Hey, just wandered in and wanted to say I very much enjoy your perspective. I haven't seen the fandom compliants you speak of, either, but holy CRAP! I'm glad I missed it. Of COURSE Bobby is going to have a tough time dealing, and wishing he'd had the guts to eat a bullet - which obviously he *hasn't,* since the man has more means of lethal intent handy than some military instalations - is only normal.
Hey, I'm a cancer survivor, lost one boob to a mastectomy, and I spent every day for months after, telling myself to stop being such a baby, because losing a boob is nothing like losing an arm or leg or worse. But ... my brain, my heart, the inner workings of me weren't listening, and I had a helluva time getting my mind around this drastic change of my entire life.
So for Bobby to be this angry and desperate? Totally makes sense. Not to mention that side-lining a warrior like Bobby is pretty much pulling the rug out from under that man's entire life. His life has been about being useful, and now ... now he feels entirely useless.
I hope I don't come across any fans who think Bobby is having a pity party for himself or whatever, as I'd be sorely tempted to slap me a bitch. ;-)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights! Cheers ~
