Ahh, I feel so much better :lol:
Honestly, it's just because there's so much to write about this character -- TPTB leave so much unsaid.
Hey, who knows, maybe one day we'll get to hear about that. I mean, they seem to like to drop information about her here and there. I agree that I wish we got to see how the murder of her close friends affects her relationships with others. They have to have been really close, because in her trial she said that they were sad because they would have to spend the holidays apart and that they have never done that before. That would really explain why she is hesitant towards Stella. And combined with that she has three brothers and is used to being around men, it would explain why Lindsay has it easier with them, especially with Danny and Hawkes.
And Adam! That's something else that I was thinking about -- because I find it so interesting that she and Adam seem like genuinely close friends a lot of the time, even though the way she treats him can be a little on the impatient/mean side sometimes. You'd think with any other two people, a dynamic like this would indicate that they don't like each other, or that they're uncomfortable around each other at the very least. But Adam's always searching Lindsay out to tell her the latest thing he's found out about a case (or just to tell her what's wrong with his ipod :lol
, and it's like he's always trying to make her laugh -- and usually she does (other than Danny, and possibly Stella, I can't think of any other character she's so often amused with, or by
). Just watching any of their scenes shows how fond they are of each other. And she knows his home phone number!! Seriously, I think she has to at least have a younger brother, if not one that's a lot like Adam. They play off of each other so well. TPTB
have to give us more of that. My dream Adam/Lindsay scene would be us finding out she spent the day (or the weekend!) playing Guitar Hero over at his place
Yeah, I know with Lucy it's probably unlikely she can take a day off for herself like that, but I'm still hoping. And honestly, next to Adam she is
so the character who's most likely to be into video games.
And I think TPTB
may finally be getting the idea that we want to know about Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay; not just about what she's doing with Danny. They have a long way to go, but they've been dropping some good stuff these past few years, and I'm hoping they'll come back to her backstory and maybe show us how she's grown from it. Fix the mess they made in S3! (I was actually loving Lindsay's storyline in late S2/early S3, up until it seemed to revert to another plot device to keep DL apart.) I also remember that line from the trial, about her friends being sad about spending the summer apart. You know what that reminded me of
so much? The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. And I get the strong feeling that Lindsay had exactly that kind of relationship with her friends.
:guffaw: *cries as well* Seriously! I wanted to see that as well. Like a little flashback. Obviously Danny and Lindsay called each other or text messaged a lot, so it would have been nice if we got to see a scene in which he asked her how her family reacted and where she told him they freaked out/were happy/want to see him whatever.
Lol...I think I'd have liked to see a scene where one of her family maybe snatched the phone from her when she was on the line with him -- so they could finally "meet" this guy, or at least hear what he sounded like :guffaw:Would've been funny
and had potential for character development, it could've been so easy to do! :shifty:
Absolutely! I think I missed that scene (gah, need to rewatch them again), but that is just too cute. I really loved this conversation between them again- it's always adorable to see Stella and Lindsay chatting, and those information were cute. I agree, I love it as well.
I love, love, love Stella/Lindsay scenes like nothing else -- I really think that there's no one Lindsay so badly wants to befriend more than Stella; and it's so refreshing because it seems to be something she wants just all on her own, just for herself (I mean, I think Lindsay tried hard to form a dynamic with Flack too, but on some level I think that might've been because he's Danny's best friend). I can't help rooting hard for that. They've come such a long way since they first met, in some ways, but in others they're just not quite there yet -- and I think they'd get there, if TPTB would just
show them in more scenes together! I love how Stella's always so amused by Lindsay -- she's always kind of looking at her with this "who
is this girl, and what's with her?" face:guffaw:I think when they get there, they'll have this amazing, big-sister/little-sister friendship. It's absolutely hilarious. And yeah, the pen-pal scene was awesome (because Stella was making the exact same face, especially when she finally asked
why Lindsay wanted to know about her pen-pal).
Honestly, I think she is this kind of a woman. I don't know, you ever got to see our 'Weapons Lindsay is good with' list? :lol: She can use the knife, and I bet she has more than one (especially because this one was a really big one she used in Zoo York). What exactly did Danny say in that scene again? That she got her first pocket knife, or just that Lindsay got a pocket knife from her Dad? Ah, whatever, she can use knives and slingshots. Oh! Another information! Lindsay shot boys with her slingshot! Possibly even her brothers? :lol: Also I think she said 'we were used to shoot boys'? (I really need to check all those scenes). Maybe another thing she did together with her friends.
*squeals* I'm hunting down that list just as soon as I finish this post! There's the knife, the slingshot, guns (although with the diner shooting as a teen, I wonder about this)...what else? I remember Danny saying her "dad got her a fly fishing rod for her eight birthday, and a buck knife for her ninth"...but he never specified whether it was her first
So maybe it wasn't -- yeah, I really
could see her with this awesome collection of weapons just hiding in her closet, waiting for some perp to break in :lol:
And you know she and her friends totally used to watch "Dennis the Menace" reruns, and then whip out their slingshots and hunt all the guys in school to practice
:lol: I really think she was a cartoon junkie back then (still is, most likely).
:lol: So is mine! I better copy my post or it'll disappear again when I try to post it.
But hey, it's a fantastic discussion we have going here! I love it.
Exactly! (And my post is so going to go long again...) But there's just so much to talk about with Lindsay! And yeah, I'm really loving the discussion too

Absolutely! That would be such an awesome scene. *crosses fingers*
Hey, you think if we say it enough times and chant a little, they'll finally listen to us and do a scene like this?:lol: Or even just a quick scene with her and her mom/dad/uncle?
