Re: Danny/Lindsay #9 - "Even Hammerback Knows"
YAY for slowing down the thread *pants uncontrollably*
In other news...
I still stand firm to not wanting them to wake up in bed together, but here's how I'm seeing the situation.
SITUATION 1: They're already dating
For the love of god please tell us EARLY in the season. (We're of course then going to go back and analyze every other episode in this new light, which I'm already doing... I'm working on pinning which exactly is the episode where that starts... of course all just speculation
)
SITUATION 2: They're just flirting and we're waiting for something to take shape
IF they're not already dating then I wouldn't be as opposed to putting off the getting-togetherness until a bit later in the season, as long as we have enough squee moments to get us that far.
The more I think about it, the more I'm realizing that it'd be harder to really make their relationship go canon right from the first stepping stones - in a procedural there just really isn't the time without it ending up as taking away from the show.
I know a bunch of people have already said this, but I'm going to echo it: We need to leave the relationship
in the background. (FYI: This is the practical CSI-side of me talking, not the completely neurotic shipper side). I actually wouldn't be opposed to them "testing the waters" with GSR and then developing D/L a bit later on after some audience/viewer feedback and whatnot. As much as I love D/L, I think it'd completely kill the show if their relationship was put front and center and then it started to become about that instead of about the cases. (yes yes yes NY is about "relationships", but it's STILL a procedural and not a serial/drama).
And I'm spent.
