Re: Calleigh & Ryan #7: "You’re fantastic" - CaRWash
hey everybody! we've been a little quiet this week, haven't we? hmm, at least i haven't heard any groans about possible ryan/natalia yet-- as i half expected
i'm glad to see people aren't taking it that way.
but anyway, here i am, bringing in my usual weekly dose of optimism
i just saw "inside out" and i have to say, i liked it much better than "cyber-lebrity." i mean, the episode itself. granted, there were still some parts where the writing was a bit sloppy, counselor beeyotch came back, and it seems like the wardrobe people are setting eric to take the "fugliest shirt on earth" award from the guys of locomia, and they cut kyle's hair (*mourns the death of cute*), but overall i felt the story was more believable and the plot was handled more tightly. what can i say? i'm really starting to like this kyle subplot. it's bringing the old H back. and tripp/calleigh has cemented itself as my newest crack OTP
one good thing to come of this, i really think that whole ryan & natalia buzz that we were hearing by the end of last season is going nowhere. this episode was a blow to even their blossoming friendship. now, i take ryan's side in this case (which is strange for me, actually)-- nat jumped the gun. she jumped to conclusions, and shouldn't have doubted him like that. he was only making a living, it wasn't personal; AND, she DID make the mistake. now notice that this was MUCH different from his usual arguments with calleigh: in that case, calleigh usually has better expectations of him and feels disappointed that he wasn't a better CSI. she feels let down, that he didn't live up to her image of him. with natalia, it was all about betrayal. she was hurt by what she thought he did; she was actually thinking the worst of him, and it was personal. it wasn't about the job, it was about him as a person. of course, i'm sure she realized she was wrong and will apologize and everything will get better between them. still, by now he's felt betrayed by her, and she's felt betrayed by him, and all it tells me is that they don't really have as strong a friendship as i thought they did. and they have a LONG way to go towards a relationship. if that's what TPTB are intending to do, it'll come out feeling forced, no matter how good the writing is.
anyway, going into our bubbles before i'm kicked out of here for being off-topic, they were only together in about one scene, and they didn't interact much. ryan's subplot had more to do with natalia. however, from the one scene they shared, she said something that made my R/C radar jump-- that he had to oversee the process cal went through to match the gun to the projectile. you know what that means? off-camera ryan & cal alone in the ballistics range! i smell a missing scene there
they probably had a nice conversation. i'm sure calleigh could understand ryan's reasoning much better than any of the other cast members. fanfic, anyone?
oh, and the way they were dressed kinda matched-- and in highlighter colors, too! ryan was in pink, and calleigh was in bright yellow. VERY bright yellow. i actually did a double-take the first time she came on-screen
but they were both looking good, which i always like.
welcome, togo2hot!! grab a chair and get comfortable, we're a nice bunch
as for the jake/calleigh thing, well, at the moment it seems that they're together, but we all know it's only a matter of time before that ends and cal finally realizes who she's supposed to be with
that kiss did look forced, though. i remember thinking that when i first saw the episode...
catheline- you're welcome
cooki- yeah, the season's already started in the states, episode 4 is coming up this next monday. and heck yeah that scene was awesome!
we're all in agreement about that.
in a bit of a different note, i've been debating with myself for a while about the possibility of me making a website for our favorite couple. just something like a one-stop-shop for all our R/C needs, like for example i can link to this board from there, have a jukebox for the songs in the R/C music thread, a bit of an image gallery, maybe even some fanfic and video recommendations. so, i decided to give it a go, and i'm already working on a layout for the site and all, just something simple to get it started... however, i'm a bit stuck. i need a name for the site before i can move on. and i SUCK at naming things, so all the ideas i've had have been dreadful. so i thought i'd ask y'all, i'm sure you can help me with this, since you're all so creative and stuff
SO, how would YOU name a ryan/calleigh fansite? give me some ideas, please
i'll let you know how the website thing is going later on. i'll be back after the next episode, as always! hopefully we'll get some nice ryan/cal scenes... *fingers crossed*
