The first time I saw George Gently,

I was admittedly a bit distracted

*do I have to punish you?*
*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?
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*
*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!*
*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...
