Day 14: Favorite Secret Service Agent
This one took serious consideration. For a show about White House staff, there are multiple awesome Secret Service agents. Ron Butterfield is first, getting shot protecting the President and being totally unfazed. But there's also Wesley, played by Taye Diggs, and Molly, Jamie and Randy, Zoey's detail when she gets kidnapped. I feel like Clark Gregg's character, FBI special agent Michael Casper, should be Secret Service, even though he isn't. :) Cuz he's awesome. And of course, Gina, Jorja Fox's precursor to Sara Sidle, and Simon Donovan of the tragic love story.
In the end, Ron Butterfield wins because he is just the best Secret Service agent. Zoey would never have gotten kidnapped on his watch, I feel, and all he cares about is protecting the President and the rest of them. Simon Donovan was awesome, but it was his own casual attitude during a robbery in progress that got him killed. I'm pretty sure there should be some kind of protocol that involves securing the crime scene before letting your guard down, even for the Secret Service.
And...icons! :) Two variations on another Secret Service agent with a more depressing end. I've been practicing my color usage in preparation for making icons that are excessively blue for mood_stillness.
Thanks for reading. :)
See you tomorrow for Day 15!
