Marriage material

Well, who would you marry - if you could marry a fictional character from this show.

For me, it would be #Daggett. That man must be a tiger alone with his partner!

Plus, he's smart, and ended up searching for the truth as he reached his mid-career point.

A little hard-boiled for me in real life, but as far as fiction goes ... then again, I'd also marry the Father (unnamed) from #TheRoad, a different sort altogether.

Who would you marry from this series? And why?

(My mother would probably have pushed me toward Melvin, the nice guy.)

Speaking of Family Daggett ... someone please update Sonny Shroyer's Wikipedia page. I don't know how to do that. It stops at 2012, before his #Rectify appearance.

They'd all be great guests as sign_in's dinner party!

That's sign_in, whom I'm sure has Teddy on his list for fictional love affair.

Jon Stern. No contest. Driven, smart, caring, willing to put himself on the line for his beliefs, this is all very appealing to me.

"Oh, I'll be polite. Right up until I'm rude."

[–] prairie-16766 8 years ago

Of all the characters, Jon Stern is closest to the real life men I've dated.

Billy. He's outside this Daniel case/controversy/storm and seems like an intelligent, funny, nice guy. And drives a truck. And is tall. And employed.

What more is there to want?

[–] prairie-16766 8 years ago

He's a hunter. 😠

Other than that, he's fine.

fresh creulty free meat i don't see a problem with that,
if i lived in georgia i am sure i would hunt,
because i love meat, but i don't exactly aprove of factory farming,

being a canadian, and considering a few things,(hospitalization for a mental break down 4 years ago, i cannot own or fire a firearm even though i am not a danger to others, only place ive seen guns is on cops holsters

Please tell Trudeau to end the seal hunt. Hardly anyone except Canadians buy seal products anymore, even the Chinese, with no humane laws, forbid its entry. It's a corporate welfare industry propped up to save a few hunters. Just like the dolphin issue in Taiji, Japan.

Also, please get involved in protesting the Kinder-Morgan pipeline - akin to #NoDAPL here in the State. And free those poor orcas in your aquariums. (Just as I am an anti-SeaWorld activist and am working to free Lolita in the Miami Seaquarium.)

Thank you.

Importers of seal pelts are Norway, Greenland, Germany, China, Poland, Denmark, Hong Kong, Greece, France, Russia, South Korea, Ukraine, Estonia, and Japan.

The seal hunt as practiced by Indigenous people is legitimate. The commercial one isn't.

If you don't eat meat, that's an understandable attitude.

If you eat meat -- grocery store variety -- and wear leather, then it's not.

Imo.

[–] Whatlarks 8 years ago

Looks like you're equating acceptable and understandable.

[–] mme3924-1 8 years ago

Understandable.

As in, I understand the position, the attitude, not that I necessarily agree with it.

If one does not eat meat or use leather in anyway, then I understand the attitude about hunting. If they eat commercially prepared meat but object to hunting, I think they are uninformed.

It's acceptable to Prairie, apparently. I can't speak for everyone...or even anyone.... else.

[–] Whatlarks 8 years ago

I'm not sure why you don't understand the position of being against hunting if you eat meat -- grocery store variety -- and wear leather. When you've asked people who hold that view, do they refuse to explain?

Without knowing the precise attitude of the person under discussion, it is usually that they are against the killing of poor defenseless animals, such as deer. The truth is, without culling deer populations, they would suffer from over population, which includes disease and starvation, and die anyway. You're fond of statistics; look it up.

And what's the difference in killing and eating meat from animals in the wild and those commercially raised for the purpose?

There are hunters who hunt merely for sport. I don't know any and I don't defend them, but mainly because I abhor waste. They are still culling the population, which is necessary.

[–] prairie-16766 8 years ago

Prairie is vegetarian, learning about veganism, and does not use animal products to the best of her knowledge.

I went for Billy too and then dismissed because of the hunting.

It's too cerebral! We're trying to make a movie here, not a film!

[–] mickeymyhorse 8 years ago

For me it would be Daggett or Daniel. I find Daggett's sense of justice appealing. Plus I'm always attracted to a man in uniform.

Daniel, because I'm also attracted to the loner, quiet type. Still waters run deep and this guy is deep. I would also like to help him overcome his distrust and pain. That wouldn't happen overnight, but the journey would be worth it.

Keeping in mind it's all fictional.

Actually, Billy looks VERY mellow. Amantha would be my pick for adventurous bedroom sheninagans.

Billy appeals to me the most because of his personality and sense of humor. He's confident, well-grounded, and cuts grass. I like that combination. Added bonuses: always packing and familiar with crock-pots.
