    Season 7 Spoiler Discussion - Welcome back to the Big Apple!

    I don't get how that works. An argument I've heard frequently here is that Lindsay being inserted into Danny's storylines (Ruben, wheelchair, etc) means they prop her up by keeping DL in the main mix, while keeping the storyline mainly for him. If they're going to do the same thing now with him...

    Season 7 Spoiler Discussion - Welcome back to the Big Apple!

    I personally think six years on the show despite several chances to release her from her contract says more about TPTB's opinion of either Anna's acting or Lindsay's appeal as a character, but that's neither here nor there :lol: The point is she's getting a storyline now, and so far all I've...

    Season 7 Spoiler Discussion - Welcome back to the Big Apple!

    I don't actually feel like Jo's completely orignal and fresh, just from the description. Yeah, depending on how it's done it could easily turn into a clone of Mac and Stella's occasional arguments. But see, butting heads with an equal/superior or playfully teasing the lab techs is something I...

    Season 7 Spoiler Discussion - Welcome back to the Big Apple!

    ^ Good thing it'll probably leave me having fun, then :lol: Doubly so if the story's well-written -- I think the combination of the two, might actually make up for what they did to her in "Vacation Getaway", for me. :lol: I meant it's weird how we keep seeing someone on the team get shot at...

    Season 7 Spoiler Discussion - Welcome back to the Big Apple!

    Starting to think we're never going to see the direct aftermath of a shooting here!   Okay, ROFL forever :lol::lol: Won't lie, I'm really happy about this -- a little paranoid, 'cause it totally feels like someone's been reading the Anna/Lindsay thread :shifty:, but I have been wanting to see...

    Melina Kanakaredes Leaves CSI: NY

    Yeah, I agree that with episodes like "The Formula" and "Unusual Suspects" and "RIP Marina Garito" and "Flag on the Play", the characters were more affected by cases than they've been in a while. The problem I had with it is -- and this is going to sound weird, so feel free to point out it...

    Melina Kanakaredes Leaves CSI: NY

    I'd choose Sara and Catherine's relationship because to me that's an actual development -- you can chart their relationship from beginning to now and see where things changed, and how they started to trust each other: first on the job because they had to, then off of it (a little), even though...

    Melina Kanakaredes Leaves CSI: NY

    See, this is where it's tricky for me. I agree that of all the CSIs, the one most likely to delve into personal material for its characters is NY, and I love that about it. I also love the main characters a lot, and that's why it's my favourite. But I don't think NY has the most developed...

    Melina Kanakaredes Leaves CSI: NY

    ^ Unless Stella dies or moves far away, I don't see why Mac wouldn't continue to behave normally, for the most part anyway. Not working with your best friend anymore might suck, but it's hardly the end of the world -- especially if she's his best friend, it stands to reason they'd remain close...

    It's Official! Sela Ward Joins CSI: NY!

    Only recognized her when someone mentioned "House" days ago, but have seen her in "The Guardian" and "The Day After Tomorrow", too. She was great in those, and while I didn't much like Stacy in House, she was definitely well-performed. ...I still don't know how she'll measure up as a...

    CSI: NY Season 7 Wishlist.

    The last thing Danny/Lindsay has done is "save" Lindsay. Especially after S6, it's a miracle she's still cool despite what that thing did to her character. For me, wish #5 remains exactly the same. Except a little stronger on the breakup part.

    Melina Kanakaredes Leaves CSI: NY

    Straying a bit OT again, but... What's happening on CM is, I agree, the thing that makes me most bitter by far. Leaving aside my personal attachment to both Emily and JJ, at least 70% of all their vics are already women, when they're not children (the dramatic exits of the characters mentioned...

    Melina Kanakaredes Leaves CSI: NY

    (I know I'm going slightly OT here, but I think it ties in) I agree that it's 2.5 Men's worth, rather than Charlie Sheen's himself that's getting him the salary; I saw the rumors that last spring was supposed to be the last of Two and a Half Men, so if they wanted to keep it so badly I can see...

    CSI:NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - This City Never Sleeps

    Agreed :lol: Part of me thinks the whole "empty-character-slot = more screentime" thing could be BS -- even if half the original cast was cleared out, if the writers and TPTB are still set on creating a one-man or one-theme show, there's not much that'll change in terms of screentime. I can...

    Melina Kanakaredes Leaves CSI: NY

    I love the show and wish it would keep succeeding, but I for one would not blame anyone who's leaving over this for a second. 1) if it were my favourite, I'd totally be doing the exact same thing. No one has to "get" that. The only thing to get is that people have favourites, and tend not to...

    CSI:NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - This City Never Sleeps

    With anyone gone, the ones left will necessarily get more airtime -- or at least, that's certainly been my understanding of things this past year. That's hardly the same as saying no one else got much screentime because of Stella, and if I implied that, I didn't mean to. It seems dumb to hope...

    CSI:NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - This City Never Sleeps

    ^200% agreed... Who suggested that? I don't think it's ever been Stella who's been eating up screentime for anyone else; imo, that has way more to do with TPTB's priorities than anything else. But it's been suggested tons of times before here that a shifting cast would clear up screentime for...

    CSI:NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - This City Never Sleeps

    OMFG. I guess it's good on some level that this isn't being dragged out, and I have nothing against Sela Ward (loved her characters in The Guardian and Day After Tomorrow; liked the one in House much less, but I could stand even her). But I definitely don't think "replacing" Stella, in terms of...

    Melina Kanakaredes Leaves CSI: NY

    I've aired my feelings on this elsewhere already, but this blows. There's not much else to say. Other than not getting why Melina (or any of the actors) would even be asked to take a pay-cut, with all the other "changes" they've made (a quarter of NY's cast not even appearing in some of the...

    Speculations for Unanswered Questions

    I agree, but I think part of the problem is that they've been sticking to single-case episodes for almost two seasons now, and all the CSIs are usually on one case. Which apparently means Flack's the only detective who needs to be on the case, too. (Even with Angell, I only remember about six...
