Am I the only one who felt bad for Garry?

Even though he's a slimeball, I couldn't help but feel bad for like I feel bad for an animal hit by a car, writhing around in the throws of death in the middle of the roadway. Wyck is calculating like his father and he knew Garry was a creature of less intelligence and easily manipulatable. So he used him for his own gain, then when having him around became inconvenient, he disposed of him like an old, dirty gym sock. Wyck didn't even have the decency to give Garry a quick, painless death. I could hear the fear and sense of betrayal in Garry's voice. Hats off to Paul Rae Stuart, the man must have and talent if he can so convincingly play a scumbag like Garry and make you feel bad for him at the same time.

No, I really didn't. He killed that guy to keep him quiet and then beat the *beep* out of Cody which eventually led to the loss of her baby. He was definitely going to kill Wyck too if he didn't get his way. While it was kind of brutal they left him there to die, he definitely wasn't a good person.

Leaving Garry like that was just plain wrong, and I'm disgusted with Billy and Wick for doing so. However, I have very little sympathy for Garry over it, especially after what he did to Cody. My sympathetic feelings are more for Cody, and for Billy and Wick who have degraded themselves in their action (or inaction if you want to call it that). At least Billy's initial reaction was to call for help. Too bad he didn't go with his own instincts.

My sympathetic feelings are for Cody and Carla. Maybe Hap's daughter too. Everyone else's characters pretty much know what they are doing and getting themselves into.

Only you and Cody feel bad for him.
