Third terrorist episode in a row? Oh please :rolleyes:

Even it's continued. Still. Pisses me off.

This ain't Twenty-Four :rolleyes:
 
Yeah I have to admit I am little tired of the whole terrorist plot idea myself. They need to get back to the old formula. So far, and the season is about half over now, this season hasn't really impressed me. :(

CSI Vegas got interesting with the miniature killer...they need something like that in Miami.

But at least we are getting consistancy!
 
Season 5 has been better than 4, so far, IMO. But if they keep going on this track... I have to say, I'm really not liking this whole terrorism thing. I mean, one ep, okay. I can deal with that. But this is getting rediculous. Do they not have non-terrorism related crimes in Miami anymore? What ever happened the guy that stabs his wife because she racked up the credit card bill or something stupid like that. Get real, Miami. [/rant] Sorry about that.
 
dont be sorry i think the same way you do! i love season 5 so far but i dont really like the whole anti-terorism thing. its so not that kind of tv show. There is so many kind of crime out there( wich kinda freaks me out!). just look at how many people have bought a panic room i'm sure its a number that keeps getting higher!

i'm wondering if someone is gonna be shot or stab in the back cause the title is backstabber!!!(maybe that Sonia chick is gonna die at the end of the episode) i know i should not take the title has anything else than a title but i'm just curious!
 
I'm not anti-american. I just don't think that regular CSI's would be dealing with these kinds of things. Isn't that left for the FBI, CIA, CTU, etc? I mean, yes, someone has to process the scenes, but, I think this is just too much.
 
:lol: I was just joking.

At this point I'm just wondering: what's so special about Miami that all the terrorists and gangs hang out there? Miami is hardly the nest of... well, anything, except maybe silicone breasts. Are the terrorists THAT threatened by silicone breasts?
 
Well yeah, silicone breasts and old people.

I'm tired of the terrorist storyline already. I'm all for continuity, but pick something less...Boring and overdone. :rolleyes:

As Ducky said, this isn't 24. If they start having a countdown clock after each return from commercial, I'll throw my TV out the window.

I got a good chuckle out of that. :lol: Don't get me wrong, I love Horatio in all his saintlyhood but...He has a team. I doubt it'll be him all alone trying to find her before she gets killed once and for all.

I do however like that they're delving into different storylines. I just don't like that it has to be THIS specific storyline. Ah well, I'll wait until I see the episode anyway because you never know. It might be good. :)

:lol: Sorry, couldn't help but laugh.

Umm, I'm starting to see this show rip off from other shows. Terrorist plots from '24.' The cellphone killing the guy from "High Octane" was also used in an episode of CSI: NY last season. It's starting to annoy me.

This episode doesn't sound to good aside from the terrorist plot either. :rolleyes:

Well, actually, as a Canadian, I think a little bit of anti-american is in my blood :p

I've been wondering that myself.

Miami is hardly the nest of... well, anything, except maybe silicone breasts. Are the terrorists THAT threatened by silicone breasts?
Click to expand...
Well, that would explain a few things...
 
There are a lot of things that happen on this show which makes me wonder why they are there. You'd think most criminals wouldn't go to Miami since everyone knows Horatio and that he'll catch you...in time.
 
ROFL about the silicone breasts!!!

I'm starting to wonder too, and I haven't even seen that much LOL. But I do so love the older seasons, 1,2,3...oh Speedy please come back! LOL.

You'd think the terrorists would hang out more in NY...unless maybe they want to mess with Mac Taylor even less than with Horatio LOL

I'll so make the ticking sound when watching this episode.

I can imagine H going to some fancy office and say "can we track 'em down with the satellite" :rolleyes:

Perhaps silicon breasts are weapon of massdesctruction.
Femmbots like in Austin Powers.

And as MacsGirlMel said, would think NY would get more terrorist storylines, but I assume it would be bit too sensitive thing to do.

Perhaps it doesn't annoy americans but I'm sure it will annoy the rest of the world, when they see the episodes. "World's most watched show" if the season 4 didnt' get rid of the viewers... I'm sure these terroriststorylines will do it.
 
I'm just bothered by this business of Horatio is "never wavering in his belief" about her innocence. Huh? He didn't seem particularly convinced of her innocence when he was sending her off in a squad car after listening to her Death to America rants...

There's a 1.5 minute clip on TV.com here...

The staring between him and Sonya is getting intensely creepy. *shudder* I have no idea what I'm supposed to be reading there. *light bulb* Other than, maybe, Burst into flames! BURST INTO FLAMES!

(bonus points for whoever recognizes the That 70's Show reference)

Wow, I'm in a much better mood now that I've got that quote in mind. :lol:
