Seriously? I haven't watched one episode of any variety of our beloved show. Aren't I just horrible?!?! lol. Glad to hear your thoughts on the show Krista **and I hear congrats in order!!** I guess that's it for now - I'll post more after I actually see the NY episode but from what I've read there's a lot of nekkid people...lol

I'm just now watching the NY premiere. Why does everyone have to be nekkid all the time? I mean, could they not afford to clothe all the extras? Seriously.

And who are all the pretty new girls? Peyton and Angel? Dream, have we used those names before in our stories? I can't remember. :P

"Sid, you're going to that creepy place again." I love it! I'm so glad Hammerback is back. And wait a minute, didn't Hawkes have facial hair last season? Also, I think our cdg can't grow the facial hair between his mustache and beard, like my husband. Or maybe he likes it that way. What's with all perma-5:00 shadow? And what the heck exploded all over Adam's face? Wow, that's a lotta face fur.

It was a decent season opener - not nearly as dramatic as Criminal Minds, but we're not talking about that show here. :) I'm looking forward to what's in store.

Whoo hoo - Season premiere tomorrow - I can't wait!!!

Wow - where to start? Beware possible spoilers....




CSI: NY...

I really liked this episode, minus the scene where they are showing Mac tying off a bloodied and battered Flack. I could have done without that scene - however, I absolutely loved the scene where Mac ordered the bomber-guy to shoulder his weapon...It sent shivers down my spine. I could go on and on...I loved the last scene in the hospital when they all showed up to support Flack. It just showed the "family" that they've become. Very Nice.

Being the Danny-Lindsay shipper that I am, I loved the last line between Danny and Lindsay - "So you still want that ride?" How many inappropriate answers are there to that question? lol. That's all I'm gonna say.

CSI:MIAMI

Okay...Well there are a lot of little nit-picky things that I have problems with - but number one is - are we going to have a international CSI? CSI:Brazil?? Or is it going to be the return of Yelina and Ray Caine?

All in all - I thought this season was a bit too dramatic and slightly unrealistic (ok - maybe slightly is generous). Next season should be interesting to say the least.

And alright - here goes...I cannot believe that they made the mole so obvious. I had many arguments with myself about whether or not it was BoaVista (aka The Snake), and it turns out that she was. At the beginning of the season, I thought it was odd that she just showed up out of nowhere with a grant to upgrade the lab and all that jazz. Then she just started showing up at crime scenes, and the house that she can afford...etc; it truly does make sense now. I wonder if she'll still be there next season.

And speaking of rotten people, how about that ADA and the Federal Money guy. How low can you get? Some people...


CSI: Vegas

What an interesting season ender. Who would have thought Grissom and Sara? I've heard the rumors of them "hooking" up, but I never particularly shipped them. Personally I would have preferred Sara with Nick, but that's just my opinion....

I'm glad that Brass is going to live, or atleast that's the way they left it. I can't believe that his daughter's reaction to him laying in the hospital, to check into his death benefits and such. Hopefully they'll expand on this next season.



All in all, I'm glad for a break, as it's been a long season. Sorry I didn't babble (lol) as much as usual -- it's been a long day and I just want to kick up my feet and relax. I can't wait to read everyone else's reactions. :)

I have to say, NY went out with a definite bang yesterday (pun intended!). My only complaints were that while searching an unstable, just-bombed building for evidence, apparently Danny thought himself far too good looking to wear a hard hat. He and Mac were also too good looking to bother to wear bomb protection when they first went into the library for the second bomb.

Seriously, I know these men are gorgeous, but is it really that humiliating to them to protect themselves with hard hats and bomb armour? LOL

Poor, poor, poor Flack. Entrails everywhere! I have to say, the guy who helped Mac tie off that artery or whatever it was had a stronger stomach than me! I would've puked everywhere. "I'm sorry, you want me to put my fingers where now? I don't think so. The man's gorgeous and everything, but I'm about to lose my lunch over here!"

I'm glad they didn't kill Flack off. With all the CSI trauma and death lately, I just would not have been able to handle that.

What did everyone else think??

I just about cried. I can't believe they did that to Aiden. Cannot. Believe. So. Distressed.

It was one thing to fire her - this was... yeah. Something else all together. If only they didn't have a stupid second case. Seems to be the biggest complaint about the 'really good' eps of NY lately. A boring-by-comparison B case when all I want is for them to deal with the A case.

Who cares about a stinkin' Marine when this happens??

*big dramatic sighs and sobs*

I'll be okay. Really, I will.

I'm sitting here, watching a rerun of Law & Order Special Victims unit when who should pop up into the episode but our country girl turned New Yorker... The episode name is Manhunt...She plays a victim. Thought you'd want to know....

Wow. What an episode (and I'm being timely!! LOL)!! Where to start....I loved the beginning. The interaction between Mac, Stella and Lindsay was interesting...but I loved the part about where Danny said the view is better than looking at a wheat field and she asks him if he's ever seen a wheat field. "What's to see? It's wheat." Classic.

Sid...Wow. We learned a little too much about Sid tonight - didn't exactly need to know that he's had a threesome before. But it was worth it to see the look on Hawkes face - totally priceless.
I also had to laugh because of what Sid to Lindsay...Glad to see that it's becoming obvious to others in the lab....
Lindsay "Think Danny calls me Montana because I'm a 49ers Fan?"
Sid "No, he calls you that because he's got a crush on you."

It's was also nice to see that Stella isn't completely over what happened last week. She pauses when they first examine the body and there was the small mark by her eye. Helped with the continuity, but I wished that they would mention something about Louie in passing or otherwise, but I digress. And the nod to last week's episode with Laura's story about her killing her ex-boyfriend was an interesting touch.

I also noticed that the actress who played Sara (the mermaid) looked very similar to Lindsay. I wonder if that was intentionally or if it was just me. You could definitely see that she identified with her. I wonder if this is going to lead into a cross over to next season delving deeper into her "dark secret". And how sweet was Danny during this case? Definitely matured, if it wasn't evident in RSRD it definitely is here...and my little heart is all a flutter....lol.

How great was it to see Lindsay take the lead on this case? She was totally take charge and makes me feel like she's officially a part of the team...does that make sense? It's like she's not on probation anymore. You could see that she was definitely affected by this case...It was also good to see Mac come to her to make sure that she was handling things ok. The ending was a little dark with her going to see Sara's murderer...but it leaves a possible story arc for next season...

Now the whole threesome case...When he and Hawkes were going over the house that the trinogamos couple lived in was too funny - Hawkes and his robospanker. I had tears...but that could be just because I'm overtired.

Mac...he was hot in this episode. The whole "Get the hell out of my building." was just smoking. He was all just tough...

There wasn't enough Flack though!!! What was our tough NYC Detective doing? I definitely missed him this episode and there was a definite difference in the feel of the episode without him around as much.

And then the preview...wow...It looks like they are finally putting the debate about whether Aiden will be rejoining the show to rest...You have to feel bad for everyone because they were really close to her, but from the preview I think Danny is going to take it harder than everyone else seeing as how they were "partners". You kinda have to feel bad for the guy, first his brother and now his former partner...I wonder if it'll be Lindsay he turns to for comfort....


Ok - I think I hit everything that I like about the episode...Can't wait to see what everyone else thinks!

Ok - Sorry about these being so late - I hate when life is so hectic! This is probably going to be totally long and I apologize. I promise to be more timely in the future.

CSI: NY

Run Silent Run Deep

I loved, absolutely loved this episode. There are so many different things that I could say about this episode, probably too many to name here - so I'll try to limit it to the best points. Honestly think it was the best episode of the season, but maybe that's because I'm a little biased. Lol I loved how they brought Tanglewood back into the picture, such a simple, unsuspecting way. . It definitely gave Danny's character more depth and showcased Carmine's infinite acting abilities. Did anyone else think that Sonny Sasone aged badly? Lol. Flack - he was also wonderful during this episode and you learned that he really does have more to him than just his snarky, sarcastic self, especially after makes the comment to Flack about staying with Danny and Flack is like "Don't worry, we're not going anywhere."

I agree totally with Dream about the whole underwear comment - too funny - and about the whole Danny/Lindsay dynamic -- I would think that they've got to be building to something or maybe they're just teasing us, just to see us shippers sweat. I also liked the Mac/Danny interaction because it shows, as Dream said, how much the characters have evolved and matured. It's always good to see character growth.

I loved the flashback scene. It really did add a lot to the backstory, as well as being funny to watch. It also made Sonny's comment at the end of Tanglewood make more sense.


All Access

This episode...wow. Honestly, that's all I could think when I saw the preview, then watching the episode...wow. There are so many things...You would never think of Stella as being someone with weakness, yet in this episode she was and it was refreshing. Despite how we all make fun of her..um..gills, I've (personally) never been one to see her with a real weakness. We've seen her get frustrated when she can't solve a case but she's always been "strong". Does that make sense? And while, granted being beaten and nearly killed isn't necessarily a way I would want to have happen to anyone, it's nice to see that each character has their quirks and flaws. I really hope that makes sense to everyone.

Did anyone else think that Frankie was going to turn out to be a friggin' psychopathic freak?!? Oh my word...Wow. He like flipped a switch - did he go off his meds? It was just bizarre...and frightening...Maybe because there's a realistic factor that it could happen to anyone........

I also, like Dream, cringed when I saw that another music star was being showcased on the show. I did not, absolutely did not like Travis Barker on CSI: Vegas, but I'll get into that more later. But I was pleasantly surprised with Kid Rock's performance and subsequent acting. There were times however, that I found it hard to follow the case involving him got lost in the shuffle amongst Stella's case. But maybe that was just me and I wasn't paying close enough attention.

Again, I have to agree with Dream that the scene with Stella cutting her fingers with the razor was a bit gruesome to say the least, but I feel that the scenes with Flack made up for that. Who knew that Flack could be that caring and sensitive? I mean yeah, he was with Danny to a point too, but he wasn't just being a dectective when he was talking to Stella, he was being a true friend. I'm not sure that in real life they would have let him question her given their friendship, but I'm going along with the theory that he told them she would talk more freely to him than anyone else...so there. :-p

Stealing Home

This looks to be another interesting episode...Especially when the woman slaps Mac, I'm wondering what Stella is going to do. The B Case looks like it might be building up to some character development for Lindsay, hopefully since I would like to know more about her other than she's from Montana and she replaced the very much loved Aidan (not that I didn't love her, just that she's gone, and while she's coming back to assist in solving a case, she's not staying).



CSI: VEGAS

Poppin' Tags

Personally, while I liked this episode, I wasn't thrilled with it. Maybe because it just didn't...make total sense to me. I understood the premise and everything, it just lacked...depth. Almost as if it was an episode that was thought of last minute to fill a slot, but again maybe it's just me.

I do agree with Dream (I know I know again!) that Travis Barker can not act to save oxygen. The scenes with him had me wondering if I would have a less painful time watching the grass grow.

I just didn't care for this episode as much as others...

Rashomama

I thought that this episode was kinda funny. There were just so many coincidences that occured -- it was refreshing to see a slightly comical aspect brought into an episode.

And that mother...whew...made me thankful for mine...lol.

CSI: MIAMI

Dead Air (aka As The Lab Turns --- lol)

Dream said it best...What is going on with Miami? (I'm sorry if I'm repeating some things) Is it turning into an primetime soap opera? Can we say confusing?? Where did the case go? I blinked and it was solved. Why is it that this show seems to have all of the dysfunctional relationships? I mean, Natalia calls for a break between her and Delko, then Ryan goes after her, but she's mad at Delko? Isn't there a code or something between guys that states no dating the ex? Just seems weird to me. Personally I don't like Natalia...she just seemed to come out of nowhere and just fills in gaps in the story arcs. And what is up with Ryan asking Delko for the money to fund his date? I really couldn't believe that when I read it in Dream's review, I honestly have to say that I didn't believe it, thinking that maybe she missed something earlier in the episode. However I watched it and there was nothing, just Ryan with some lame excuse about leaving his money at home...what is up with that??? Ever heard of an atm? Or using your debit/credit/check card at the restaurant??? Come on -- where is the realism?

Marisol and H...Where to begin - I've said it in another post - she is the healthiest looking cancer patient that I have ever seen. And (I'm sorry I'm not sure who said it) H does seem to have a hero/save the victim/fix the problem/make everything sunshine-y complex going on. But again, everyone has a quirk, they just all seem to land in Miami...wonder if there's something in the water.

Ok - I think I've hit everything that I wanted to say - sorry if I repeated alot of things, it wasn't intentional. Congrats if you haven't gotten bored by this point and thanks for reading! :D

Kay, Miami last night... I liked the cases - the play on the avian flu panic and the daughter who amplified the sins of the mother were good, solid, engaging cases.

But I still strongly dislike the whole Horatio/Marisol thing.

I don't know exactly what they're building up to with the "Someone's trying to bring down this lab" deal-y, but why they have to involve 'the most beautiful cancer patient in the world' is beyond me. Just so we can see H threaten more people? Man, he gets away with threatening a lot of people in high positions. What is up with that? And no one ever says to him, "Um, excuse me. You can't talk to me like that. I may have you arrested for uttering threats." That's what I would say. Stupid H and his 'sunglasses of justice'. I'm starting to think the only reason H troubles to continue to work in Miami is because the Super Friends weren't accepting applications. LOL

Okay, that's a little apart from my dislike of the Horatio/Marisol thing. The scene at the end - what was that? A negotiation?

Marisol: You said you would be there for me.

H: Yes, barring any cape incidents.

Marisol: You know that I am weak, even though I am 'the most beautiful cancer patient in the world.'

H: Yes, my sunglasses of justice have revealed this to me.

Marisol: Then you know I am in need of a protector.

H: Until someone more frail comes along, I can be that protector.

Marisol: Then you agree to marry me?

H: Indeed. But I worry that you will not accept me when I reveal my alter ego to you.

Marisol: Whoever this alter ego is, I will accept him.

H: Good. Shall we consummate our agreement?

Marisol: No. I cannot bear to think of you sans clothes. You look like a pug.

H: I understand. There is one more thing. You must swear to me that your brother will never know of anything that goes on in your life or between us.

Marisol: Since meeting you, I have hated my brother and have refused to speak to him, despite the fact that he risked his job and even his life for me before you came along.

H: He is weak. He wears no cape.

Marisol: Neither does he wear sunglasses of justice. And he hangs out with whiny tattle-tales like Wolfe.

H: Speak not ill of Wolfe. He is my protege and will one day inherit the sunglasses of justice.

Marisol: Forgive me. I was not aware.

H: There are many things you cannot know, my dear. Come, lay your head on my shoulder. My power shall keep you from losing your hair during your cancer treatments.

Marisol: Oh, Horatio.

H: I know. I am just that wonderful.

And scene! LOL

Man, I need more sleep!
