Ack! I leave for a couple hours and conversation's exploded! *cheers* Hang on, I'm gonna try catching up:

Lol... I so don't know about that :alienblush::lol: Just 'cause even in high school I hated creative writing (people were soooo critical
); I'm hoping maybe just discussing it/her enough times will get TPTB to show us what we want to see.
:lol: I bet that would be amazing! I also think that Adam and Lindsay would have loads of fun while Danny and Flack will want her to come back as quickly as possible to take care of Lucy again. :lol: But really, I like that idea a lot.
Hahaha, true, I have to admit while Danny seems very capable of taking care of Lucy (or he did in "Grounds for Deception", haven't really seen him with her since), dunno so much about Don. I'm not sure kids are his forte, and I can just picture him going nuts till Linds gets back :guffaw: I'd still pay to see it, though! While Adam and Lindsay rack up the scores at Guitar Hero (her with a Whitesnake song! I'm getting overexcited again).
Exactly. I think back then a couple of us imagined how it would be if Adam had to take her to the hospital or even deliver the baby. And I can't tell you how hyper I got when we actually got that scene!!! :lol: I really thought he was close to fainting. What I also loved btw, was the little smile she had before she followed him. That was just too cute.
So many things about that little scene were just perfect -- the look on his face when she told him she was in labour; the little smile, yeah, and the fact that it was
Adam to drive her (lol, that must've been the most hilarious drive to the hospital. Even Hawkes and Danny's drive to the hospital had me laughing; I wish I'd been a fly on the car windshield when Lindsay and Adam were on their way there). And I'm so glad that people here asked for it! Wow, that's amazing -- I wonder if they'd've otherwise gone the route of having Stella drive Lindsay to the hospital.
I really wonder how she reacted when she found out she was pregnant. I think she was kinda scared in regards to Danny, because of her 'I don't expect anything' (just a little note, I'm incredibly grateful they didn't make him freak out or anything but that he showed her support, and which leads me to wanting to see more screen- like how did they get to point they were at in The Triangle an episode later? Obviously they must have talked a lot, because she was much more comfortable around him then.). But I wonder how she reacted to the baby itself.
I wish they'd shown us more of Lindsay's own reaction to the baby -- I guess I understand that since it was already very obvious that she'd decided to keep it, Danny's reaction was probably the bigger question mark to answer; but it still would've been nice to see how Lindsay reached the decision to keep Lucy. Did she tell anyone else before she told Danny? Was there ever a moment when she wondered if she shouldn't keep Lucy? I wanna know! *cries again*
I'm loving this friendship/sister relationship so much! I really agree with you here. I hope there will be loads of more moments where they'll reach out for each other. And the scene before Lindsay headed to Montana and where she talked with Sid was simply amazing, same with the Montana crush. :guffaw:
I just watched "Page Turner" and "Green Piece" a few days ago, and I was struck by the Sid/Lindsay interaction in both -- the whole "Mile High" interaction made me laugh, and I think they're fond of each other too. It'd be so nice to get deeper insight on that relationship...there are times when he responds to Lindsay so much like a granddaughter, and others where it kind of seems like she's the one indulging him. They need to show us exactly what's going on there.
ETA: Whoops, sorry, "Mile-High" conversation was in "Turbulence", not in Page Turner. But Page Turner was still sweet in terms of Sid/Lindsay too -- the way she ran to the hospital "as soon as she'd heard" about Sid
And she was so concerned when she was looking in through the window at him! (Oh, and Mac's little pat on the back when she arrived was very cute too...you could see that he was glad she'd come.) She may not be tight with many of them, but she visibly cares about all her teammates.
:lol: I just wanted to say then she surely stabbs bugs as well, but I think she would rather eat than stab them. :guffaw: Which was another scene that I totally adore. She is one awesome country girl.
Ooh, the bugs, I almost forgot :lol: Yeah,
that was definitely out of the mainstream -- I love how matter of fact she was about just chowing down on those things. She had to have been that playground kid who ate bugs.
*squeals* That is too fantastic for words! But I agree. And who knows, possibly Lindsay was much happier about the comic Danny read than the baby. :guffaw:
I maintain that that was a huge reason she agreed to let him read over her stomach in that scene in the first place :lol: I mean, how hard would it have been to work and process evidence with him hovering like that? She had to have been enjoying the comic book herself.
:lol: Yes! *runs to make signs and t-shirts* If we made a list of what we want, it'd be really long. Did you manage to find the weapon list?
*prepares to form a picket line* I found the weapon list!! Dammit, I can't
believe I forgot about that bow-and-arrow thing she was using in "Stuck on Me" (anyone want to bet she ran out and bought one for herself that same day after work?
She was so excited about it).

I, too, really enjoy the Lindsay/Stella scenes. I find them fascinating to watch. Both characters are tentative and hesitant to let their guards down, i truly see genuine affection toward each other. Let's face it, they both have a lot of bagage to carry (lindsay's friends being killed, Stella's psycho lover, etc...). I think it's fun to watch them "dance" around each other, although it might not have been intentionnal from TPTB at the beginning, they're not exactly subtle sometimes.
Hey, it's definitely no problem! Welcome! Barge away! *hug* The thing about Stella and Lindsday is that I've never seen two people who seem to like each other that much, just...not quite be friends. They do both seem pretty tentative around each other -- Lindsay especially, though I think Stella has her own issues which prevents her letting in Lindsay (or many other people except Mac, really) completely. The dance
is fun to watch! It's always like "is this going to be what makes them friends? What are they going to find out about each other this time?" I think it really is a special storyline TPTB have undertaken (even if they didn't initially plan to when they wrote either Stella's or Lindsay's character), and that it's going to eventually be during one major crisis that they look at each other and realize they actually
have become friends without realizing it.
When you survive a traumatic event, you tend to shut down and turn inward and look at the world from a distance. To some extent both Stella and Lindsay did/do that. Stella has this whole big sister/loving and nurturing persona that she relies on to deal with others. Apart from Mac, is their anybody she can talk to, i mean really talk to. When you put yourself in that role, nobody sees your pain. For Lindsay, she still stuck, sometimes in that glass house watching the world go by. I think she and Danny are in a good place because of the baby, but that doesn't solve all her "problems"
That's very true -- Lindsay's reason for shutting down was very evident; and Stella in some ways did shut down after the Frankie thing (and since this shootout in 6.01, she seems to have blocked things/people out even more -- even Mac, somewhat). And while I think she is very close with Flack too, it more often than not seems like he's the one who would come to lean on her (um, if Flack ever leaned on anyone, that is :lol
rather than the reverse -- he did amazingly in "All Access", but it was ultimately still Mac that Stella turned to somewhat for personal comfort. And I think that's good that she has someone like Mac to talk to -- I mean, even if Stella and Lindsay became super-tight, I can't imagine Stella telling Lindsay some of the things she'd tell Mac, just because Stella views her very much as a little sister (and no matter how close you are to your little sister, there are just some things that you can't tell them).

What I love is what you mentioned- they know how it feels like to be in such a situation, and I think what Maya and I discussed earlier (that Lindsay could reach out to Flack because she knows the signs) also counts for Stella and Lindsay, which possibly was the reason why it was Stella who tried to make Lindsay open up in Silent Night. Because she knows what such a traumatic experience can do to you. And I really wonder if Lindsay went to Stella after All Access.

Of course, this is all speculation, but when you shut yourself out, even the simple act of showing that you care about somebody takes on "immense dimensions". Showing that you care makes you vulnerable.
Maybe Lindsay's reaction in All Access was the extent of her willingness to put herself out there at that moment. But it makes me smile, that Lindsay might have shown her support to Stella in a more profound way.
I think Lindsay is the one character that could reach Flack, anyway from what we've seen up to now. I know they have scenes together Dead reckoning, we can only hope.
I am keeping my fingers crossed like nuts for Flack/Lindsay interaction in "Dead Reckoning". But as for Stella and Lindsay in "All Access", I too doubt that Lindsay actually did go to Stella after work; I think she just let the worry eat her inside out, but didn't feel secure enough to go to Stella -- because she may not have known whether Stella (who she'd only known for months by that point) would even want her there. And that's the thing with Lindsay -- she did the same with Danny, imo, in Season 4 -- she always badly seems to want to reach out to people and support them when they're in trouble, but doesn't seem to think they'd want her to. And that creates the wall, because it makes people think she's emotionally unavailable, I think. We saw her break down that wall with Danny in "Epilogue" (even though for a second, it looked like she'd be unable to do it); so I'm hoping if Stella
does crack later in Season 6, Lindsay will likewise find the ability to be there for her this time. She always seems to do better the second time around! :lol: Which is something else that's very realistic about her -- ideally, people would learn before they make the mistake. But more often than not, people
have to make the mistake and suffer the consequences before they can learn from it.
Oh, and,

I think so too!
I don't think TPTB can be oblivious to how many people are looking forward to it, so I hope they don't disappoint.
