Re: CSI: NY Season 5 Spoiler Dicussion - Back in the Big Apple
I would have posted sooner, but my boot made contact with my monitor. I just happened to be wearing it at the time.
So many things to catch up on here.
What another perky little article there. So cheerful. Initial responses?
- Oh hallefreakinleujah, they've discovered the island they've been living on is Manhattan! Silly F:censored:ers.
- Oh predictable projectile DL barfage. I luvs ya finally come to light, and a ring? Way to be edgy and soooo twenty-first century. Pregnant? Do da right thing. Buy a ring.
Christ but I can only laugh at teh clips Veasey shovels. As for making the ride "sexy, dangerous, fun, adventurous, and with a grounded believable motive?" I think I'm not understanding the same meaning of those words as she seems to use them for. Art is subjective, sure. But spin is spin. And Crap is crap. Cementing DL thru adopting a RL pregnancy into a fictional relationship and then doing it up oh so conventionally with a ring anhd foregoing even that potential for independent character development is royally rank.
- Yay Stella. Yay Hawkes. Some redeeming elements to the season's course outside DL.
But DL. Crap. Crap crap crap. Crappage. Crappisto. Crapperama. DramaLlamadingdong.

L: Danny, I'm pregnant *passes over ultrasound*
D: Is that mine?
L: No. It's Sid's. I've been trying to find a way to tell you...
D: Wait, Lindsay, no!
L: I'm sorry Danny. I love you, but -
D: I don't believe you. It's mine. It has to be. If it weren't for you it would be Rikki's instead. How can all this be so wasted?
L: I know. I'd say it's my fault. But nothing's ever my fault.
D: I know. It's mine. It's all mine. But I'm the utility guy. It's what I do. Who else are they gonna dump this kind of complicated stuff on? So I musta screwed up again. But screwing up is fun.
L: It can be, with tequila. Okay the baby's yours. But Sid understands. I was just so tired of trying to hide it. I was, like, gosh, this is hard. Being pregnant, and having to stand behind furniture all the time. Sid didn't care. He sees the Montana behind the furniture. He's got that virtual scanning doohickey thing.
D: Marry me, Lindsay. We'll figure out a way to make this right. The writers are trying so hard to fix this.
L: No. I luvs u, but no. Not yet. I know you. I know you'll come crawling back.
D: But I luvs u too.
L: No. Not yet. I expect nothing from you. Besides crawling back.
D: Are you even hearing me?
L: No. Not yet.
D: *sighs* But we have an Uber Special Deep Connection, called TPTB. Or maybe TB. I hear TB's curable. What about TPTB?
L: No. Not yet.
D: *grumbles exasperatedly* But we have a Special Unique Bond. Called Suspension of Disbelief.
L: No. That's mine. I think in pretend. No one else needs that. Back off from my - whatever it is you just said. I can do this alone. I'm from Montana. I don't need anyone to hold me up. I've got furniture.
D: Lindsay, please. Aren't we being Open and Honest and Caring in how we handle this? It's the twenty first century. How can anyone raise a child alone? It's just not done. Is it? I mean, what *will* the other shows think? We wouldn't want to alienate any viewers now. So. Accept my ring?
L: No. Not yet.
D: Would it help if I put it thru my nose? Or somewhere else even?
L: No. Not yet.
D: But, but what about the ratings? What'll happen to them?
L: Trust me, they'll spike. They may crash after, but everyone will tune in. We're like a train wreck, absolutely grotesquely fasscinating. Even one night is worth it. Was for us, wasn't it?
D: I'm still trying to figure that out. Back to my question. I want us to be together. Work it out. Whaddaya say?
L: No. You're inconsiderate. You forgot my birthday. You know I wanted another fishing pole.
D: I what? I forgot? I know what your father gave you when you were a kid. I forget stuff? You left out evidence. Bolted from crime scenes. And, I think you stole my glasses. I want them back you know.
L: I gave them to Horatio. I'm looking for a solid, stand up guy with absolute Integrity to be my BabyDaddee. We've also been seeing each other for nearly two years now. We share similar tastes in acting and fromage. We have so much in common. Not like you and me. I want the father of my child to be... to be... tall.
D: WTF? You're nuts. Come back to me Lindsay. Stop running away. How long do I hafta chase you? I said I'll be there for you. I finally said I luv u. I even said that we ...we... er, um, that we're a Good Thing. Yeah. A Good Thing. That's what we are. I just asked you to marry me. I gave up my glasses, trying to find some new life for me, for us. I even rode emocycle and spilled my guts to complete strangers. What are you on? As a matter of fact, what the hell am I on? Hm. Mebbe I should think about this. I mean, maybe we're not such a Good Thing.
L: Yes, Danny, oh yes, I'll marry you! I love you with all my heart, and the whole state of Montana. It'll be a shotgun wedding like you've never seen before! It'll be fantabulous! We'll invite all the other franchises, everyone will be there!
D: Whoa. Wait a sec. I said I think -
L: First CSI baby! That's us! *claps excitedly* And the first CSI marriage! With flowers! And fishing poles!
D: - that I really need to think about this now -
L: And bowie knives. And - ...
Flack: Don't do it Danno! Don't leave me. Who will I swing with? I mean, sit on swings with?
Stella: Will there be stairs? I don't like stairs.
Mac: Will there be anyone to yell at? If so, I'm there. Hell, I'll give ya both away! Glad to. And didn't I tell ya, way back in S1? Danny? Eh eh eh? Ha. Pay up, Hawkes, I win the bet.
Sheldon: Yeah yeah yeah. Don't rub it in. I can't believe I've lost screen time for this. I mean, does anyone even know where I'm from?
Adam: Do you think glasses make good wedding gifts? And do you think I could DJ the reception?
Sid: You're really gonna say yes, Lindsay? What about us? You saying you prefer furniture now? I guess it was always about the pool table for you, wasn't it. But hey. No hard feelings. I'll even cater the wedding for you. I was a chef, ya know.
Sheldon: Ya know, there was a time I wanted to be a sculptor.
Mac: I know, Sheldon. There was a time I wanted to go to the moon. Never made it though. Bastards.
Aiden: Timing is everything, kids. Good luck. I'm so outta here. Suckas.
::headdesk::
The fact that writers were pushing that this would be so "not typical" is what is really frustrating me (besides the fact that we've seen no evidence that Danny really loves Lindsay enough for a proposal either way). Was this honestly what they thought would be not typical? If they do, they need to pull their heads out of the sand pronto...
Pull their heads out of somewhere. Somewhere 'more organic' perhaps.
I'm waiting to see what happens, but I think CSI: NY could turn into a more LOLtastic show than Miami. That's hard to do when Miami's got H and his Shades of Justice. I just wonder how long Gary Sinese and Carmine Giovinazzo will stick around for the LULZ.
At least TPTB are actually admitting they're entering soap opera territory and not trying to totally pass themselves off as a serious crime drama to fans who know better. But it really is a shame that they went from the awesomeness of S1 to such a craptastic story line as the Drama Llama. So much for hoping Carmine will still get some good story lines despite Danny being tied to Lindsay and little Dindsay Dantana Monroe-Messer. Well, I was somewhat pleasantly surprised by the "bomb dropping" episode so maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised by how they move on from here. I'm not dumb enough to hold my breath for it though. :shifty:
Candlelit vigil for S1. Not holding my breath for anything except while having to sit thru, shall we say, aromatic, DL scenes. I'll see how long that proves a worthy endeavour. Have always said DL's having more of an impact on the show than it should ever have been permitted to. I'm not surprised by how they er, propose to handle all this. Just wish they'd give us a little more credit than to try and shovel it all off as a fantastic development full of fantastic opportunities. I can't swallow that anymore, and while I understand they hafta support and promote the show, that kind of stuff does little to generate any credibility, especially in light of what we've had to sit thru onscreen. S5.01-.08 were so promising. And now this? Ack. Hope the writers have time to adapt further scripts to a higher standard.
Rikki would totally kick Lindsay's ass. Rikki PWNS Lindsay in every way possible.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
From Ausiello.
Big Mac's under attack from
Coach Fox! Craig T. Nelson is joining
CSI: NY for a three-episode arc, a CBS spokesperson confirms. He'll play Robert Parker, an extremely powerful publishing magnate and a nemesis to Gary Sinise's Mac Taylor.
He's also rumored to be the real father of Lindsay's unborn baby, but I have yet to verify that. One possible reason: I just made that up to see if anyone was paying attention.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
WTF does it tell you when a platform that promotes television shows comes out with that?
But perhaps they'll do it Warrick style and they'l just show up to a crime scene at the end of the season with wedding bands and act all "What? Oh this... yeah, we, um... got married. :S"
Can only hope, but I very much doubt TPTB will be able to resist dragging this whole thing out. Mebbe they'll have the wedding in the offseason so we won't hafta go there. Do a la Princess Bride, with Peter Cook. "Mahwidge. Wuv, twu wuv, iz da weason, we ah gathawwwwwed, heya togedduuuuh, today." That I might be able to stomach.
Mac has so many nemeses that I think I've lost count. Does anyone not on the team actually like Mac Taylor? :lol:
Man. I know everyone needs a nemesis, but hell. I just hate crappy persecution based stuff as much as I detest crappily written frivolous hook ups that do nothing to serve the characters. Wary and waiting to see.
Ok, I have no idea where to post this - it's not a spoiler, but I had to share:
CSI: North Pole
It's kind of dumb, but I laughed anyway. Particularly at which characters they put with which voices.
Cute, and funny. I think using the soundclips is what made it so good. :lol:
Thanks for sharing the link.
