Episode 8x24 - "All Fall Down" **CONTAINS SPOILERS**

[slower]

I think Adam was in the episode a lot more because the writers know he is staying for good for the next season. The patition that was signed by fans to keep him on I assume plays a big part in how is chary is played next year. If that make sense? (more scenes with him, ect.. fans spoke and thats what they want? you know?)

All the fans have not spoken. There is a faction that while we don't mind Adam's return; don't want to see Eric every minute of the show. Last night he was everywhere. I cannot repeat it enough this is DC's show; not Eric, not E/C. The last scene could have played out better than it did. Eric and Calleigh could have gone to lunch together; when they returned found everyone. Instead once again Calleigh on the floor with Delko cradling her screeming like a fool.

As for everyone that are hating on Eric and Calleigh.. :devil: .. lol.. well.. I'm a fan so I hope Emily stays on the show. Sure this season they have totally did a 360 with her chary, but it works. It just shows that she has grown as a person I guess. Maybe I'm wrong and I'm sure there are people that disagree with me, but that's just my opinion. We're entitled to them.

Be careful with the words like hate, basher, or bully. These words have been thrown around a little too much b/c we don't happen to like a particular storyline or hookup. It is absolutly disrespectful; and I for one am seriously tired of hearing that. If tptb wants to marry these two fine; just do it quietly and move on; with less emphasis on the melodramatic.

You are entitled to your opinion as are we. IMO the relationship has destroyed the old Calleigh; who was a strong independant woman. You don't have to lose yourself completely for the sake of a man and that is what I see in a character I use to adore.

The ending scene I think was just a natural reaction. I'm sure my phone would be the last thing on my mind (even though he was using it when he walked into the lab, lol) if I walked into a lab full of passed out colleagues. Eric yelling out for help like that was just him being worried and scared not just for his girlfriend but for everyone? I'm sure next season it will show him finally using his cell if they start off with that scene? Or him with her as they wheel her out on the gurny out of the lab? -Something like that?

Natural yes; but unecessary! No more hospital or guney scenes please. This is not a soap opera. Caleigh and Eric both have had too many of these scenes over the past couple of years.

Ryan did amazing, Jon Togo has always been great but this season I think he did fantastic (although Wolfe in Sheeps Clothing is one of my favorite episodes with him) he's really grown in the 6 of the 8 seasons he's been on the show. Fantastic job!

Agreed Ryan was fantastic. But, I knew he would be. From the moment he joined Miami I knew this was a powerhouse. He is probably the best young actor I have seen in a long time and so underrated.

Walter. I just love Walter that's all I can say and the same for Frank! I wish there were more scenes with them and Frank always has something witty to say that's why I love him so much.

I always love Walter and Frank; esp. with Ryan.:lol:

As for H... well there's nothing bad I can say about him. David Caruso is always amazing, no matter the one liner. Haha. :lol: He makes the show even better!

This is David's show; a little more of him please and of course Ryan!!! TPTB are you listening.

I just really hope the person they are "killing off" isn't one of our ORG's or mains. That would suck and wouldn't be fair to the fans that are so die hard about the show like I am and I'm sure the rest of us on here! The Sunday time slot I don't think will be too bad, at least I'm hoping it's not?

Agreed!! My only concern sports; pushing the time back or prempting the show to accomodate that venue.

But we have 3 months so lets see what happens. I know this summer we'll get some spoilers.. at least I'm hoping so! If not I don't know what I would do with myself! lol

IDK watch reruns? I just don't want to think about it.

I don't know what happened to the quotes; but I think you can understand my points.

TPTB really gets a kick out of torturing us over the summer huh! Well, I am not going to subject myself with that this time around. For all we know the title of the Season 9 opener is " Then They All Get Up". :lol:

:guffaw::lol::guffaw::lol: :guffaw::lol:



OMG!!!! LOVE IT! "All fall down" followed by "Then they all get up!" Tonight... on only on CBS!!!

 

[bgnogan]

OMG this finale kicked serious butt, It was even more intense than CSI/Vegas I sat on the edge of my chair, and was overwlemed by the whole cat and mouse game that Meissa played with Horatio. The whole episode from beginning to end was electrfying. And the low-life was not the one anybody thought it was. The last scene with the whole team being poisoned, and 'all falling down' dear gawd. I was horrified and sat with my mouth gaping:wtf: Poor Eric, having to find them, and caring so much about Calliegh, and BTW she's so sweet, soft spoken and beautiful, but tough as nails on a case, an appealing combination. Natalia also gorgeous, and all the guys so cute.. great finale:bolian:they're all going to be OK, there's the next season

Well said! I agree it was a great episode and I really enjoyed H in this one.


Can't wait for the next season!

 

[GregNickRyanFan]

Although watch them "cop-out" in September by killing off Valera or Dave, if they decide they can't lose anyone in the main cast

NOOOOOO! They can't kill either of them off either, I forbid it! :lol: I love them just as much as I do the regulars. I love Travers too. If they kill anyone off it should be Jenn (the mail clerk) or that girl in the green shirt who was coughing in the hallway.

Okay, I know what I said after they disposed of my guy last week. But in a fit of curiosity I watched the last few minutes. Once again, the writers are desperate and yet another episode is dumbed down.

Let me get this straight. Delko the Science Expert comes off the elevator and sees everyone lying unconscious. Hopefully he remembers, after getting shot in the head twice, that toxic gases and pathogens are colorless and odorless. Yet, instead of getting back onto the elevator and away from the toxic air to call 911, he goes running from room to room, breathing hard, exposing his skin and lungs, not even so much as covering his nose and mouth, in a search for you-know-who.

Emergency personnel are trained NEVER to go blindly into a dangerous situation. The old Delko would have found out WHAT caused this before putting himself at risk for death. But then again he's been shot in the head twice and walks around like nothing ever happened. So, for the sake of argument, let's say he was concerned for Calleigh and was just having a gut reaction. He didn't at least try to pull her out of there? He didn't check her pulse? Since he's worked at that lab, does he know where there might be oxygen?

*sigh* It's gonna be a long hot summer for some people. SOME people.

Last 2 minutes...plain laughable & sad for this show.....F.

I respectfully disagree.

It was only the last minute that was plain laughable and sad for the show. The second-to-last minute gets an A+ for me all because of Ryan's constipated face. I could watch him pass out over and over and over. :guffaw:

Ah. That would be the "minute" that I was referring to. I think you knew that though.

:guffaw::guffaw:Well yeah, okay. I'm with you there. Ryan now needs to pop some Metamucil and take the Browns to the Superbowl.

Eric didn't do anything wrong, he checked Walter but Walter was unconcious he then found Calleigh and he did check her pulse.

 

[ladyjr8]

oh they cant' do a episode title "they all get up" that was "Resurrection" when H suddenly was up and walking around and his fake shooting at the airport was all a setup...maybe it'll be "they all wake up"? no really it was just like sleeping beauty and the castle..wonder what Horatio's reaction to this all will be? gonna be along summer alright..

 

[MiamiWolfe]

I am pretty sick of cliffhangers so I wasn't horribly excited about it, but the idea of a serial killer and the solving of the puzzles was pretty clever.

Random thoughts:

--Liked everyone working and interacting with everyone else. Maybe a little less of Eric.

--Horatio is sure good with kids.

--It was good to see Calleigh back in Ballistics.

--I again really enjoyed Ryan. He looked so hot and his friendly banter and friendship with Walter is one of the good things to come out of this season. Again they got his character right; smart, hardworking and brainstorming well with the others. Hopefully he will continue to roam the halls of the Miami-Dade lab next year.

Ryan: "How many nerd clubs do you belong to?":lol:

--Lots of Natalia which is rare but very good. Loved watching Esai Morales flirt with her. I want her back too!!

--Frank cracks me up "I couldn't put it down":lol:

--Ryan and Eric heading for the pool. Two hot men running.

--I still hate that split screen

--That rhyme kept creeping me out

--I wanted to slap Janice

--I actually got a little upset watching everyone fall unconscience. I really don't want anything to happen to anyone. I have grown as fond of Jesse and Walter as I love Ryan and everyone else.

It is going to be a looooong summer for some of us. Let the games begin.

I cannot repeat it enough this is DC's show

I'm sorry, but I disagree very much with this.

CSI:Miami is not David Caruso's show. Is he the star? Yes, absolutely. But:

1) The show was not developed by and/or for DC. It was designed to be a spinoff of the original CSI. Sure, David may have been their first choice for the starring role, but I'm pretty sure the show would've happened even if he said "no". If it were really David's show, there is no way it would've happened without him.

I'm sure David did have some good input on aspects of the show related to the setting, because he lives in Miami. But being the star and providing some consult for certain aspects of the show does not equate to concrete ownership.

2) David is not an executive producer. I'm not sure if this was his choice or not. If it wasn't his choice, as in he wanted to produce but wasn't allowed to, then it's clear who really owns the show (CBS). However, if it was his choice/preference to not be a producer, then it's clear that David himself doesn't think it's his show, nor does he want it to be.

CSI:Miami is commanded by the team of scientists/CSIs/etc. Occasionally, they dig deep to get to the heart of a particular character, but except for the team leader, nobody is really more "important" than the other.

Being the star of a show may provide one with more "sway" when it comes to putting input. But it does not mean that they own it. The star of a show is still first and foremost an actor. Actors do what they are told. Sure, they can make some suggestions, and use their instincts to guide their performance, but they don't have the final say in much of anything.

Now, if what you meant by "this is DC's show" is "If DC left, CSI:Miami would tank FAST" and/or "CSI:Miami probably wouldn't have survived this long if DC wasn't cast as the lead", then feel free to ignore this entire post.

That chick was an absolute crazy! I thought she was too obvious at first to be the killer, but then as she started talking more I was pretty sure it was her. Then it wasn't! Bah!!

:lol: Certifiably batshit, I totally agree. I got the feeling halfway through that she was just a red herring, so I wasn't that shocked when she revealed herself to be one -- but finding out that she was purposely leading the CSIs on was impressive, I gotta say. You don't often see the CSI-teams on these shows fall into that kind of linear thinking (even if other officers on the show, who aren't a part of the team -- ie, Jake Berkeley, Conrad Ecklie -- fall into that pattern often). It made them a little more fallible. Great twist!

I don't think it's a cop out,probably what was planned all along. I don't believe it was ever said a CSI wouldn't get up.The interviews and articles seem to be worded so that it could have more than one outcome.

NOOOOOO! They can't kill either of them off either, I forbid it! :lol: I love them just as much as I do the regulars. I love Travers too. If they kill anyone off it should be Jenn (the mail clerk) or that girl in the green shirt who was coughing in the hallway.

LOL, after last year's NY hyped-up finale and flatline premiere, I am definitely calling TPTB's bluff on Miami this year. I honestly can't see anyone leaving for real; but if they're trying to be "brave" and follow through on the hype, I could see them deciding a secondary character should get the axe. Although...yeah, I'd really prefer it if they left Valera alone :lol: I really like her, and Dave's started growing on me since the crossover episodes. Haven't seen too much of Travers, though.
