Writer might have overshot the mark when it comes to ol' boy's portrayal pre-redemption because him being happy in the SLIGHTEST is more irritating to me that his normal crouchedy demeanor. No sir you don't get to be happy in front of me especially not due to interacting w/ our girl. I know it's petty and empedes the furtherance of the plot, BUT I DONT LIKE HIM. He just needs to be a general, win some battles, and maybe they can even make amends but they don't have to be friends and definitely not more than friends. Our girl is too good for him. But again the show must go on but I don't like particular going ons of the show going on. I DONT LIKE HIM
