So it's Danny injured. I guess I was hoping for something different. It's not that I predicted it so much as vaguely suspected it. It really just feels somehow anticlimactic that he's the one hurt.
Great for all who love Danny drama. Can't say I'm terribly enthused. Guess I was hoping others might get some early season focus but it's perfectly in keeping with TPTB to try and hook the viewers in for numbers and early interest by using DL, and it will be DL and not just Danny, with the shiny rings on their fingers.
I guess above all I dread the worst for Lindsay's part in it, angsting, and dealing with her hubby and father of her child yada being injured for a certain period of time, additionally complicating that whole 'balancing work and family' protodrama. On paper, fine, yes, default, to be expected yada. On screen? Not optimistic. That could be a stone around any good teevee moments that might result for the storyline. Bleh. She'll get the weekly clean slate to prove me wrong, but four years has long burnt away any true interest I had, and sadly, Danny started to wane for me too. Mebbe this will bring him back. I just don't want to find myself as I was at certain points last season bemoaning the screentime spent. Maybe they'll knock it out of the park. I'm willing to be surprised. Will wait and see.
Wonder how long the show will milk all that for... :lol: Not long I hope. Can't you also just see Danny home with Lucy recuperating for Obligatory happy shiny moments too, possibly those that PV spoke of a ways back. If Flack can recover from a gut-spilling injury, and Sid can recover from radiation poisoning and all be none the worse for wear, they'll hopefully have Messer up and about relatively quickly. I'm really not sure how much I'll be willing to sit thru. I hope a cranky cooped up poodle gets as much screentime as any other related melodrama.
That could be interesting. Any of the team babysitting Messer as much as Lucy could be fun
And Flack--he just lost his girlfriend, and now his best friend gets shot. I want to see angry as hell Flack, because angry as hell Flack is hot. :devil:
If Flack gets some focus and good material from all this I will be far, far more ammenable to seeing poor Messer so suffer as part of it :lol: Imma bastard, I know. But yeah, if Flack's still reeling from losing Jess, is mulling the fact that he killed the guy in retribution, and then when they're all shot at Danny's the one injured, he could (and should) get some really good stuff to do and deal with. They all should to some degree, but it would be criminal to skim over Flack given how they ended last season.
Here is the article from Ausiello and a photo of her:
Shark actress Sarah Carter has snagged the coveted new series regular role on CSI: NY, sources confirm.
Carter will play a new clean-up tech who aspires to someday work in the crime lab. We'll find out later in the season that she's hiding a secret. My guess: She's... eh, I lost interest.
Thoughts?
Definitely not who I thought, nor wanted to play the role.
Oo. Um. Huh. Well. Uh. Kinda terribly unexcited by this. ...dammit.
So far nothing is stirring any interest for me. Damn you spoilers! :lol: Crap. Just. ...*sigh* :lol:
The casting I'm ambivalent to. I don't really remember her from Shark, though I didn't watch it much. Sure, a new character could have been an opportunity to add some diversity and/or New York flavor, etc. Ultimately, I guess we'll see who she's supposed to be.
For me, the news of the casting is kinda secondary to the other new tidbit of info there. What's really sinking my stomach here is the whole "Not CSI but Clean Up Tech Someday Aspiring Wif A Sekrit." Of course every character hasta have baggage of some sort.
I really hope she isn't just a plot purpose but a person.
I
really hope they don't pull devil from the inside type crap. An internal mole or suchlike as Miami did, and even NCIS did with the laywer/agent Lee and also had Abby's lab asst. Chip. Hope Kaye's story's not one of erosion from within in pursuit of a personal agenda, or someone else's external one. If she's gonna be a regular part of me doubts they'd pull something like that. Part of me completely believes they would and call it a brilliant idea. If she's above board and her sekrit isn't directly informing her drive, well, bleh again for formula but hope the material is good. Someone working their way into being a CSI could be interesting instead of just arriving as a newly hired one I suppose. But there are forensics techs who work the mass off assaults and break and enters and non-homicides etc. who would be shortlisted before a clean up technician, wouldn't there? TV. Evs. Just what she's cleaning up, metaphorically, I guess we'll see there too.
Nuthin personal to Sarah Carter, but I also hope Kaye is not Sheldon's love interest. Mostly, the last thing we need is another relationship with sekrits, or a pairing between (potential) regulars. Just. NO. :lol:
Still trying to keep an open mind, even as "Clean Up Tech wot Aspires Formerly known as New CSI" informs and modifies things in the mean time.
About the only things I'm warm and fuzzy about are the Emmy noms the Franchise got. Asner, congrats. And to Vegas for theirs. :bolian:
