Alrighty, first off, I must admit to somethings. With regards to my
harsh critique of s5, I know , I was hard on them, and well, I
thought that it could've been better. A point that was proven well
tonight. I've gone through the entire day, wondering if I was just
hyping this show up to be more than it was, hoping that I wouldn't be
disappointed. ..and, I wasn't! The very first thing I see is Tripp,
wearing a uniform! Now, I've had all summer to speculate what the
hell that was about, and to tell you the truth, I thought he was
demoted. But, he has in fact, been promoted! Go figure, guess it pays
to know the upper echelon of the Miami Dade Police department. Gotta
love Frank though, when pressed about his new duds, he replies to
Berkeley in true Tripp fashion...sarcastic ally! Welcome back Frank
Tripp, you will be joined shortly by your commrades.
Now, another thing that I have to admit to is the graphics. I was
ridiculously obsessed with ridding the show of it- it really didn't
show any purpose other than to annoy the hell out of me. But in s6,
I've grown accustomed to it, even if it does give me a headache from
time to time. It's a season of growth, people!
Yet another truth that was staring me in the face ( and prepare to be
shocked)...Ryan is hot. Simple, balantly, hot. Now, there are varying
degrees of hotness, ranging from Eric wet suit hot, to Speed( just
plain hot) and Ryan falls in the middle there. I think it was the
almighty stubble that did me in, and the fact that he is still
suffering the consequences of his misdeeds in s5. There's just
something so satisfying when things can be kept in the realm of
reality. I can guarntee that if he was back in the lab , processing,
I would've probably hated his guts,...as I was oogling his hotness.
There, I've said it. Moving right along...
Nice to see that we all have a sense of style this season...well,
except for Mr. Delko. I think he has pulled the short straw, possibly
the same straw that Ryan pulled last year, for the sucky wardrobe.
Calleigh was fierce in a simple black outfit, Natalia...WHOA. ..she
rocked that blue shirt. Even Ryan was looking rather fab ( there I go
again). The entire wardrobe department mustve gotten the memo from
Sesame Street about biting their style. Glad to see that they worked
all that out.
The love triangle:
Simply put... wow. Eric clearly still has a hang up with the whole
Jake and Calleigh thing, and spared them no expense, mentioning their
vacation to Antigua at any given moment. Here's a little tid bit of
advice, Eric...MOVE ON. She's got her eyes on Mr. Berkeley. Enuf said
( I apologize to any hip huggers that I've offended). On the other
side of that coin, Jake and Calleigh look very relaxed and content
with each other....Must' ve been that Antigua sun...
Yelina Salas:
She's a beloved character, she's been through hell...But apparently,
the private eye business is very lucrative. Did you see the car she
was sportin? Lady's getting paid. It was cool that Horatio went to
her in regards to Kyle, but honestly, how awkward could that have
been to go to someone you had the hots for and ask them to look into
a possbility of parentage of another child?? And good lord, she was
a nosey someone: "Was it serious?" What do you think, Yelina?
Psha...you weren't the only love of his life...
Horatio as a Daddy:
We all knew this day was going to come. I mean , really, Horatio
exudes all that a parent should be and it would've been a shame to
let him continue on without introducing a child of his making. Good
call with the actor who played Kyle...Talk about uncanny, even the
boy stood like him and had that staring off into the distance thing
down pat. The only thing that was missing , was the SOJ's and a H3 (
come on, Son, do you think Daddy would've given you the keys to his
baby?)
But all that aside, I think it was done tastefully, and very well.
The look that Horatio gave Valera , Yelina, and even Eric was
classic. He was torn up inside , now knowing that he had a son, who
apparently couldn't keep himself out of trouble long enough to pose
(oh sorry, we are talking about Kyle here...). All in all, I'm glad
that they are going the route they are with the story line. Now, if
they can just keep it up!
My girl Nat: Can't shoot for sh*t. More time at the range is needed.
That's about it for that. She rocks though. Hard.
Alexx: Looking lovely, and again, sorely underused. I hope this
doesn't continue. She needs her time to shine.
Eric: Get him to the second ep already. He was rather ho hum tonight.
Valera: Nice to see her, but gosh...what' s up with the hair?
All in all , the ep was enjoyable, and well, we might be seeing a
return of some sorts to Miami of old, especially for Horatio. I can
see that this whole 'I have a son' thing is going to wear on him.
Good...finally something for David to do instead of posing.
