After the seriousness of last post this one is extremely shallow and written for my own entertainment :) All thoughts and ideas within this post are my own and are meant to be taken as a light observation and commentary, not as something serious or deep!
It has been implied in spoilers that apparently Kensi's former boyfriend Jack, that was the topic of episode 2x11 "Disorder" will apparently be appearing in season 5 and it's been hinted that he'll be somewhat like Deeks. It'll be interesting to see how this storyline will play out and it is certainly intriguing. However, what got me thinking was the fact that he was meant to be something like Deeks. Except in my mind, he would be like an 'improved' version of Deeks. This is NCIS:LA so naturally they'd have Kensi date someone that was almost like a superhero. Deeks' characteristics and traits would be taken and embellished and made more cool so that when Jack would appear, he'd be the 'cool' version of Deeks.
And without further ado, here is a list of things I believe would make Jack the 'improved' version of Deeks
1. He would be Swedish-American - Jack Larsen (he'd have an ethnic last name)
There exists a stereotype that apparently all Swedish people are gorgeous and that they are all blond, ivory-skinned, tall and with blue eyes. So naturally Mr. Jack Larsen would be the archetypal "Swede" and look drop-dead gorgeous. Another thing is the fact that Deeks is Norwegian-American. Sweden ruled over Norway for almost five centuries, they have always had much greater military power, been richer (Norway was very poor until the 20th century) and have always been more successful as a country. There is a bitterness between the two countries and they each consider the other nation to be an idiot. So what better thing that to have a Swedish-American man come in to challenge and corner the Norwegian-American and be more cool than him?
2. He will speak Spanish AND German and be a multilingual wonder
Considering the strange obsession Deeks is portrayed to have with German without knowing the language Mr. Jack Larsen would of course speak the language perfectly and have fluent command of it. And he will be able to pull of a perfect German accent! And the Spanish will be included for good effect. And there might even be French or Swedish thrown in just for the heck of it.
3. He will look like Fred Jones
Considering how often Deeks has been compared to Shaggy it's self-explanatory that Jack would be like Fred. Fred also has the archetypal look of a Swedish man so it is perfect!
4. He will play at least two instruments and not listen to musicals
It's been established that apparently Deeks plays violin which was something I whopped over because I am a violinist and he listens to musicals :) So of course Jack will play more instruments than Deeks and I am thinking piano and guitar as those are incredibly romantic instruments. And he will not listen to musicals, rather he will listen to old rock and cool classical music.
5. He will not blunder, make mistakes, have a knack for saying strange things and being made mild fun of
Considering how clumsy and at at times embarrassing Deeks ir portrayed to be, Jack would be the exact opposite. He would be cool, suave, never ever play a janitor, perfectly poised and always well-worded and with deep and insightful comments. And he will get along perfectly with Sam Hanna.
In other words Mr. Jack Larsen would be the perfect man. And I would heatedly be annoyed by his character. Because I like best the characters that are human and realistic and there Deeks is a good example. But I did enjoy a bit thinking what the Mr. Jack Larsen would be like. Since NCIS:LA thrives on embellishment and steroids at times I would certainly not put it past them to produce someone like that.
But please don't! I enjoy Deeks far too much for that.
