No! Phew! I shouldn't be... *g* The school I'm at has a week off curriculum this week, so I stayed home to finish my first assignment and apply for jobs and things instead... First assignment finished, and I've, um, looked at the jobs pages... *g*

I suppose Inger is a bit bossy - but I think Bodie quite likes that really... I like him far better with Inger and Jennifer Black - oh, and maybe Jane of the tennis match! - than with any of the girls who seem to just wrap themselves obediently around him... *g*

I'm not sure Doyle got away with it actually - I think it definitely shows the greyness of his morals, but then I've always thought he had that, so it's not a big thing to me. And I think Bodie's got more morals than some people try to claim as well, actually - look at his treatment of Frances Cottingham, and his look of horror here in The Gun at the idea that the rockstar could buy his son's love... I think both lads are very grey in the morals field - I mean, they couldn't be in CI5 if they didn't have that, because they are prepared to kill and maim and smash up people's houses on a single word from their boss - or there own rush of temper. But likewise I don't think they're completely immoral either... Maybe Doyle says things out loud more often - but that doesn't mean he acts that way. And maybe Bodie doesn't want to admit to the bad things sometimes (was it in "Need to Know" where he sort of turned away, looking uncomfortable, when Doyle questioned the morals of their role in gassing their own "side", the police officers?) but he didn't accept without rebellion the for-the-good-of-the-masses men from Blind Run either...

If anything - and I've said this before - I find Doyle the darker of the two, because he can suggest something like that, while at the same time seeming to want to act with conscience... as if he's a bit more out of control than Bodie, not sure where his lines are, which to me makes him just a tad more dangerous than someone who knows exactly where their lines are and why, as Bodie often seems to...

And now - I should be getting ready to go out and tutor a new student, so I'll be back in a few hours! *g*
