He’s the funny man and the goofball and the rule breaker and he never actually successfully broke into anything without triggering an alarm on the show, and he hates his job and only sticks around because he’s deeply in love with the boss’s daughter.
But. My man is competent. I’ve tried to figure out what the heck kind of rating they give the Freelancers on the Board and never managed to, but look at this picture.
York is either .4 or .8 points behind Carolina. Carolina, who is as fast as Kelly and as tough as Sam. He’s close to a full point ahead of Wyoming. And this is all with one eye. He beat the sleeveless insurrectionist - the one who stomped Maine into the ground - in hand-to-hand like it was nothing. He managed to out-drive jetpacks and helicopters (again, with one eye) during a high-speed road chase. He was never motivated to be a Freelancer, but was still pretty much the best of the best (after Carolina and Tex obviously)
I just like when the goofballs actually turn out to be great at what they do - especially when they hate what they do. Really adds to the angst.
It's late and I'm thinking about Wyoming and this picture specifically. Like, they didn't have to include him here and it's not brought up in dialogue, but he's there. Like, York hanging out with North and Carolina makes sense. It's not like he just happens to be at the same bar, he's there with them. So he was their friend. When was this set? How early into the program? They all have their code names already.
I wasn't around when this episode came out so I don't know how much it was talked about, but that makes their fight at the end of season 10 and York's death so much more tragic.
And they're right next to each other on the leader board. The focus of this season was Tex vs Carolina but is this just another thing that was ripped apart by PFL?
I JUST WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT MY FAVORITE FREELANCER AND WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM. WHEN DID HE GO FROM DRINKING BUDDY TO KILLING HIS FRIENDS FOR THE JOB.
Do you ever think about like what goes on in the AI classroom off screen. Do you think the Director has pulled any of those like teacher speeches like “Agent York, Agent North and Agent Washington. Are we going to have a problem or will I have to move you three to separate ends of the classroom I am growing tired of your bafoonery. You’re disruptan the lesson and unless you’d like to come up here and teach the class yourself, I would suggest you’d be quiet. I trusted you all with the libertay of picking your own seats, and you delibratahly choose to make me regret it”Or what
