Has anyone noticed Ritchson gained about 40 lbs of pure muscle for season two? Where does a guy who's always on the road, walking no less, manage to gain that much muscle mass---without a gym membership? His only companion is a toothbrush, not a nationwide gym membership.
In the books, the character is well-honed with a fit body but this guy looks like he's trying to outdo Schwarzenegger. And his amorphous body has changed multiple times in the first three episodes of season two.
In one scene he looks bloated and overweight, and in another he looks much slimmer and toned. In still another scene he looks like the Hulk, and the next he's back to normal.
That's because they don't film scenes in order so the discontinuity is off-putting. Why hasn't a producer told him to cut back on the protein shakes? His caloric intake is way too high for the energy he's expending, a common mistake that weightlifters make.
As for acting, I rely on the other characters to provide dramatic relief. Ritchson is an okay actor but if he spent half as much time in acting class as he does working out he'd be downright Shakespearean.
While I do like the plot lines, and the developing backstory, the action scenes are too few and far between. And they should never put Ritchson against an accomplished actor like the detective in season two (amazing performance).
But all in all I like it. The new more muscled look of Ritchson in season two will make you do a double take. It's more distracting than useful.
