The theory that Anna is having a difficult time playing Lindsay because she doesn't know Lindsay's history would be a valid argument....if not for the fact that Eddie Cahill, Robet Joy and Hill Harper manage great performances with just as little known about their background. I think it's a...

It's been mentioned before that Anna would probably do better in a comedy or something much lighter that doesn't call on her to be dramatic. I have no idea how light her character was on MI but I know she didn't do much for me when I watched the Handler. I'll agree the writing's been subpar, but...

Careful, you'll be giving the writers ideas. :lol: :lol: This is very sad and very true. Her interaction with Carmine...who might as well have the show named after him :lol: :lol:...is painful. It's sad when someone so lacking in talent can dim the talent of others. I've never been as fond of...

To be honest, I don't care if they don't replace her, so long as they get rid of her. I would love to see more of Hawkes and more of Hammerback, both are played by talented actors who deserve more time and larger roles rather than force us to suffer through more of Anna Belknap stomping around...

Don't get me started on the damn block party thing. The town I live in has a dance festival every year and they block off main street and everybody dances and has fun and we could probably give pointers on doing a block party right. Damn right we're not ignorant. Why some of us can spell whole...

Oh, no. Hell, no. We are not like her. We're not moronic enough not to wear gloves when we work with horses. When we tackle somebody, they stay down...and if it's a cowboy, it's 'cause he wants to be there. Bug eating's no big deal to us because anytime you cook outdoors you're going to get some...

You gotta hope that TPTB are listening when the same things are being said from such different directions. Boles mentioning that NY gets the tired leftovers was spot on. You get that feeling in the writing. I think they need fresh blood at the script table (hmm, wonder who I'd nominate for...

I'm gonna go with a big no on that one. There are so many ways they could bring in how country she is without the implication that just because she's a country girl she has no clue what real life is like. Ironically enough, one of her most 'country girl' moments was that hideous...I think JDonne...

Re: Sid Hammerback. Hammerback rocks. I really want them to add him to the main credits. I think he is a wonderful addition to the cast and actually makes the morgue fun in some odd way. Pino's good to, but I'd rather have Hammerback.

I think the idea of a country girl adapting to the Big City is great, I think they've executed it so poorly the need to scrap it or, better yet, get a better, more believable actress and actually do something with the idea. Completely agree with the patronizing thought...when was the last time...

Amen! Let the main character romance wither in some dark section never viewed by the eye of intelligent man (or woman). And I'll shout out a second AMEN! The 2nd story line became so sloppy it was painful to watch and the consistency of some of the characters can be likened to tapioca...

I don't see how any of us could actually hate Anna when none of us, Lindsay Lovers included, actually know her. They can love the 'ideal' of her all they want, but they don't know her any more than we do. I see my critics of her as basically performance evaluations and if she were in my pod, I'd...

If my mind powers work, he will be. :devil: You bring up an excellent point, however, about their backstory explaining more about them. Which in why we tend to fault the writers about half and half with Anna Belknap's acting in the Why Lindsay Must Go thread.

The only backstory we have on Stella is she was in the foster care system. Flack...might have issues with his father. Possibly comes from a long line of cops. Hawks....used to be a medical doctor. Mac....was in the marines, wife died in 9/11, from chicago Hammerback...likes to cook and tell...

I think expecting a backstory to clear up her emotional bouncing is unrealistic. Lindsay has as much or more backstory than most of the other characters on the show, barring Danny, and none of it has justified her reaction to certain situations. Also, a person can have all the reasons under the...

Interestingly enough, in the ep with the leeches (still irritated about them feeding on a dead body) I found Stella very patronizing toward Lindsay to the point I was almost sorry for Lindsay. I kept expecting Stella to pull out her crayons and begin to draw a picture for her about what was...

Brava, JDonne, brava! Eloquent and precise as always. :cool:

I really don't see Lindsay as being practically perfect. More of the opposite, really. Nor do I see her as impressive, strong, certainly not stoic, yes, very much emotional. I've yet to see her do anything that any of the others couldn't do. As far as strength goes...inconsistent signals at...

I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're saying, so I'm going to nod and smile encouragingly. ;) I've tried to think of one scene where Lindsay didn't come off in various degrees as annoying to me and I can't. I think I gave her a lot more leeway in Zoo York because she was new and I...

Geez, Top, leave something for the rest of us to ramble on about. :p ;) You pretty much covered it and were nicer than I was, I gave it a D+. Season 2 will not be taking up any space on my DVD shelves no matter what kind of extras they have on it. They need to get better writers...or writers...
