Re: CSI: NY Season 5 Spoiler Dicussion - Back in the Big Apple
I'm sorry but she is pathetic. I always saw her as a strong woman but after seeing how she dealt with this Danny fiasco, she's not. She broke it off with him because his head wasn't in the relationship. Good for her. Then she goes running back to his bed the second he calls her...really? That's pathetic.
I think for me the biggest problems are that a) we still don't know if Lindsay knows about Danny sleeping with Rikki (I would presume not, since it's never come up) and b) if Danny and Lindsay were actually in a committed relationship. If the answer to a) is she doesn't, then I don't think it was pathetic of her to go back to Danny--I think she was kind of a bitch for chewing him out for not turning to her when he was grieving. She overreacted if she doesn't know about Rikki, and underreacted if she does. If she knows about Rikki and that phone call got her to come back, then, yeah, bad move, Lindsay.
As for b), the answer to that makes more of a difference for Danny. If he cheated on her, that does make him kind of a louse.
Regardless of how it works out for the characters, as an audience, we really should know the answers to a) and b). The latter we should have known long ago. I realize the ambiguity allowed TPTB to play around with the characters a bit, but realistically, to be invested in the story, we need to know the basics.
I don't care if she is in love with him or not, the important point is that he isn't in love with her. When they were on the phone, Danny said every sweet thing in the book that WASN'T "I love you"...that's a sign. Instead of recognising that, Lindsay ignores it or hears what she wants to hear and rushes over to have sex with him. What a strong woman. As soon as the chance for wang presents itself, principles are thrown out the window. Awesome.
I think it's obvious that Danny is not in love with Lindsay, or at least wasn't at that point in 419. He had an opportunity to say it and didn't. So what I suspect is that the baby will get him to that point--or at least be enough for him to think he'd better get there. Danny really does let circumstance determine a lot of his life--he's very passive in a lot of ways. I suspect the fact that he didn't say "I love you" back to her in 419 will either be smoothed over or dealt with after the revelation of the pregnancy.
Personally, I find it hard to get worked up one way or another over this storyline. I don't think it's where the characters were going organically. It's being dictated entirely by the fact that Anna is pregnant. It will obviously affect the show in a major way, so hopefully the writers will put serious thought into developing it...much more than just saying, "Look! We left the ending of 419 open-ended! So...uh, yeah, Lindsay went over and banged Danny and boom! got pregnant." I hope they can do a better job than that with the actual story.
I agree that there seems to be kind of an overkill with DL-information and we don't seem to get any stuff about the others. But as you can see those DL-spoilers are VERY much discussed, which is clearly wanted by the makers of CSINY, that people talk about the show.
