Hey guys,

I almost feel bad putting a post up about 'Run Silent Run Deep' cause Elainhe can't watch it yet (I'll see if I can't hook you up with at least some clips hun...or a transcript of some kind, it's that worth it.) And Holly has to wait for Jim, whom she loves more than life itself apparently. LoL You guys are troupers.

Okay so I made sure that absolutely nobody was bugging me for that hour. It was kinda funny I had the whole house on high alert that speaking to me or speaking in general around the TV was forbidden for that hour. No exceptions...no grace...shut up. LOL They listened, which was really nice of the people who own the house and the TV... :P PS- in case any of you do NOT want spoilers stop reading now...no seriously hit the close button on your window and leave this...you can't do it can you? Don't say I didn't warn ya. ;)







You know if I wasn't a spoiler reader I would have been greatly surprised by how they re-introduced the 'Tanglewood' theme. I mean it was pretty criptic until Hammerback uncovered the Tanglewood tattoo on the guy who called in the body to Mac and then killed himself. The interesting thing that struck me right at the beginning was the fact that they played off Sonny mentioning Danny's name last year as nothing. Mac knows there's a connection but appears to not have followed up on it and just tells Danny to stay away from the case. I was pleasantly surprised...it seems that both characters have matured for the better. Danny didn't freak out and Mac didn't right away get acusitory. (PS- Danny's comment about buy his underwear in a three pack for ten bucks at the beginning there KILLED ME...lol)

Okay we all know I'm a DL shipper...if you don't then you haven't been paying attention at all. Krista sorta let me have that part of our brain hence the reason she doesn't ship at all. lol Shipping aside though I found it interesting how Lindsay played in this episode. She's the one who found Danny's DNA on that cigarette butt and called to tell him first which isn't necessarily something a keener would do...although she obviously has an affection for him so it makes sense and probably put her higher in his regard books. :) Then she's the one he looks at when he's being stripped (don't get dirty now folks, focus here ;) of his badge and gun which I found interesting. She's also the one who comes in to collect the evidence off Louie at the hospital and sounds quite genuinely concerned about him. I liked the fact that though they had her involved it was subtle and not over the top...she was very obviously not being the primary relationship focus, which was good.

The Mac/Danny dynamic...bloody brilliant! Honestly it really was. I loved the fact that there was DRAMA without the melodrama. They didn't drag out this petty distrust issue that they had last year. Danny didn't freak out when Mac said he was a murder suspect and I loved how he stepped up to the plate when Mac said it was on record and he said 'I don't need a boss right now I need a friend'...that was great. And Mac became that friend for him which just, yeah don't get me started...the explanation as to how his cigarette butt got into the grave was interesting and I sorta suspected that Louie was a Tanglewood boy, what I didn't expect was a flashback to fifteen years previous where Carmine looked hilarious...I got why they did it...but damn I couldn't stop laughing...the hat, the whole outfit...the fact that Louie called him a geek. It showed him as so awkward and made me believe the scientist part of him more. Since right now he looks like a player who got a good job...so I did like the flashback...but man funny!

I liked how Danny told the whole story to Mac, looking him right in the eye not wavering for a second. And the dramatic pause before Mac said 'I believe you' just cut into me...I was almost screaming at the screen 'Don't you dare say he's the killer Mac, don't you dare!!' Then the fervancy that Mac investigates was beautiful. He tackled that case with an obvious passion, he wanted to get one of his own in the clear and you could see that was his primary goal. The fact that Louie is really the one who did it at the end was a twist I didn't expect and throroughly enjoyed. The fact that Danny's older brother wanted to be sure he got his brother in the clear and risked his life to do it! I don't blame Danny for that speech to Louie at the end there. Even if I'm pissed at Carmine for making me cry. Wow, I mean honestly that man is friggin' talented, hot yes, but FRIGGIN' talented!! When he choked up at the end of his speech saying he loved his brother and then had to leave to get some air...it played right into how I expect him to be. He's emotional but doesn't embrace emotion without a fight. It wasn't until Mac actually said that it was Louie who put Danny in the clear that Danny broke down. And seriously if the tears weren't flowing before that they sure were when he started saying how bad Louie was beat. You could tell it was just slamming into him that his brother and done that for him. And after all the years of thinking his brother hated him that was probably an insane blow. (As a sidenote I find it interesting that Mac said Lindsay told him that Danny had heard the tape...what did she run over to the hospital with it? How involved is she? It just seemed an intersting addition...I liked the subtly...still a shipper I'm sorry. ;)

This is turning into a damn book so I'll shut up now. Oooh can't wait for next week with the whole Stella thing...looks like her man is posting their sex exploits on the net. And I do believe this is the first time we've every seen a CSI rolling around in bed with someone...and boy were they rolling...like really didn't they get dizzy?? And of course she was wearing a shirt that had to show her gills...the girls need to breathe after all.

Ehm I'll shut up now. :)
