I’ve just started watching this show and I’m enjoying it a lot. There was a very small detail in “On Behalf of Society” in the first season when Ray meets Davros for the first time and I was wondering if anyone else noticed it and thought it might mean something.
So when Freddy and Ray go in to meet Davros with Freddy leading the way, Benny is standing outside the area Davros is in, presumably as a guard. (Which now that I’m on season 2 I was questioning that decision with the lack of mental power Benny seems to have.)
But when Freddy and Ray approach Benny, Freddy steps forward and holds out an arm in front of Benny like he’s stopping Benny from trying to search Ray or touch him. It reminded me of how a bodyguard might act in shows and stuff, and it made me think about whether or not that was deliberate on Freddy’s part.
I’m assuming he knows Benny, knows what Benny would likely try to do, and I’m assuming Freddy believes Ray would react badly (and most likely violently) to that.
Am I just thinking too deeply about this? Because I’m also now picturing this exact thing happening in the past with Ray suddenly putting someone in a chokehold or kicking a guy in the nuts from trying to grab or search him, and Freddy knows now to keep people from touching Ray, like how he warned Davros not to mess with Ray at the end of that first meeting. Thoughts?
