==========================
I LOVE Anthony Michael Hall! I'm a HUGE fan of "The Dead Zone" and many other shows/movies he has been associated with. He's one of the rare actors who can pull off playing the good guy and evil incarnate and be believable.
I'm really looking forward to this.
LOL
That was actually the first thing my cousin, his aunt (who is also a huge CSI Miami fan) said about him...."he does do evil well" Which is true...he can pull off the really nice good samaritan as he did in the Dead Zone or as you said, evil incarnate. :lol:
Next time I talk to or see him I will tell him that!!! :lol:
My opinion is this: if Adam Rodriguez would have been able to renew his contract without cr*p from CBS, I think we would have seen a far different relationship with E/C this season. I think that the writers had to sramble and rewrite loads, because that's what it feels like to me. CBS, after failed negotiations, told the producers of CSIM that they wanted Delko killed off. Adam, whenhearing this, went to Producer, Ann Donohue, and talked with her about it and she went to bat for him and won him the ten episode deal with the open door policy for a full return. I believe that was in TV Guide and if I can find the exact article, I'll post it.
Before the bad contract negotiations, E/C did have a mature relationship. I think this is the writers backpedalling because they planned on something else and were caught off guard and can't spin the stories fast enough at this point. Not the most professional of avenues to take, but one more born of panic and confusion. In the article quoted earlier in the thread, Adam and Emily are still game and willing to play (okay, I think it beyond sweet and adorable that he misses her face, which means that they're such loving friends that a phone call just doesn't do it) the game and continue he relationship with what they're given. I dunno, but I'm looking for next week's Delko for the Defense for E/C scenes and any indication on the status of their relationship. Where I'd like it to go, regardless of whether Adam comes back to the series or not....I'd like to see Eric get down on one knee and Calleigh accept. The wedding being seen isn't necessary for me. Just the knowledge is. Anyway, I'm not keeping my fingers crossed or holding my breath for it. The writers drop the ball far too much. Some of our fan fiction writers do a far better and more professional job....maybe they should apply for a job on the writing staff.
I couldn't agree more with your assessment about E/C. I think the writers had to scramble and when our writers are forced to scramble and rework things on the fly things tend to not work out so well. I would love to see a happy ending too. It is obvious that Adam and Emily are happy that the writers are still working the E/C relationship angle and seem to be willing to work with whatever they are given.
In the end, it is pretty obvious that writers had to scramble and rewrite. So we will all just have to deal with it and see how it plays out. However, the writers did not have to go this route knowing, when they filmed 803 (the ep in which Eric does the worst job of breaking up with Calleigh ever) that Adam would be around for 8 additional eps after....so while I am happy the writers are paying attention and trying to close out the E/C storyline..I think their ideas are lacking....then again, you all know the issues I have had with the writers of this show. Like I said above, when our writers are backed into a corner or forced to do things on the fly, they flounder and they flounder big time....case in point, quite a few eps thus far this season!
But I stopped a long time ago expecting the writers to change so whatever the writers decide to give me, the fan, in ways of E/C (considering Adam is gone) and things in general, I will work with....I am not saying I am happy about it, I am just saying that I am willing to deal with it b/c I can't change it.
This season of this show has been less than stellar....to be completely honest the stories have been boring. Every week I tune in hoping to be "wowed" or surprised and every week I am disappointed and completely bored with what is on the screen. This season might actually give the crappy season 4 a run for its money in the "worst season ever" department unless something changes or picks up. There was once a time when this show, imo, was the best of all the 3 CSI's....not so anymore.
