Episode poll 11.17: "Red Meat"

[caranfindel]

Before we start, let me quickly say thank you. The comments on last week's poll were full of interesting conversation and astute observations and you guys just add so much to my ridiculous little polls and I love you all. Regulars, visitors, lurkers, people who always comment, people who vote but never comment... thank you all for being here. {smooches}

(Sloppy declarations of love? I might be a teeny bit intoxicated from 11.17!)

Now, on to the poll!


[Poll #2041182]

One thing you forgot to ask about was what people thought about the sheriff (or was he a park ranger?). He was a little too quick to 1) use a taser on someone who was obviously injured and wasn't even breaking the law at the time (addendum: sorry, I forgot he punched the sheriff; that's breaking the law right there) and 2) sedate a guy who just broke the law but, again, wasn't at his 100% best and could easily suffer ill-effects from the addition of more drugs.

The guy seemed a little too obsessed with control. His first instinct to gain control seemed to be to use something that would not only knock the other person unconscious but also cause them injury. I thought that he and Corbin were the most disturbing characters in the whole episode.

Since his partner (employee?) was missing and not answering his radio, and since 5 people had disappeared, maybe the sheriff was on edge and didn't want his only possible suspect, Dean, to leave by any means necessary. Maybe he wouldn't normally act so rash, but his behavior was still extreme.

You've got some good points there. I just thought the guy was a jerk.
