You are right, Bobby wants to know, Bobby needs to know, he pursues the truth. Once he met Brady, it was inevitable. But I think he could've done without ever knowing about his father - he shouldn't have met Brady at all. In Shibboleth, Bobby says something to the effect that sons aren't necessarily like fathers, and I think this holds true to him. Besides, Brady might have contributed his DNA, but really, the father that nutured Bobby was William (?) Goren, not Brady. He still is a defining influence, in spite of what some people might think. <br /><br />I'm willing to cut Ross some slack. He came onto Major Case when Bobby was anything but easy to deal with. <br /><br />As a role, Ross "combined" Carver and Deakins, and I think he's been misunderstood a lot. He was there to challenge the detectives, but because Bobby sometimes was so personally involved, this didn't go over well.TJarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13177957411852885356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894442136282619035.post-66508755301974993442011-01-23T21:19:07.145-08:002011-01-23T21:19:07.145-08:00Judith - You're welcome. =)
T'Jara - Ha H...Judith - You're welcome. =)<br /><br />T'Jara - Ha Ha. No worries. It's hard to keep up with every blog post. Well, there's a lot I can argue and agree about, but the one thing I find interesting here is the last sentence. Do you think Bobby would be better off not knowing about Brady? Possibly, but if you ask him, I bet he's say he's glad to know. I know if I were in his position, I'd want to know the truth - even when the truth hurts. And we all know Bobby, no matter how much people think he needed to be miles away from everything, this is Bobby we're talking about. He's not going to distance himself. He's going to work through it no matter the price. It's just him and I don't fault him for it. *shrugs* I will never care for Ross. What he did in Frame was the final straw for me.<br /><br /> ~Snyder~OuroborosSnyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08252311367677944390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894442136282619035.post-47272733530867041412011-01-22T14:38:44.470-08:002011-01-22T14:38:44.470-08:00Jeez, how could I have missed this discussion??
A...Jeez, how could I have missed this discussion??<br /><br />Anway... I never really liked Ross until season 8 - and I did not like the attitude he showed towards Bobby, HOWEVER I do think he did the right thing, both in "Endgame" (and, later on, in Frame). Bobby needed to be MILES away from Brady, not only because his mother was dying, but the sad thing is - like father, like son - Brady is a great manipulator, and Bobby was not in control at all times. He was walking "on the brink" over and over again in this episode, and sometimes, I think it would've been better for him never to find out the truth about his father.TJarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13177957411852885356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894442136282619035.post-65199445763947337792011-01-19T06:18:20.789-08:002011-01-19T06:18:20.789-08:00Thankyou Sarah.xThankyou Sarah.xjudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04891288190583170712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894442136282619035.post-80212267485959202892011-01-18T19:18:14.421-08:002011-01-18T19:18:14.421-08:00Well put, Judith.

This can happen if you've had a tough childhood, you question an awful lot that is said to you and can sometimes 'blow-up' when really people are only thinking of your well-being. Kindness is hard to trust because you are more used to people being 'bad' to you.judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04891288190583170712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894442136282619035.post-46682229468324777972011-01-14T12:00:30.590-08:002011-01-14T12:00:30.590-08:00Judith - Hmm.

That's why I love having these conversations! People bring up points you never thought of before. Thanks!<br /><br />val - You have a good point, too. So it's not necessarily that Ross said something bad or inappropriate, but it's that Bobby blew it all out of proportion; getting defensive and taking what Ross said the wrong way when in fact he was just looking out for him? Is that correct?<br /><br />~Snyder~OuroborosSnyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08252311367677944390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894442136282619035.post-89807503361687164422011-01-14T06:21:43.957-08:002011-01-14T06:21:43.957-08:00I've always felt that Bobby was a bit unfair t...I've always felt that Bobby was a bit unfair to Ross in this scene. It's just a natural thing to say to someone who's mother is in the last stages of a terminal illness, but Bobby was determined to take it wrong. He just made assumptions about Ross's meaning, and they were wrong, unusually for our man!valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784717652044574470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894442136282619035.post-6236061496582385022011-01-14T00:16:33.983-08:002011-01-14T00:16:33.983-08:00Not sure I did at the time I commented.

Needed to think about it but as you and others have said what right had Ross to tell him (Bobby) what he thought but then again maybe he felt sorry for Bobby and wanted to save him anymore pain by taking him off the case but it backfired on him and Bobby lost his temper.judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04891288190583170712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894442136282619035.post-60338330466872180542011-01-13T18:55:49.810-08:002011-01-13T18:55:49.810-08:00greeneyesbell1 - Thanks!

I completely understand why Bobby started this <i>argument</i>. I'm not saying it was right or professional. I'm just saying I get it. He was involved in the case, yes, but I think he held it together pretty damn well (minus the ending where he almost choked him). I don't know, maybe it's just because I didn't like how Ross treated Bobby. I don't know, but telling Bobby what he needs and doesn't need, well I'd think <i>screw you</i> too and let him know it.<br /><br />Judith - I'm not really sure what that means... LOL.<br /><br />Beverly - Yeah, I agree. I felt sorry for him, too. *sighs* How much more crap can he go through? And I completely agree with your comment about Alex. Nice input. =)<br /><br />~Snyder~OuroborosSnyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08252311367677944390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894442136282619035.post-8026659693871211122011-01-13T10:32:38.430-08:002011-01-13T10:32:38.430-08:00If anything when Bobby said those words it only ma...If anything when Bobby said those words it only made me feel sorry for him. He definitely had a lot going on in his life at the moment. He was frustrated and lashed out. Who did he have to take it out on? No one. Capt. Ross seemed the perfect object. He would never respond like that to Alex. He avoided her and protected her from his feelings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894442136282619035.post-77901986950192645272011-01-13T08:41:55.075-08:002011-01-13T08:41:55.075-08:00UM. interesting post and interesting comments.UM. interesting post and interesting comments.judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04891288190583170712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894442136282619035.post-89163930634536611742011-01-13T03:01:55.169-08:002011-01-13T03:01:55.169-08:00Sorry, I have to disagree in a few points.

Of course, the whole topic with his mom and his not knowing. But in this point Danny is right. Bobby is too much involved in the case.<br /><br /><i>No, detective, you don't need this in your life right now.</i> That was definitely too much for Bobby. Danny crossed the personal border and Bobby exploded.<br /><br />I think if Bobby hadn't, Danny had never take him off the case. Now we need Alex. Her sigh, was perfect. Bobby hadn't control about himself and she has to manage the pile of shards...again!<br /><br /><i>You don't know what I need. And don't tell me who I am. You don't know who I am. And don't tell me how I think.</i> This is definitely a great line. But I think Bobby hadn't any answers in this moment either.havershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06677067738370557658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894442136282619035.post-15380067164821191762011-01-12T21:36:29.965-08:002011-01-12T21:36:29.965-08:00i love that scene,it was a really intense episode,...i love that scene,it was a really intense episode,but a really good one...i understand what you mean,some people claim to know what someone needs,feels,etc...they may understand to a certain extent,but never quite to the point of the person themselves.great post.greeneyesbell1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15602567273597366928noreply@blogger.com
