Caution: **Spoiler Lab** Ahead - Season 7

[CoachMom]

Oh, Horatio would never die! I can foresee the very last episode of the series - the entire lab explodes & Horatio walks all slow-motion like out of the building, puts on his sunnies, hands on his hips, stares into the sky, & wala - there's the end of CSI:Miami. :rommie:

:guffaw:I can totally see that happening! Sad as it is, everyone would die except Horatio! And then David goes on to do another cop show and another different name. And there's hints that he's from Miami....and New York....and he's got....secrets....YYAAAOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!

That would be a funny ending. Hopefully though everyone else would survive.

As I stated before...I do believe that someone is messing with us with these titles but I guess time will tell. However if the Calleigh as a Lt., one is true I can see it for this reason. If Ron Saris comes back to do Julia harm and succedes.... H could take some time off to see to Kyle, make arrangements, bond, etc... Calleigh could be given temporary controll of the lab (like in Rio).
Just speculating here in case someone isn't messing with us.

It makes sense Horatio taking time off to spend time with Kyle if Ron kills Julia

I was thinking for season finale...What if Saris teams up with the Russians to take down Horatio (also Julia and Kyle) AND the team if Saris goes to jail in 7.24?? Now that would be would be interesting!!

 

[mjszud]

The only way I could see any of this is if H heads off to Russia or something, but for him to need a break & time to rest - no way - I couldn't ever see that man sit still for more than a minute, especially if someone kills Julia or harms the team. He'll end up off on a mission again.

What I'm curious about is this target stuff, & where it's going. There seems to be a lot to touch base on before the season ends. Will the mob stuff be wrapped up in Ryan's episode? I kinda feel like it won't be (Ivan isn't even appearing in it). I get the feeling that it will rear it's ugly head again in the season finale, or possibly at the ass end when the team thinks they're safe.
Having said that, this whole thing with H leaving & Calleigh becoming Lt. seems "off" from what we still have left to see wrapped up (if any or all even does)-
what about Eric's Dad/Russian Mob?
Calleigh's lungs?
E/C & the rule?
Ryan/Billy & Marc?
H/Julia/Kyle/Ron?
Tara/drugs?
Frank/Natalia pictures?

No offence to anyone, but I'd much rather see these things listed above have some depth put into them before watching Horatio take off & leave Calleigh as Lt.

 

[nwolfson22]

I couldn't see H going to Russia at all.
I could however see a three way shoot out between Ron, Julia, and H. Ron shooting Julia, H shooting Ron, Julia having to go to the hospital, and then being admitted to a ward to help with her mental illness and post traumatic stress from the shooting. H being granted full custody of Kyle and giving Julia visitation rights.

As for Tara I have a hard time believing that they are going to fire her after only one season, but from what I've read from other fans she isn't really well liked and I have to wonder how the chemistry is with her and the other actors on set. So its a possibility.

Well, I had this funny image of one of the members of the team being stuffed onto a plane boarding Russia & then we see that HoCaine pose at the end of the finale where he says some goofy one line about going to get them back :lol:

Yeah, ok, the fans don't really like her, but I don't think they're gonna fire her/Megalyn, just because the fans rather have Alexx back. I mean, not a lot of people liked Ryan because he was replacing Speed (some fans thought that), and he's still there. So I think that, if the chemistry between the cast is good, they're going to keep her. Personnally, I hope they do, because, even if she has yet to grow on me (or do I have to grow on her? I don't know.... ), I think her character has a lot of potential, and I just hope that Megalyn is gonna be with the guys for a few seasons.

If that happened, I would hope it'd be Nat or Frank cause those two need a storyline for crying out loud. :lol:

As for Tara, they almost have to fire her. She's stealing at work! When that happens, the person is usually fired. And it's not only that she's stealing, but she framed Julia for it and Julia is facing criminal charges for it. So, Tara could be charged with lying to the police (Horatio is a lieutenant after all) and making false claims and I believe that framing someone else is also a crime. I think what she's done is some kind of fraud. Doctors (probably even M.E.'s) have to take the hypocratic oath of "first do no harm". By stealing from her patients (even if they are already dead) and then placing the blame on a woman who is already mentally ill or psychologically ill (whatever category bi polar would fall under) is breaking that hypocratic oath. That storyline isn't there for nothing. It would be totally stupid and unrealistic not to fire her. I mean, Ryan got fired for gambling on the job and that to me a much lesser offense than what Tara has done. If she'd just taken the drugs and hadn't logged them and was only taking them to give them to poor people who couldn't afford medical coverage or whatever, that would be one thing and possibly she could come back from that. But, the fact that she put the blame on Julia and got Julia in trouble with the law, that's basically like wasting the law makers' time and the tax payer's money if there's a trial for a person the accuser knows is innocent of that particular offense.

 

[mjszud]

^^^^ maybe they can shove both of them onto the plane.
Frank would almost be too comical though *pictures it* :lol:
Still, I'd love to see a really emotional Frank. I love him comical too, but we don't see much compassion with him, so an event like that would maybe soften him a little. Would be nice to see.


As far as Tara goes, I really hate this story. Who knows what crazy crap they'll pull to get her out of it. Personally, I'd rather see her go - I haven't warmed up to her & this type of storyline doesn't make it any better.

Yeah, if they're not going to fire her, why do this kind of storyline this soon with her? Plus, that line in her first ep or so where Delko told her the ME's hadn't been staying around lately, she said "let's hope that ends with me". That seemed to me like foreshadowing that it wouldn't end with her.

 

[hahagirl]

Do you all really think they will get rid of her? Would the writers really do that? If so, I wouldn't mind seeing Alexx come back and for some reason I just haven't warmed up to the M.E. either. She doesn't bother me that much,though, since she isn't on screen that much. THANK GOODNESS! I just hope if someone else takes her place, we won't dislike them as much.

 

[Finch]

I'm a bit behind but...

So, it's entirely possible that they will make her Lt. so that they can split this team up & she can have her own team.

It's also entirely possible that she could head the Night Shift without being promoted to Lieutenant or any other officer's rank. Megan Donner, as far as I know, wasn't anything above a Detective and she headed the Day Shift before Horatio -- I think Horatio just happened to be a Lieutenant at the time of receiving his new job at the Crime Lab. (And same with CSI:NY -- Mac Taylor is just a Detective; albeit different show with different rules, I used it as an example because both shows have cops as CSIs)

As far as Tara goes, I really hate this story. Who knows what crazy crap they'll pull to get her out of it. Personally, I'd rather see her go - I haven't warmed up to her & this type of storyline doesn't make it any better.

I have to agree. We've had a whole season to get to know her and she only now gets a storyline and it's one that defames her character in the process? Unless they have a really good reason for going down the apparent 'druggie' route and the outcome isn't stereotypical (ie: My shoulder hurts, so what was the harm?/I'm a closet druggie, help!) then I can't see her continuing to be on the show.

When's the last time a Medical Examiner, Nurse/Doctor, medical person of any kind was caught with stolen medication and was able to return to work in the same establishment under the same position? Maybe it happens, I don't know but it just seems unlikely to me. (I don't remember if this ME/Nurse/Doctor thing was brought up before in this thread so pardon if I'm repeating things lol)

Do you all really think they will get rid of her? Would the writers really do that? If so, I wouldn't mind seeing Alexx come back

I'm not sure on the timeline here but have we heard if Tara comes back after being escorted out? If not, the storyline they might have for Alexx that they want to do at the beginning of next season (reference: E!Online spoiler) could be having Alexx fill in for a few weeks since I believe she said she was only working at the hospital part-time. Not sure if that's able to be done because of all the technicalities involved but it's an idea.

That's what I've been thinking lately, however, I doubt Alexx would actually come back to Miami full time and they (TPTB) would have to try and cast someone else to fill the ME spot. I wonder though when they cast for parts if they actually are able to have some of the main actors read with finalists to see how they play off each other and try and get an idea if there is any chemistry.

Maybe they should have rotating M.E.'s in the story lines next season to not only open up the possibility of Alexx being there more often, but to get the morgue some life and unexpectedness for the characters to bump into...I kind of liked seeing all the different M.E's and the reactions they each got from different people in the Miami crew. I really liked the ME who got gunned down in the street in Resurection.

I know it wont happen, but wouldnt it be really nice to see Kyle go to morgue school so that he could be the full time ME. Might give us some good father-son moments. I know he's only 17-18, but it might offer us a chance to see Kyle go away to school (off the show for a little bit), do his training, do his residency either in NY or Miami (per H & Alexx connections), and then have him come back and work side by side with everyone.

I personally really like the chemistry between D.C. & E.E.

Why the hell didn't I consider this possibility? :lol: I mean it's pretty obvious this plot is enterely possible without making Calleigh Lt.
IDK, maybe that's b/c I'v wanted her to become Lt during since s5 , though right now I just can't see her being promoted after all she's done in these last two years :shifty:

Trust me the shoulder justification would be lame, lame & lame.

IDK, quite frankly, I do love Tara's character b/c she's different from Alexx, not that I didn't love her.....well nobody can replace my Alexx .
Still I think it's too much to give her this kind of storyline. I am curious to see what's the reason for her to take those drugs, but I'm pretty sure I'll be disppointed by it whatever it is.

When's the last time a Medical Examiner, Nurse/Doctor, medical person of any kind was caught with stolen medication and was able to return to work in the same establishment under the same position?

I do think that she won't be fired b/c of it. Maybe she'll be suspended & so Alexx will be replacing her for a while, but I'm pretty sure they won't fire her. It would be pretty stupid, IMHO.

From that article, I think Alexx could be returning like she did in "Smoke gets in your CSIs" or even better just as a friend visiting the team.
I mean it's not necessary to bring someone to the hospital or to suspend Tara for a while to get Alexx back.
They said they have something in mind to bring back Alexx, a possible storyline for more than one episode, but it doesn't necessarily mean she'll come back as an MD or an M.E. She can always come back as a normal human being visiting & helping her friends more than once . At least, that's what I would like to see.

That is if Kandhi is available

With as often as the M.E. has scenes on Miami, and the fact that, as Emily indicated, Khandi's series on HBO films opposite the Miami schedule, why the heck can't Khandi do both?

They could always have her do the heavy lifting (any planned big storylines for Alexx) when she is completely done filming her HBO series for the season - which btw, are very short seasons.

Just wondering.

And for the record, I really don't mind Tara. I think she just needs a little more time. I'm not sure that we as fans ever give a new character enough time to find their place on the team before we make our judgments.

While we may speculate on what is behind the drugs found in her locker, we may want to withhold judgment until we find out what TPTB have planned as far as the reason behind it. Although it might be a horrible stretch, she may have them for a noble reason.

I remember on an episode of L&O CI, someone who worked in a medical facility stealing drugs from the dead to provide them to low income and elderly people who couldn't afford to pay for their prescription medication. He reasoned the deceased didn't need them any longer, the hospital/retirement home just throws them out, and poor people who were really ill could make use of them.

 

[mjszud]

Tara's storyline seems like something out of left field. There hasn't been any indication that she's shady, troubled, & least of all, addicted to pain medication. So, why on earth now, & completely out of nowhere?
It is possible she was only set for a one year contract so TPTB could see how she blends with the cast - maybe they didn't get the right feel for her character & this story is her exit out.
Now, I know someone is going to say but she's in the credits & in the opening so why would they do that. But, Vegas did the very same thing with Sophia, & our dear Miami did it with Yelina as well - so it's still entirely possible that she just isn't meshing the way they had expected. Who knows. I find it completly odd myself.

TPTB have this wierd thing about thier characters looking different (in appearance)- they have the redhead, the Latino, the blonde, the female Latino, the hot average Joe, & the "oldtimer" (sorry, Frank love). Tara looks more Latino (sometimes at first glance I think she's Natalia) than African American/Indian to me, so maybe it's too much. Anyone notice she hasn't had one single scene with Natalia?
I know it sounds stupid, but I remember that in 'triple threat' they gave the scenes to Natalia because they didn't want it to be all blondes during the scenes with the triplettes. No, it's not exactly a good reason to let a character go, but all the same if TPTB aren't getting the right vibe then it's possible they just want a different type of character for this part.
I personally don't think the Doogie Howser thing is working, but that's just me.
