Emily alert! She is making an appearance on Craig Ferguson on 3/24.
GREAT, I'll set my DVR.
Sweet! If you know how or can post it to youtube, that would be such a bonus for those of us that find it hard to keep awake through Csi: Miami on most nights. Let's face it: boring season. I'm hard pressed just because of the kids in my class to stay awake past 7 p.m. most nights. CSIM is on difficult to stay awake on Mondays at 9(no I don't have dvr capabilities, but I'm seriously rethinking this if CSIM continues to persist in it's idiocy).
This season has been a waste of my sleep time. Anything beyond this is an extremely forgettable season and is better that the hours of lost sleep I've racked up. Worst season ever. Emily was given NOTHING to use to work with; to play off of. She was given a one voice, one dimensional charater to play when she had already given full voice to a three dimensional, human character last season.
What a cop out on charactrization. Fan Fiction does more justice. There are much more talented and detail oreinted writers with a better sense of canon history as it is now and a better hand at storytelling skills. No body is paid, yet the paid goobers that are spewing out undigestible garbage are. Where's the sense in that?
FieldMouse, you're entirely right, but is there enough of a movement that we could set up a counter thread since this seems to upset a lot of us, myself included?
I mean, Emily is being viciously bashed over at the dislike thread and her supporters are being beaten down hard. Can we get a support thread besides this loveley and loving one?
We don't want to discuss the haters here, but we need to vent somewhere.
OOOps, ladyd10 edit the last sentence
I don't go to the 'why we dislike it' thread and if I go, I don't get upset because it's still the same people writing the same things. And recently there is quite interesting language conversation going on there. I learned few new English words
In the UK they are showing now episodes from early seasons. Emily looked much more cheerful back then - I mean she had different hairstyles, wearing different colours and her voice wasn't so dead serious like now. I think it's interesting how her character changed over the years - all these negative things in her life(Speed's death, shooting of Eric, failed relationships etc) took its toll. That's why I think she is a very good actress.
Yeah, Kala, don't go there. It isn't worth your attention or grief.
But can we open a discussion thread besides the Eric/ Calleigh one to help us vent without getting beaten up by the bullies that have taken hold of the dislike/hate threads? They now meld in my mind since the same posters are there.
I realise the whole telling us to stay away is a solid concept, but, lets face it, we're being bullied (bullying seminar at work this week awoke new awareness.) and the only way to stop it is to stand up to it. Can we please have a support thread besides this one which is positive and loving? They have two.
They bare both geared to outright hatred and loathing. It's not fair. You, as s a mod, I'm asking if it's fair to have another thread. They are spewing dislike and pure outright hatred. It really needs to be countered with the positive and good. Balance and all.
Totally outside this thread so that they can be discusses as this Eric and Calleigh dicussion is being trashed. I'm willing to open it.
Oookaay! Back to Emily.....
It has been said that a trademark of a good actor is when they use their eyes to emote their feelings-- and Emily does that remarkably well. I was watching old episodes yesterday and I really miss the cheerful Calleigh. I wish we could see more of that now since she has someone in her life to make her happy.
BTW, does anybody know how she learned to speak Spanish?

I don't think that lady10 is requesting a support thread ("counter-thread") for the purpose of discussing other threads or posters. I believe what she's requesting is an "E/C Romance ... Why we LIKE it" thread in the main "Crime Scene/CSI Miami" section of the forum. There, we would be discussing why we like the couple, not what other posters/threads/groups are or are not saying about the E/C romance.
Well, I know that it was mentioned in a very early interview that Emily had taken Spanish in school and spoke it fluently. It's a shame that we haven't seen Calleigh use her Spanish in so many seasons. It was a really cool aspect to her character. I believe that I read, a long ago interview with the directors/writers that Emily actually speaks fluent Spanish with a heavy Castillian accent. I can understand every word she's said and I am just learningh Castillian Spanish. To my Cubano/a friends, I have a thick, heavy Castillian accent, but they appreciate it because they can understand every wpord I say. I have been told that repeatedly. They also understand every word that Emily says in Spanish and declare that she speaks Spanish extremely well. That just meshes with what I have read. Good for her! I understand that David Caruso speaks fluenty Spanish, but hates his accent. Okay, gotta feel shy sometimes.
But this post is for Emily and yay Emily for mastering a foreign language! For our European members, this is a hard thing for us. We're, educationally, more geared to getting the non-english speaking, reading and writing population more into functioning position within the American English parameters. Doesn't always happen, but we try. In a nation as large as ours. certain allowances need to happen. Everyone needs to try in pone common language. Emily is trying in two. That's a huge thing in America. I'm trying to learn another language and it's hard.
So, to sum up this post: Hooray Emily! You rock!
