Re: Episode #607 'Chain Reaction' ***CONTAINS SPOILERS***

I thougth there was way too much going on in this epi...too many extra characters. All the prison stuff was a little boring for me, I was yawning. Horatio & his family members in danger is just getting really old, they need something new for him. Oh I know, he could possibly throw on a lab coat & actually work!!

Miami & all the beautiful people, my god, where do I start? I don't venture into fashion shows much but since when do the models slap handcuffs around a freakin' stripper pole as part of their show??? That was so stupid! Isn't it just walk, walk, flip your hair, give a look, & walk back!

Except for Calleigh's merry christmas :lol: and some other little moments of the old lab (I mean where everyone is friend ) I found this episode quite boring
And as everyone said I'm just tire of this H's stuff.
And how could he threatend the prisoner just to avoid other years in jail for his son???...and then he was standing at the courthouse room just to be sure that the prisoner obeyed to him.
I didn't like it ...the same with the model.
I want middle class families involved.

When was the last time we actually saw Horatio doing anything remotely related to science? :lol:

And I remember reading somewhere *Some english mag called Radio Time or something. Lucy will know - oh fountain of all knowledge * about how Miami is all about the beautiful people and not about the real people. How noone seems to care what you're like; as long as you look good, you can get anthing.

With all the modeling, this episode proved it.

Personally, I like the Kyle storyline very much and don't understand all the gripes.

We scream for more humanity from Horatio; then complain when we get it. We scream for more realism, then complain about too much interrogation. That's what cops do.

"It is what it is, it ain't what it ain't, don't make it what it's not" as Frank says. It's a Miami drama. There's too much of the bikinis and the models, etc., but that's what some viewers expect. You sure won't see that in LV or NY. It's what sets Miami apart.

Horatio has more humanity than the past 2 years, Ryan's back in the lab, Calleigh's got some smart remarks (and less cleavage, thank God), and Natalia is learning to shoot (I'm staying away from her).

All in all, Season 6 is coming along nicely. Hope the strike doesn't stall it out.

I personally like this episode. I loved seeing Ryan interacting with the team again. I do like seeing Horatio more human.....but it just seems like there is too much of him everyweek. Everything with him is so over the top.
I do wish there were more real people and not models everyweek - but I do see your point.
I do think I am enjoying this season overall.

Re: Episode #607 'Chain Reaction' ***CONTAINS SPOILERS***

I had no problem with another Horatio eppy, since the last 2 or 3 have focused on the others, with H in the background more. Even though this eppy and a lot of what happens in Miami is pretty fake, i loved it. I never expect it to be realistic, since i see it as the 'pimped out' csi. Show real people in an American tv show?? But american producers think people won't watch unless there are beautiful people on screen.

The case was pretty good...i actually had a lot of trouble trying to predict the outcome. I didn't see the drug thing coming, that was pretty creative. I like Kyle, its like H has his own 'mini-me' :lol: I can't believe they would put a 16 year old in a prison like that. Wouldn't that just make them more likely to commit a crime in the future?

I liked the commercial for next weeks eppy

Lol, I'm not so sure about the knowledge part but this episode made me think of the Radio Times reviews too. For example:

Is there anyone in Miami who's ugly? Or even a teensy bit unattractive? If there is, Horatio Caine and his team never meet them, because this show is like an hour-long shampoo commercial.

For more of the same gems, here's the thread.

wow that clip last week of chain reaction was so miseading

Re: Episode #607 'Chain Reaction' ***CONTAINS SPOILERS***

Oh, don't get me wrong, Im loving Kyle & I like Horatio's interaction w/ him; I just wish they would go a different route w/ it. The prison thing itself just seems stupid & unrealistic. I will admit H is different around little Kyle, his emotions are showing & I really like that. They just need to put Kyle somewhere else & then play off the daddy/son deal. I'd rather see Kyle living w/ his mom & H visiting on weekends or something like that, ya know..real life stuff.

That's the one! Ta Luce! See, 'all knowledge....'

I love Kyle too. I hope we see more of him in later episodes.

Horatio asks Kyle if he's staying out of trouble and then tells him that things are about to get a bit more complicated. Horatio then tells his son to trust no-one and when Kyle asks about Oscar, Horatio tells him that Oscar has a problem.

Hope that helps

Thanks so much for the description. It did help =)

No.

^I second that

I love to see Horatio, he's my favorite character. Of course too much drama starts to bother a little, but for me this isn't too much yet. And when it involves father/son moments, I just love it, whe get to see a emotional and worried father.

I loved this episode. Kyle was trying to look brave at the beggining when he said 'I'm not your snitch!', but when he said he wanted to meet his mom, he had such a inocent look. I guess he's fragile even if he's in jail and needs Horatio.

In all honesty, I think Horatio's just painted himself another small target on his back for the benefit of someone else - chuckle.

Ha ha ha, you couldn't put it better. Your review was wonderful.

Golly "Thank you", RedHot, that's really nice of you to say so indeed.

...and inthewind I completely agree with everything you said in your post.

I watch 'CSI Miami' because it's flamboyant and the scenery (minds out of gutter please - chuckle) and colouring is beauitful to look at. What also holds my interest is that the characters are just as strong and vibrant as the setting and I have to say that I am thoroughly enjoying Season 6.

I admit that I was a bit concerned during Season 5 at times, but boy, they've certainly eased my concerns from the very beginning of this Season.

Horatio for me is the most interesting of all the characters so, I'm afraid, there's little chance of my ever being bored by what they have revealed about the character this season *prays it stays that way* - chuckle.

You're welcome. The Radio Times reviews are so typical of the British sense of humour. If things try too hard to impress, we're usually pretty unimpressed! :lol:

Where I have to sign ?!

Btw I think that Lucy have to update her 'Horatio's Tales Of Woe Angst List'.

It does make sense to reduce the 'H angst' to some degree. Let's examine the facts:

- His father killed his mother, H in turn killed his father.
- H leaves NY for Miami, due to some complications over his cop partner (I kind of switched off to this part of his story!)
- H's cop brother fakes his death and works undercover for 4 years, leaving H, his wife Yelina and son Ray Jnr believing he was dead.
- H's brother had an affair with fellow 'tweaker' Suzie and she had his child, which H had to keep a secret from Yelina to save her being hurt, thus jeopardizing a possible future with Yelina, who he has secretly loved for goodness knows how long.
- Said child Madison, then develops leukaemia and H is forced to reveal the truth to Yelina in order to find a bone marrow doner to save her life.
- Brother Ray then reappears, a confirmed dirty cop (who was forced 4 yrs ago to make a deal with the Feds or face prosecution - he chose the former), alive and well, and for the sake of his safety, H arranges for his 'family' to leave for Brazil. Once again, he loses the woman he loves and his family.
- H then experiences huge guilt pangs over killing his father. His confessional is interrupted by the Male Noche gang who for a reason unknown, want him dead.
- We discover that H's Father was abusive.
- He meets Eric's sister Marisol, who has cancer (even though at all times, she looked stunning!) and H decides to take care of her to the point of marriage.
- Marisol then gets killed by the Male Noche gang and H goes on a revenge spree to Rio. H's brother Ray dies (for real this time) in H's arms.
- The lab seems to be permanently under investigation.
- H discovers (out of the blue) that he has a 16 year old son, whom he didn't know existed, who was abandoned by his mother & is now a juvenile deliquent in jail.
