Boyd was a terribly plain character, but he HAD potential. Even before we knew about his missing sister -- which easily could have been a whole story arc in and of itself that we will never get to see -- the entire thing where he has no friends even though he's on the lacrosse team? Why? They just didn't bother using his potential.

I mean, just look at a lot of fanfic out there -- some of them just keep Boyd his bland self, but a lot of the time they can really create a great character out of him. These are amateurs and not even the people who invented the character, so I don't buy he idea that Boyd didn't have potential at all. And he was in the ROTC wasn't he? He had quite a social life for such a loner. Lacrosse, ROTC, job at an ice rink.

Just because he was in those things doesnt mean he made friends. Being in those things is no different than being in any other class. You can be in them and still not makes friends. Oh, I know. Trust me. It's just, choosing to be in two extracurricular activities like that shows that he either a) wanted to be social and didn't really know how, or b) he was forced into them for some reason (which could've been interesting to learn about) I think he was in them because he wanted to. He alludes to it when he tells scott hes tired of eating alone. Also was he actually on the lacross team. I was under the impression that the coach just randomly stuck him in a uniform cause they lost players. But yea the handling of boyd was amateur writing at best.
