Eric and Calleigh #37: Against All Odds

Monica1604 said:

Oh no, again bad news. I've read it at work and I have to say that it did not improve my mood at all:scream:.​

Spoiler: 8.03

I really don't understand why they are torturing us so much. Why so much drama again. I don't like it, it's just completly unnecessary. I don't get it, why they spent so much time building their relationship so carefully? Just to destroy all that after only few episodes. I'm really disappointed.
My only hope is that maybe they are protecting each other, I mean when they speak with IAB it's natural they can't say they are together. Though it still doesn't tune me too optimistic about the future of their realtionship.

The worst part is when Eric says she's his former girlfriend:wtf:. I'd never expect to hear such a thing from his mouth.

I admit that all this information makes me not want to watch the new season.

But maybe I'm overacting and they just need to sit together and explain everything to each other calmly. It's really hard to believe that it could end so badly after such a short time.​

I keep reading them over and over again because I keep hoping that its not true. (Yes, I am a glutton for punishment) I really do hope that this isn't going to end this way. I really do hope that we get to see them working it out. They have fought way too hard for this relationship. They love each other, it is written all over their faces.

I want to see Calleigh affected by this. We all know that Eric wears his heart on his sleeve. It is obvious that Calleigh loves Eric, she wouldn't have allowed him into her place if she didn't. She trusts him but the trust has been strained, not broken.

They belong together...no one will love her as much as he does.

Spoiler: 803

As much as it pains me to read it and think about it...I know that it is necessary. I highly doubt they will get them back together by the end of this particular ep....but I think they wil resolve it quickly. Even many non E/C fans have said they can't see the writers dragging this type of drama out for very long. I very much agree with them.

IMO they dragged the "will they/won't they" crap out too long...got them together and then this....No, I think there is a chunk of info we are missing and this is their "test." You spend 2 years getting a couple together only to break them up after like 6 eps? No writer in their right mind does that. Even if they realized that getting the 2 of them was wrong...I don't think they would do a quick turn around like this even then. Because they didn't give them much of a chance to even grow...I think this situation will help them grow in some way. It will deepen the storyline and make it more meatier. Before it was what we had all been waiting for for years...now they have to actually build a story. We know they are meant for each other; I think the writers are going to give us a glimpse into why.

Wasabi Power made a good point in the spoiler thread saying that the ship could be used to give other characters good moments and even play into the rest of the show on a lighter level. Which I think is true. But in order for that to happen...we have to have the drama or test first so that E/C's story is told and then it can sit smoothly within show w/o being in the forefront.

It needs to be in forefront now so that it can get established....once it is established it can simply "be"

I really just hope they do it quickly b/c I do have to say that I agree with many people, in general, in their hopes that this isn't dragged out. There is no need to drag it out for more than like 5 or 6 eps. They obviously don't want to resolve it too quickly but at the same time they can't drag it out too long. In my mind, 5 or 6 eps seems like a good balance as a time frame to resolve this. If it is past that, then November sweeps is when it has to happen....even though the ship is popular with certain fans, you can't keep going around in circles forever.

There is drama and then there is overkill!!

Really? I didn't know the spoiler thread was now named Bash on Eric and Calliegh?

Spoiler: S8/E3

This is heartbreaking but I have faith they will pull through.

Therefore I will pop in to say this..

Honestly I believe that all the cast of characters deserve screen time and should definitely have story lines devoted to them, but please, it is not necessary to totally cancel out the E/C relationship off the show. This is new and really they haven't over killed the audience with every episode full of E/C moments. Of you look at the ratings, when E/C finally got together, the numbers skyrocketed! Its been a few scenes here and there, so the fact that a simple discussion has become a continuous display of negativity and disapproving comments is beyond me. Maybe a hate thread should be started to keep it rolling. Spoilers are spoilers and the entire show is not focused on this relationship alone, but on FORENSICS and CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION!

There are a whole 25 episodes this season, and I'm sure they will devote time and effort to make sure fair screen time is given.

I really am not bothered by anyone from that thread who comes to read this b/c let's be real. You don't like the ship, fine-your opinion, but the point of that thread is to discuss the episode in its entirety, not to bash ships.

Again, everyone deserves screen time, but to totally rid of a relationship ”just because you don't like it" is really a little too much to stomach. They can have their relationship, Nat and Ryan could hook up, hell Horatio can have Yelina as a main squeeze, but IMO, CSI Miami is so much bigger than just one relationship.

Said my peace and again my opinion

Spoiler: Well if

Well if we look at storylines from a writers point of view. If Emilly Procter gets pregant in real life, they will need a way out.
If she(Call) is heartbroken over Eric. She might start drinking and that could send character in rehab when actress needs to have maternity leave. If EP is pregant by season end. They could stop the drinking by a Horatiointervention.

But as we/you allready stated:
1. WAYYYY to much drama for this type of show imo.
2. To the writers: We have seen that before; be creative please:scream:
3. A short term characterchange(be that the lovestory or drikning) will have an effect the viewers opion of Calleighcharacter? Do you(writers) really want people to pity her? (NOOOOOOO:scream

The straight forward answer to former girlfriend.
Yes; she will be at his bedside, but he will realize that she didn´t trust him and he will let her go. -WE/I cann´t be together with someone who doesn´t trust me." Bla-bla -bla.

For me the question is:
Will the remaining feellings(him calling Nat) give sufficient validation for a reunion?


Let us speculate:

1. Ratings went skyehigh as you stated.
2. Characterdevelopment for both characters:

A Calleigh whom:
a. plays it tuff and heartless. I don´t feel a thing?????NOPE
b. is crying and wimping and need comforting all the time. I am so sorry I didn´t trust him.NOPE
c. a Calliegh who reacts as nothing has happened in the last couple of episodes?????(Hallo earth is calling the writers of CSI MIAMI.)


A Eric Delko who as far back as "All in" has had feelings for Calliegh:
1.reacts as nothing has happened in the last couple of episodes? See the above.
2. plays it tuff and heartless towards any character on the show. Does the fans of Delko really want that type of Delko? (Was´n´t the operation in his head:lol
3. A Delko who leaves town because there is nothing to keep him there except heartake?
