Re: CSI: NY Season 5 Spoiler Dicussion - Back in the Big Apple
Interesting. It's pretty obvious it's all revisionist planning due to Anna's pregnancy. The answer about how often Rikki would come back shows that this plan had nothing to do with what the writers wanted and everything to do with the fact that Anna got pregnant. From a simplicity standpoint, it makes sense for them to go full steam ahead with the DL relationship.
A lot of that honestly has to do with the hoopla over at TV Guide and other gossip sites IMO. For better or worse, Danny and Lindsay do get talked about a lot.
It's CBS--they're probably going to get married. :lol:
And the only reason it was taken to this place is because Anna is pregnant--which doesn't mean it was the best choice for the show or the characters. Nevertheless, it's full steam ahead it seems.
She's never been a strong female character, though. To be fair, Danny wasn't strong either--she treats him badly and he comes back with his tail between his legs.
It is amusing that Lindsay turned up probably minutes after Rikki left. I wonder if Danny's bed has a slot for quarters. :lol:
The getting hitched thing does reek of bowing to convention. I don't think it destroys him to be yoked with her, but it definitely limits his storylines being independent from her.
I doubt Jacqueline would turn down work, but it is a shame that her storyline is being adversely affected by this.

From Ausiello:
Question: Thank you for the news about Danny and Lindsay having a baby on CSI: NY! How will all this impact Rikki's (Jacqueline Pinol) return? -- Lisa
Ausiello: Per executive producer Pam Veasey, "It will impact how frequently we will see her. We're constantly talking about when the right moment is for her to come back and be happy for [Danny]. Yes, we're planning on her returning, but I would say the change is that it wouldn't be as often. I think at this point the audience is interested in the [Danny-Lindsay] relationship. We did the bumps already, so let's see what this new [baby] bump means for Danny."

Question: Are Danny and Lindsay going to make it official now that a baby is on the way? -- Nicole
Ausiello: If they do, it'll probably consist of a quick trip to City Hall. "We wouldn't do it big," Veasey says. "You have to think of Danny. He's a little unconventional. We want to do things that are unexpected but that really tell you a lot about his character."
It's CBS--they're probably going to get married. :lol:
Question: When exactly did Danny and Lindsay make their baby on CSI: NY? Looking at the timeline, I'm having trouble pinpointing the moment of conception. -- Tracy
Ausiello: It happened shortly after Lindsay hung up on Danny in this scene from last May. "That's the night they conceived this child," Veasey confirms. "We believe she turned around and went back. [When we shot the scene] we had no idea Anna was pregnant, but we did leave ourselves options to take this relationship in a lot of different places."
And the only reason it was taken to this place is because Anna is pregnant--which doesn't mean it was the best choice for the show or the characters. Nevertheless, it's full steam ahead it seems.
It looks like Lindsay is one of the most pathetic women on the planet. She states she has to get over Danny and that ever getting involved with him and the second he calls and bows down to her wishes she runs over and sleeps with him and ends up pregnant. Wow. What a strong female character.
She's never been a strong female character, though. To be fair, Danny wasn't strong either--she treats him badly and he comes back with his tail between his legs.

You think the audience is interested in DL? Yeah, if you only want to cater to a select group of your audience. Way to let other portions of the fandom know they don't matter. And if they get hitched it will say volumes about Danny's character. It will say you've given up on it and prefer destroying what used to be one of the best written characters and best actors on network TV to accomodate one of the worst characters and actresses on network TV.
The getting hitched thing does reek of bowing to convention. I don't think it destroys him to be yoked with her, but it definitely limits his storylines being independent from her.
If they're only bringing Rikki back to give her blessing to DL and their "love child" they shouldn't bother. Rikki and Jacqueline Pinol are above being used in such an utterly ridiculous way. I hope Jacqueline tells them to get bent now.
I doubt Jacqueline would turn down work, but it is a shame that her storyline is being adversely affected by this.
