"Cold Blooded" Discussion - *SPOILERS*

While I'm looking forward to seeing Katee Sackhoff, as I think she's brilliant, I do agree with your reservations. They seem to have a specific reason for the character though, so that gives me hope that there's something to her unique from the other cops that they couldn't have provided with the characters they already had. As for romance... there's a reason I stopped watching Miami.

 

I'm thinking that Marg, Paul, Jorja, and Wallace will be in fewer episodes this season. They'll remain series-regulars, but take a route CSI: NY has been doing the past few seasons with Anna Belknap, AJ Buckley, and Robert Joy.

 

I'm wondering if the $ cutbacks are at play here. Maybe the actors are getting the same money per episode, but are in fewer episodes. It may be cheaper to bring in a guest star for an occasional episode, than it is to pay a regular.

 

I didn't mind her on BSG, and she's had a couple of enjoyable guest spots on Big Bang Theory (playing herself). I'm looking forward to a new female detective (in a recurring role, not taking over Brass's spot!) - I miss Sophia. It's nice to have females not only in the science roles, but also in the cop role (although lately the CSIs have been playing the cop role anyway ). I really hope she's not intended as a romantic interest though.

If it's an actor's choice to cut back on their time (like Marg, and Jorja I think), then that's fine. I really hope the regulars aren't being forced to cut back just to save money though.

 

If I remember correctly (and please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), Marg mentioned doing fewer episodes at the same rate, due to budgetary constraints, rather than taking a pay cut per episode. Thus it was 'taking a cut in pay' for the season, but not for the amount of time actually working. It could be (depending on individual contracts) that some of the others chose to go this route, while others wanted the screen time and are working at less per episode? I'm not sure just speculating here.

It could be why we are not seeing Brass every week. I just hope that George and Eric don't follow suit.

 

I am really excited for this episode because I have seen the Walking with Dinosaurs show. It was amazing!! Those dinos looked so real.

 

'An historic'? AN?! :brickwall: Sorry, but bad grammar really pi--es me off.

As for the episode...I've probably missed something, but didn't Hodges say he hated field work? Yet he's the lab tech who goes out most of the time I stopped being a fan of his a while ago, so the Hodges/Ray team-up is a real turn off for me.

I'm reserving judgement on the new detective until we actually see how she does, but right now I'm neither here nor there about her...

The only thing I'm probably looking forward to are the dinosaurs, Henry and Mitchell

 

:lol: No one from the PR department bothered to (re)check the promo before releasing it? :wtf:

I'm excited having a new female detective on the show. She has a strong presence and I think I'm gonna like her!

 

"An historic" is correct. Words beginning with h will take the "an" when the first syllable of the word is unstressed, because the h is nearly silent or as hard-core language people say, it is a voiceless glottal fricative.
For example, people don't say that "it's been a honor being here".
We can blame the French for this because most of the words where this happens came originally from French and their way of pronouncing often drops the h.
LaSquisita - still not over being an English major.

 

I'm really looking forward to this episode. I'm actually really interested about dinosaurs and wanted to see Walking with dinosaurs for some time now, so it's great to get to see glimpses of it during the episode.

I don't really know what I should think about Katee Sackhoff's character yet. I've seen her in BSG and she's a pretty good actor, so she could be a good addition to the cast. But if TPTB is just going to make her somebody's love interested, then I'm not that thrilled about it.
