I wrote my thoughts in the epi. thread. But I LOVED the last 10 minutes. I hope that their is continuity in the premier, but don't want to get too excited since we all know how that goes! -- I have been trying not to read spoilers because they have left me disappointed all season ( or empty when there was no follow through). -- I think that staying away from the spoilers added a lot to my enjoyment of the final moments in this episode.

Here's to season 10!
 
Totally awesome job by Eva and David last night! Wow ... it's definitely going to be a long summer. :(

Talk about calm desperation once that car hit the water! Eva was perfect. And she looked beautiful ... but that's the norm for her.

David was also pitch perfect in his character's struggle to help Natalia after he was hit.

Like everyone else I really hope there is follow through that allows us to see the whole sequence of events AND the aftermath for our characters.

If season 10 stays on the course set by season 9 - it's gonna be another great season!

Waiting very impatiently for a summer that just started to be over already! :lol:
 
Completely agree with you, Michya! That ending was down-right amazing! I couldn't sleep last night because my mind wouldn't let go of it! lol.

I'm gonna attempt to survive this summer until premiere time again... but it's going to be super, flippin' hard.
 
WOW OH WOAW!!!!!

GUYS ARE YOU LOSING YOUR MINDS AFTER THAT?!?!?!?! I'M SURE AS HELL AM!!!!

Oh my Lordie! Poor Natalia!!!! :eek::eek:

*breath breath* Now that was an episode! Eva rocked it! She hit every emotion perfectly and made them beliavable! The way she wanted for the kids to stay with their dad (and even fought for them - go Nat! :thumbsup:) - it was very true to her caring nature.

I loved how she worried about Horatio while protecting him too. Profesional yet compassionate - only Natalia can pull both off. :)

Though I don't know if she can pull off an escape! :( When the episode started with the car going into the water, and you could see her struggling to get out and screaming I honestly think my heart lepped from my chest! :eek: The panic was radiating off her in waves - I doubt anyone who watched didn't feel it.

I've said it before and I've said it again, Eva is an amazing actress! And because of her kick-ass preformance, I'll be twiddling my chewed thumbs till the new season - waiting for some spoilers about our favorite, beautiful DNA girl :thumbsup:
 
It's maybe twice I can think of that this show has left me in an absolute "hoh-ma-god" state. The ending crushed me -- had my hands over my mouth & everything....thank god everyone else was sleeping & didn't witness my freak-out. :lol:

I was so not expecting to go underwater with Natalia, & that part just had me wide-eyed & shocked. The sounds she was making even after the screen went black.....what torture!! I really don't know what else to say except for that I want the season 10 premiere - NOW!!
 
Ok guys, oh man, I still can't get over the last scene and yes it keeps replaying in my mind. It literally scared me!! Kinda a very dark ending I would say.

Shock aside, yes Eva did a brilliant job conveying the panic and when she couldn't get a reception that was when my heart broke. :( To add even more shock, after the scene went black, we even got to hear her scream. Geez. :(

I second Season 10 premier NOW please!!! :scream:
 
I heard this song the other day and though it fit our Natalia very much so I had to post it! It's called I am Woman by Jordin Sparks.


"I am (I am) woman (woman)
I am (I am) woman (woman)
I’m a woman
I’m a woman
Yes I am
Ain’t nobody else can do it like we can
Said I am (I am) woman (woman)
I am (I am) woman (woman)
I’m a woman
I’m a woman
Yes I am
Ain’t nobody else can do it quite like we can

It ain’t easy walkin’ in stilettos
But somebody gotta do it
Spend a day in my shoes
Then see what the hell I go through
It’s so rigorous
Doing what I do
Always on point
Always on cue
Life’s so hectic
Call it a zoo
Think you understand
If you only knew

I am (I am) woman (woman)
I am (I am) woman (woman)
I’m a woman
I’m a woman
Yes I am
Ain’t nobody else can do it like we can
Said I am (I am) woman (woman)
I am (I am) woman (woman)
I’m a woman
I’m a woman
Yes I am
Ain’t nobody else can do it quite like we can

I need fashion
Elegance is a passion
I built this body to relax in
Try to bring me down
I'm gonna get the last laugh in
Don't need to talk
I speak with actions
I've perfected the laws of attraction
I'm the whole package
Plus satisfaction
Better check yourself before you get what you're asking
Don't get it twisted
Give yourself a caution
Respect is all that I'm asking
Woman plus life
Equals alright
The woman no lie
I'd like to see you try


I am (I am) woman (woman)
I am (I am) woman (woman)
I’m a woman
I’m a woman
Yes I am
Ain’t nobody else can do it like we can
Said I am (I am) woman (woman)
I am (I am) woman (woman)
I’m a woman
I’m a woman
Yes I am
Ain’t nobody else can do it quite like we can

Say yeah
Say yeah
Say I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I am woman
I am woman
I am woman
Yes I am


I am (I am) woman (woman)
I am (I am) woman (woman)
I’m a woman
I’m a woman
Yes I am
Ain’t nobody else can do it like we can
Said I am (I am) woman (woman)
I am (I am) woman (woman)
I’m a woman
I’m a woman
Yes I am
Ain’t nobody else can do it quite like we can"


I must say it's quite true!!! ;) Can someone make a sig and avatar with lyrics from this song?! I would love a few!!! :)
 
Here are the 2 songs I think of when I think of Eva or her character Natalia.
Both songs are from the 70's and both songs make me think of Eva's character Natalia.

I AM WOMAN by Helen Reddy
I am woman hear me roar in numbers too big to ignore
and I know too much to go back and pretend,
cause I've heard it all before
and I've been down there on the floor
and no ones ever going to keep me down again.

Oh, yes I am wise
but it's wisdom born of pain
yes I paid the price
but look how much I gained,
if I have to ... I can do anything!
I am strong (strong) I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

You can bend but never break me
cause it only serves to make me
more determined to achieve my final goal
and I'll come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul

Oh, yes I am wise
but it's wisdom born of pain
Oh, yes I've paid the price
but look how much I gained
If I have to
I can do anything
I am strong (strong) I am invincible (invincible)
I am Woman

I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe,
as I spread my loving arms across the land,
but I'm still an embryo
with a long, long way to go
until I make my brother understand

Oh, yes I am wise
but it's wisdom born of pain-
Oh, yes I've paid the price
but look how much I gained
If I have to
I can do anything

I am strong (strong) I am invincible (invincible)

I am woman

I am Woman

I am Woman
I am Woman,
I am invincible
I am Woman.

SHE'S A LADY by Tom Jones
Well she's all you'd ever want
She's the kind I'd like to flaunt and take to dinner
Well she always knows her place
She's got style, she's got grace, she's a winner.

She's a Lady. Whoa whoa whoa, she's a Lady
Talkin' about that little Lady, and the Lady is mine.

Well she's never in the way
Something always nice to say, Oh what a blessing.
I can leave her on her own
Knowing she's okay alone, and there's no messing.

She's a Lady. Whoa whoa whoa, she's a Lady
Talkin' about that little Lady, and the Lady is mine.

Well she never asks for very much and I don't refuse her
Always treat her with respect, I never would abuse her.
What she's got is hard to find, and I don't want to lose her.
Help me build a mansion from my little pile of clay. Hey, hey, hey

Well she knows what I'm about,
She can take what I dish out, and that's not easy.
Well she knows me through and through,
She knows just what to do, and how to please me.

She's a Lady. Whoa whoa whoa, she's a Lady
Talkin' about that little Lady, and the Lady is mine.

Yeah yeah yeah, She's a Lady
Listen to me baby, She's a Lady
Whoa whoa whoa, She's a Lady
And the Lady is mine

Yeah yeah yeah, She's a Lady
Talkin' about this little Lady
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
And the Lady is mine

Yeah yeah, She's a Lady
And the Lady is mine.

Not that I'm against lyrics relating to Natalia (I love everything that relates to her ;)) - do you think we should get a discussion going?

We have seen alot of Nat this season (YAY!) - but what would you like to see next year?

1) Nick - of her actual marriage to him or maybe the attack that inspired the dream in Sleepless

2) Other parts of her past (maybe something relating to her FBI days? ;))

3) Connecting to a case/ playing a major role in a case.

4) A romance (with a certain Mr. Wolfe I hope :lol:)

5) Family (A visit from Anya again or maybe Christine? It'd be nice to see Natalia bond with her neices :))

OR

Anything else you can think of? :thumbsup:
 
Good discussion starter, Mel.

Previously I had commented on wanting Natalia to have some sort of Nick-breakdown/closure, but at this point I'd really like to just see Natalia move on. She's been through a ton (especially the cliffhanger) so I'd hate to see her have to relive those moments with Nick ontop of it all.

I'm not feeling it anymore with the whole Nick storyline anyway. I feel he's better left in the past so that Natalia can fully move forward. IMO, it's just time to let it go. But first, I would like to see one thing to completely close the deal: her open up about it in a heart-to-heart conversation with a member of the team (my preference would be Horatio, & have a quiet/personal setting like the locker room, or office). If I had the choice, it would come into play in just one episode that centers on abuse, she relates to it, & at the end she shares the full story in an "I'm a survivor and I'm moving on" type of manner. ;)


4) A romance
Sorry to leave out the rest, but you know where I stand on that one. :p
I personally think ending this series without having Natalia begin a good relationship would rob her & us - so yes, I do want to see this. I also think it would be a very good way in showing that indeed she's over her past/Nick. Nat's had a rough life in the love department, & even in the workplace (with victims/criminals) her kindness is often taken for granted. She deserves better.

As for #5/family:
Really I don't care whether or not we ever meet Christin (e or a?) or see Anya again. I know they're there, & we've already been given enough impression that they're rather close. However, one little piece of info I would appreciate is knowing where her & her family are from.

2) Other parts of her past (maybe something relating to her FBI days? ;))
I'd like to know what happened to Agent Mikey. Is he still in jail? Did he ever even go to jail? He was quite the jerk, I couldn't help but like thier interaction though.

Can't really think of anything else at the moment...except for that I want to see her rescued & alive in the premiere.
:p

I have a Wish List thread over at her official forum, so I've stated a whole long list of what I want to see and more to come. Whether it is about Nick, her past FBI days, all I wish to see but realistically given the uncertainty of the remaining life of the show, some storylines have to be sacrificed. :(

Pertaining to the cliff hanger, I want to see her going through a recovery phase for at least half of the season and then later will be when she starts to move on towards happier days. Basically a follow through.
