was elsewhere…
