Debate/Dislike a Ship Thread -- CSI:Miami

Re: The Great Ship Debate--CSI: Miami

CSI:Miami High.

I like it. It's so fitting.

It's sad that the Boa Vista/Eric/Ryan triangle was the only actual ship to be explored in the history of CSI:Miami. (Besides Horatio/Yelina/Stetler. But that one was handled tastefully)

I think it would have been extremely funny to have Calleigh/Eric/Speed but that's just me. Can you imagine that 'clear for landing line'? ...I probably would died laughing. Not to mention "I'm late" "For what?" Oh Eric. He's not the brightest crayon in the box when it comes to biology. :p

I think the only ship that could work out at the moment would be Eric/Calleigh. I'd go in depth with it, but it could take a while. (Since my Talleigh dreams have been crushed to pieces :()

And no, I didn't forget CaRWash. :lol: :p I just prefer E/C.
 
Re: The Great Ship Debate--CSI: Miami

I would have loved to see a Speed/Cal/Eric triangle. And now I'm sitting here imagining that in place of the E/N/R triangle. Calleigh so would've smacked either one of them in the head if they'd replied "for what?" to her "I'm late." :lol:

You know, generally, triangles and such annoy the heck out of me, but I think a S/C/E triangle would have been awesome. I think that one might have actually worked. I don't think it would come across as though they were really, seriously fighting for Calleigh's affections (like it seemed in the E/N/R thing), but given the dynamic the three of them always had, I think it would be more subtle, more bantery, wittier. I think what I'm trying to say is that it wouldn't be childish, but it'd be humorous in a smart kind of way, and that, I think, would make it a workable triangle.

Except...I wouldn't be able to choose who I wanted Calleigh to end up with. :lol:
 
Re: The Great Ship Debate--CSI: Miami

Oh I agree with you completely. :D

It would have been a much less childish triangle, and I think it would have really entertained the viewers. - If done tastefully. :p

All three of them just get along so well, and seeing Speed and Eric in a way fight over Calleigh would have been such a treat. The banter would probably have us on the floor laughing ourselves silly. :lol:

I can see it now.

Delko: Hey did you hear what Calleigh said to me?
Speed: What?
Delko: She said she liked my shirt.
Speed: I think she said she liked those 'kinds' of shirts. She didn't say she liked them on you.
Delko: This is a good shirt.
Speed: Sure it is.
Delko: *smirks* She didn't compliment you.
Speed: She doesn't have to. She already knows how hot I am.

:lol: If only huh?
 
Re: The Great Ship Debate--CSI: Miami

Hahaahhaah. Oh Geni how you crack me up.

But I do agree I think that the S/C/E triangle sounds a lot more believable then E/R/V does. The whole E/R/V thing was just to complicated and we didn't really know that much about Vista before all of a sudden she's dating Eric and then Ryan and and and then...who knows.

Speed: I think she said she liked those 'kinds' of shirts. She didn't say she liked them on you.

And I can really see Speed saying that.

And I don't think that there would be tension between E/S as there is/was with E/R. Atleast not to where they hate eachother and want to punch one in the face everytime they see eachother. So to sum all of my above rambling I just think that the S/C/E triangle works a lot better. So I agree.

And now I really, really wanna see that triangle!! *cries*

And too sudden, and utterly out of the blue, and just completely 'huh???' There was no steady build-up; nothing like that. I don't like Natalia and there's a very strong possibility that I never will; but that said, I could have possibly found this triangle a little more believable had they waited a season or two before going that route.

I'm by no means a Ryan/Calleigh fan, but even that pairing I could see before the whole Eric/Natalia/Ryan thing, simply because we know Calleigh, and we know Ryan. You can't just take a brand new character that we know nothing about and start throwing her in bed with all the guys. It's just not believable; at least, not to me.
 
Re: The Great Ship Debate--CSI: Miami

Happy Birthday Jessica237. :)

Very true, and I guess with any ship, it's a good idea to get to know all said characters before we see them hop in bed with each other. *sigh* I guess Natalia is one of those 'flavour of the month' type of girls, as bad as that sounds.

Anyway I stand by our idea to have the Calleigh/Speed/Delko triangle even if it's not exactly...Possible at the moment. :lol: :p

Hmm, just out of curiosity, can anyone see a Boa Vista/Horatio shippery?
 
Re: The Great Ship Debate--CSI: Miami

True because I don't know if the writers are forgetting about the chemistry from the characters but now it seems that anybody would sleep with anybody.

Thanks, speed_cochrane! :D

Then I guess we'll just have to wait til Speed comes back. Yep. That's right. ;)

You know, in the beginning of last season, I actually thought Horatio/Natalia was where they were going. There was all that talk about Horatio's 'new love interest' (before it was revealed to be Marisol), and then Natalia suddenly pops into the lab...I thought they could have easily gone that direction. But now, after Delko and Ryan? I'm not sure if the idea of H/N is just completely not believable...or if it's just too believable after the way she's been written. Although I'm not too sure if Horatio would start something like that anyway, so soon after Yelina and Marisol.

As much as I ship E/C and S/C, etc; if Horatio was actually to be with somebody within the lab, the one I'd find most believable would be Calleigh. But maybe that's just 'cause I want Calleigh to be with pretty much anybody. :lol:
 
Re: The Great Ship Debate--CSI: Miami

My favorite ship is CaRWash (really??? :lol:)

Although I didn't ship at all in Miami or any other CSI show until I started reading TalkCSI, I fell in love with this couple. Then I started reading the other ships like Eric/Calleigh and I thought they reminded me my mother and my father when they were younger.

Now I only ship CaRWash in Miami, although I'm starting to like Eric/Natalia, the way they look at each other is very sweet and hot :lol: but I think I'd only ship them 'cause I want Eric very far from Calleigh :lol: but well, thinking carefully I wouldn't mind if at the very end they were together and I can't deny they're (Eric and Cal) very hot together, I like their pics a lot.

The only couple I just can't imagine is Calleigh/Horatio. I mean I love them but I think H is like a father for Calleigh, not because of his age 'cause they could easily be a couple in real life, it's just that Horatio is for Yelina.

About Speed/Cal, I didn't like Speed a lot, so I don't think I'd have ship them. Although I've just found out that Speed's voice is very sexy, hot, hot, hot (I'd never heard him in english) ;). But I think they had a secret relationship we'll know later.
 
Re: The Great Ship Debate--CSI: Miami

the minute i saw this i knew Katie and Geni were going to be on here. lol.

i am ship Talleigh 100 percent. actually, i think i was the one who came up with the name didn't i? it was me or you Katie, lol. i remember that conversation in the thread.

Speed and Calleigh are just... geez, i dont know. i can't even describe them. even when they're only in a scene for a few seconds, i see this spark between them. *shrugs* but Blood Moon was a fantastic episode for them. really showed them together and they had all their little snippy comments towards each other like in Stalkerazzi and Invasion... i could go on and on.

I did try to get into Eric/Calleigh... i even wrote a fic about them... but then it went to Speed/Calleigh. lol. If i tried hard enough i could definitely see them together.

I won't even comment on Horatio/Calleigh cause that gives me the heebie-jeebies. as for Ryan/Calleigh... i dont like it not because of Ryan replacing Speed. i just cant see that chemistry.
 
Re: The Great Ship Debate--CSI: Miami

Man, you people and your complete dedication to one ship and one ship alone. I wish I could be like that, but no...I want Cal with everybody. :lol:

I used to be all about Horatio/Calleigh. They was actually my very first Miami pairing. The first episode I really watched was Lost Son, and when they hugged at the end, I was just all, "awww!" Under the Influence (I think) was another H/C moment that I really loved...at the very end, I just thought the scene they shared was really sweet. I think it was that scene that my brother walked in the room, stared at the screen, and asked, "what, are they in love or something?" :lol: And even though I've gone all E/C and S/C, I still love the little moments between Horatio and Calleigh (Kill Zone especially...that one gets me every time.).

as for Ryan/Calleigh... i dont like it not because of Ryan replacing Speed. i just cant see that chemistry.

To me it just seems that as the weeks go by, Ryan is more like a little brother to her than anything. I do have to say that Ryan and Calleigh have a great dynamic; they're amusing to watch (as long as it's not being shoved in my face for 57 minutes out of every hour ;) ) and occasionally they do have cute scenes, but I still don't think it's anything more than platonic. I'm not going to say I'll never see that chemistry...after all, that's what I used to say about Speed/Calleigh, and now that one just won't let go of me, lol.

Agreed. ;) As much as I like Horatio and Calleigh as characters, as a 'ship' it just doesn't work on so many levels for me. I also feel the fatherly or mentor/pupil vibe. Nothing has ever happened on the show to make me think otherwise. All their interactions can be put down to either:

1) Casual flirtation (early Season 1), which means little in my mind, although it's fun. Calleigh is naturally flirtatious. The banter is the kind you hear alot in real life and almost always has no deeper significance.

2) The fact that they are loyal, caring colleagues/friends. The hug in 'Lost Son' was a lovely moment, but that was a hug of support, not of romantic love. If you lose someone close and hug someone because you are sad, it doesn't mean you are in love with them. The scene in 'Under The Influence' is the same. They care alot about each other, no doubt about it, but again, not romantically. I actually really like their relationship as they can utterly depend on each other. They are always there for each other in this sense, but anything more would be completely out of character, unprofessional (H being Cal's superior - and we all know how utterly stoical H is!) and would go against everything the writers have been telling us for 4+ seasons.

The idea of this pairing in a fanfic/fantasy sense (fanon) is something quite different. My thoughts purely relate to what actually happens and has happened on the show. :)
 
Re: The Great Ship Debate--CSI: Miami

I agree with you 100% about the Calleigh/Horatio relationship, Lucy. That's also how I see CaRWash. I don't see anything romantic between them, even if they do infact have chemistry.

I personally don't have any qualms with CaRWash, but I don't ship it mainly because I can't see anything romantic happening unless the writers show us otherwise. ;)

Ah, you know us so well. ;) I can't say enough about Talleigh. *waves a Talleigh flag* Now I seem kind of like a hypocrite, because there was nothing romantic between Speed and Calleigh, except the episode 'Invasion' where Calleigh managed to get Speed to crack a smirk. :devil:

It does seem like they were nothing more than friends, but they were certainly more than teacher/pupil. They actually weren't like that at all. The two of them were more of equals, which differs so much between this ship and what I see in CaRWash.

Now where did that Talleigh thread go anyway? *goes hunting*
 
Re: The Great Ship Debate--CSI: Miami

.....Did someone mention Invasion and Blood moon? Teehee I just got done watching...ok just that one little part of Invasion and now I'm watching Blood Moon...

Seriously its like I post in there and then the tumble weeds start a floatin by! lol.

I will agree on the whole Horatio/Calleigh and Ryan/Calleigh thing. I mean I guess if I thought about it long and hard I could kinda see the whole H/C thing but when it all boils down its to father/daughter thing.

And with Ryan/Calleigh to me I feel like Calleigh feels the need to be nice to Ryan after Ryan helping her with her dad and all in Under the Influence.

At one time I did try and ship Calleigh/Eric but then I got to thinking well Eric's a playboy and Calleigh's more of a tough as nails dedicated to her job type girl and then I was like nope only Speed/Calleigh for me.

And then I watched a little episode called Complications and Eric just had to wait in the DNA lab for his results. I thought that there was a lot of sexual tension with Eric and Valera and I grew to love them to. I think that they have a lot in common I mean Eric likes clubs Valera like clubs. They both like porn..but of course they may be to alike to have anything there. But I just think that they would make a good couple.
 
Re: The Great Ship Debate--CSI: Miami

Okay, I've gotta stop being so lazy, it feels like decades since I've been in here too. I just wanted to say that my feelings on H/C are exactly like what Lucy said. Like someone else said, alot of it applies to R/C as well.

I haven't seen any of Season 5 so far, but maybe those who have could discuss which ship they think the show is leaning towards ;)...
