hey guys!! i live. seriously
you can totally blame harry potter for my absence, haha.
i'm kinda hyper today. just to warn you.
so i'm AWOL for a while and everybody starts threatening to take my place, eh? awesome
i must be the only "queen" ever to be glad at the prospect of a coup
but anyway, i bring gifts!
i made a bunch of icons and two R/C graphics over the week, which you can feel free to take a look at (and snag) if you so desire
and now i shall desist from speaking like the queen of england. wheee...
oh, and
welcome to all the newbies!! i hope y'all have a great time here with us. come, grab a chair and make yourselves comfortable
*turns her rotating chair around a couple times*
all this came about because S3 is finally re-running here and i'm just sooo happy about that!
i got to watch "under the influence" about a week ago, and besides the obvious moment when they steal glances at each other at the end and flirt (*music of doom* the crush begins... *echo*), there are a couple other moments i love, like when he's processing duke's car and calleigh comes in and he tells her to put her hands in her pockets: her look of shock, and then when he explains you can see that she's really started to respect him as a colleague. and then there's right after he throws his sandwich to the gator and she starts freaking out: it's just so funny the way she starts going "ryan? what is it? what are you doing? what's going on?" i love it because she's all OMG and ryan is totally in control. how cute
and THEN two days later "legal" came about... and you know it is my absolute favorite episode EVER. i just love every second of it, they're such a great team, aren't they? even in their different approaches they complement each other (like the infrared blood spatter/transfer scene *points to sig*), and of course, they're just hilarious and completely attuned to each other when interrogating the suspects ("oh, you have an alibi. he has an alibi." "we love alibis." :lol
they're just fabulous like that
as of the moment we're up to "speed kills." you know something weird i realized a couple days ago? the first complete episode of CSIM i ever saw was "pro per." it's weird because my two fave characters are ryan and speed, and neither was in that episode. how strange is that? but anyway, back to topic, i wanted to ask everybody
what's your favorite ryan/calleigh-angled episode? not which scene, but which episode. like for example, mine is "legal" because they worked together so well through the whole episode, and because they had some nice scenes as well. what about you guys?
as for
london's question... *puts on thinking glasses* well, i haven't watched enough of vegas lately to say something about that, but for some reason i always felt that shipping in vegas was just not my thing. it felt so dark and dramatic much of the time, i didn't think it was conducive for characters to get together. they did start to get people together, though, and for some reason i still feel it's a bit... off. like it just doesn't belong in vegas. in new york, however, i think the couples are done wonderfully. mac & peyton are so sweet, and then there's little hints of mac/stella here and there, and of course danny/lindsay, which i adore, because we could see they've been flirting and beating around the bush from day one, and gosh, if they did it any longer it would've been too much.
miami's different, though, because the character dynamic changes so often. see, at the beginning we had these established character patterns of behavior. then speedle died, and it threw everything off. the whole dynamic changed. then we started getting new characters, and it was like starting from scratch again. i thought they were building up something with ryan and cal, and then they switched it on us, but as long as they don't become general hospital, it's still salvageable. i wouldn't want them to pair everyone up, but you know what? they might. it's the way things looked in season 4, at least to me. and it might work, who knows; like i said, miami's just
different. because H and yelina have their
thing since the beginning, and the way the other four have been skirting around each other, TPTB might just pair everyone up and make it work (and it will only work if it's R/C & E/N, of course
). i choose to give them the benefit of the doubt, but then again, i'm the bandwagon of optimism in person, so...
bottom line: calleigh needs to stop leading eric on ASAP. then things will get back to normal.
ooohhh i would LOVE to have one of those shirts! it would be awesome. i'd wear it all the time and have people asking what the hell "team CaRWash" means
then i could gush about these two in RL.
as for the thread titles... i like
need4speed's "far away" and "it's been a while" suggestions (staind much? yeah, i know the first one you got from nickelback, but there's a staind song with that name as well). it really needs to be something along those likes-- signaling hopefully a R/C comeback in season 6! though i also still really like "don't believe everything you hear." it may sound weird to add "-CaRWash" after it, like
nikki said, but what if it's something like
ryan/calleigh #7 - "don't believe everything you hear" - CaRWash lives! hmm? that might work.
anyway, *exhales* whoo, that was long. did i break my record? i'll be back to gush after "shootout" and "cop killer" air
