The Shield : Ronnie's biggest character development was when he grew a beard

Ronnie's biggest character development was when he grew a beard

Compared to the other members of the Strike Team, he's pretty poorly fleshed out

He has no real storylines, no history with anything, no love interests and pretty much no character arcs. Except that time he burnt his face

Re: Ronnie's biggest character development was when he grew a beard

That's part of the reason he's my favorite Strike Team member. Not bogged down with the melodrama in his life. Season 6 and 7 are really when he steps into his own as a character. We see he's a competent leader and sadly, is being led down the same road as Vic.

You are sin.

Re: Ronnie's biggest character development was when he grew a beard

LOL @ OP. I actually said something very similar to my wife when he first grew his beard. That was definitely his high point in the first 5, maybe 6 seasons. :)

Re: Ronnie's biggest character development was when he grew a beard

Yeah, he barely even speaks in the first five seasons.

But that builds up his image as the dutiful, unquestioning soldier, which adds to the poignancy of the ending.

Re: Ronnie's biggest character development was when he grew a beard

Not every character needs to be front and center and have a story constantly to be a great character or even stand out amongst the others.

He is a soldier for Vic and the group and that strikes me as having a lot of character to the extent of extreme loyalty. He's always involved in the story indirectly but just not as in your face as some of the others.
