lads' relationship reasons - namely, Bodie doesn't tell Doyle what he's up to
Yes, I do see that - I suppose it's just that in my head I do also see why Bodie might not tell Doyle about it, and it can go so many interesting ways that again I rather assume other people might see those ways too! And I do assume that they have a back-and-forth relationship at this stage too, rather than effectively being married, so to me it's all part of those glitches, which makes it all more interesting... Same with Bodie hitting Doyle in the woods - I don't think he looks at Doyle and decides to hit him, I think he's just fighting anyone who moves, and Doyle calling out probably doesn't even register with him. And I love that Doyle jumps back in anyway, and goes to defend him again...

I don't particularly like deeply intensely violent Bodie, but I dislike him far more in Close Quarters, where he seems to be thinking about what he's doing, than here, where he's reacting very emotionally/irrationally for specific psychological reasons (I know you could cry that about CQ too...), and I've seen CQ get much better reviews - and again, the lads are separate even more in that one. So yeah, maybe it's a Bodie-fan thing to some extent.

I know what you mean about Ross, too. I do think it's a shame that so many of the female characters in Pros are slagged off by fans (and female fans!) - I don't get it... it's not like they usually take screen time from the lads - and Ross was saving Bodie's life! *sighs*

And hee - Pros is a fishing-net of plot holes, but that's half the joy of Prosfic, surely! *g* If they were all neatly sewn up, there'd be no space left to write...
