Well, I for one really liked the past season. But anticipation is always good. Some wishes, in no particular order...
1. a) Send Yelina back where she belongs. Get rid of Raymond, and bring Yelina back. Because I really, really liked her.
b) And maybe a little bit because I've gotten quite used to seeing this show end on the Soft String Music of Love and I refuse to give it up just because Marisol died!
2. Can Ryan stop going out with irritating women with whom he is obviously incompatible? Erika...Natalia...ugh.
3. Also, can he become "Ryan" instead of "Mr. Wolfe"?
!!!4. Please don't let Natalia become a CSI. Please don't let Natalia become a CSI. Please don't let Natalia become a CSI.
5. Actually, one thing I'm really looking forward to is revenge. Revenge is good. I'm curious as to exactly how far he'll go.
6. Much as I love Horatio, I think some of the other characters deserve to have personal storylines
7. I will now render that wish moot by admitting I can't wait to find out what the full extent of the NY story is.
8. Character moments. Lots of them. In the six years since I took on my first crime drama, the original CSI, and piled more on my plate each year, I've now seen several hundred crimes solved. My formerly insatiable appetite for them is beginning to wind down, and I watch the show for other reasons. See point #1.
9. Ooh, last one - we'll probably never see them again, but boy do I miss Suzie and Madison. Especially Madison.
Overall, I'm really looking forward to season the fifth. In fact, the only things that could really ruin the show for me - at least, that I can think of - are Natalia getting copious amounts of extra screentime or Horatio getting another love interest like Rebecca (ugh, every second of screentime with her was torture).
Curse you. Now I'm all antsy for September to get here. I'm actually wishing it was the end of summer. How sick is that?
