Re: Carmine Giovinazzo Discussion: The Non-Locker Room Threa
First of all...*clears throat*:
Happy birthday to boom, happy birthday to boom... 
Nadcus, every message board is different. We aren't whatever NCIS board you're talking about, and they aren't us. We don't expect them to follow our rules, so don't expect us to follow their rules.

well we will see, continue the bashing and see what happens
Please don't threaten us, as if we control the fate of the show. If you had been on TalkCSI for very long, you'd see that NY fans (or fans for any of the CSI shows, for that matter) have disliked, and sometimes bitched about, one thing or another ever since the show started--and here we are at the end of season 3. The 'rumors' about NY not getting picked up are just that--rumors. It didn't get started because there's a chance that it will happen, it got started because someone was afraid (or was hoping) that NY wouldn't stick around. That has nothing to do with whether the show does or doesn't get picked up. The
real reasons have already been stated.
and remember most people on other boards approve of d/l romance just go see on the ny csi board on cbs and see what people are saying, you would be surprised.
Um, no, I wouldn't be surprised. I'm a member of that board. What I see there is what I see here--some people like D/L and some people don't. Having five threads for Danny/Lindsay doesn't give them sooper-speshul powers, but that is a separate message board and I'll stop the discussion right there. As I stated before, they aren't TalkCSI and we aren't cbs.com. If all message boards were the same, there would be no point in having more than one.
You might also want to take note of the fact that there is a
Shipper Central forum on this message board, and that most of the pro-ship comments for
any pairing are going to be located there rather than in the show forum. Sure, it comes up in this forum from time to time, but mostly it stays in there.
So continue the bashing. Anyways this board is all about bashing.
We'll continue the
discussion. This thread is a "Discussion" thread. Therefore, we shall be discussing Carmine Giovinazzo as an actor and Danny Messer as a character, not continuing to defend our right not to like something. Yes, this thread has drifted toward the D/L relationship recently, but conversations shift about and it wasn't hurting anyone--it certainly wasn't hurting Anna Belknap, which is surely what you're implying. Anna Belknap is an actress, she isn't Lindsay Monroe the character, and she's on CSI:NY regardless of whether we think the character sucks eggs or not.
And this board isn't all about
bashing. We're all about everybody being able to talk about these shows that they like (to varying degrees depending on the fan)--the good, the bad, and the ugly, whichever tickles their goat. I don't appreciate being told what this board is 'all about' from someone who has made five posts including three telling us all about the bashing and the fans on
other boards, and even one that tells Aiden fans to "get over it" because she's dead and
you like Lindsay better. It goes both ways, my friend, it goes both ways.
Now (this is feeling slightly like deja-vu), let's get back to the discussion of Carmine and/or Danny.
Getting away from Danny for a bit, since we seem to be very touchy about his characterization lately, what about other roles that you would like to see Carmine doing, to showcase the skills that we already know about, or to test and see if he can pull off something totally different?
I quoted 'terminated' because when I saw it my immediate thought was of the "Terminator" movies--which I adore. Could you ever see Carmine in a role like that, either as a 'terminator' or as one of the people working against the machines?
Personally, I'm not sure he could do the more emotionless role of a terminator, but I'd love to see him kick ass in a John Connor-type of role.
