That's my status on gmail. Really. And it has to be. You know why? Because there are people out there who just won't. And that, dude, makes me want to barf up my lunch.
Ames is human. We all are. And that means that she will, like the rest of us, make mistakes from time to time. Honestly, she is not as bad a character as Pucci woman. She, at least, doesn't make goo-goo eyes at Chance until I, yet again, want to barf. Pucci woman is worse because she is annoying without being directly annoying, which means she's like an itch you have in your brain that starts out small but gets worse and worse and you can't figure out what's wrong until you see her again and everything clicks into place. Hey, that's the reason my brain is itching! And at least Ames has the jerichos to be annoying to your face!
So, yeah. Not as bad as Pucci woman.
And it's not even really her fault. People are annoyed with her because she is trying to be like Guerrero, all tough-girl and stuff, but I for one think it's cute. Like, last month, when she was trying to interrogate John Doe to see if he was really lying about not being able to remember anything and Guerrero walks in and says, "What are you doing?" and Ames says, "Nothin'," and he just walks away. He knew, and we did to. And it was cute. You have to give her some time to develop, people, and just leave her alone til then. After all, it's not her fault the writers can't write her confidently. She's just learning how to walk here, so to speak. What, did you push your kids down when they were learning how to walk? No? Then why would you do it to her?
Just give her some time. I bet that soon, real soon, she'll pull off a really cool trick of explosive awesomeness that'll make you gasp for air and say, "Wow! I should have listened to what that girl with the blog said, and not dissed Ames so much!"
Yeah. You'll see.
SORRY, BUT AMES IS AN ANNOYING CHARACTER WHO TOTALLY THROWS OFF THE MOMENTUM AND THE FENG SHUI OF THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CAST.
ReplyDeleteWHILE SHE DOES ADD A TOUCH OF COMIC RELIEF AT TIMES, OVERALL SHE HAS TAKEN THE GUERRERO CHARACTER INTO A DIRECTION THAT THE CHARACTER SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE IN, AT LEAST THIS EARLY IN THE SERIES.
AFTER TWO OR THREE SEASONS, THE SERIES WOULD BE ABLE TO PROPERLY USE A NEW CHARACTER LIKE AMES TO FRESHEN THINGS UP AND TAKE FAMILIAR CHARACTERS INTO NEW, PREVIOUSLY UNDISCOVERED DIRECTIONS.
BUT SINCE WE'VE ONLY KNOWN GUERRERO FOR LESS THAN TWO SEASONS AND KNOW LITTLE ABOUT HIM AS IT IS, CHANGING THE CHARACTERS DYNAMIC THIS EARLY ON DAMPENS THE IMPACT.
IMAGINE HOW MUCH BETTER IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TO WATCH GUERRERO WREAK HAVOC FOR A FEW SEASONS WHILE WE SLOWLY GET TO KNOW HIM, AND THEN "SOFTEN UP" A BIT WITH THE ARRIVAL OF SOMEONE LIKE AMES.
THE EMOTIONAL IMPACT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE POWERFUL.
OH WELL. JUST ANOTHER REASON WHY THE SHOW IS SOON TO ASSUME ROOM TEMPERATURE.......
