Episode 7x04 - 'Raging Cannibal' ***CONTAINS SPOILERS***

The only explanation I can think of for Ryan having the mirror is that with him being OCD, he's always prepared for everything. So, he's probably got anything he might need in ANY situation. That's the only explanation that makes any sense to me. :lol:

But, I cracked up at your comment about Julia. :guffaw:
 
The thing that really pissed me off was when Delko dusted that body for fingerprints....hoo boy....

Bodies can sometimes have prints on them for about an hour or so, but they're gone really quickly. Even using a fuming chamber wouldn't do the trick after that amount of time. Plus it's extremely rare to find a fingerprint on the body in the first place. But they even said that body was kinda old. (Not talking years old, like hours old...hours dead old....?).

I was just...mad when I saw that. They could have found some other bit of evidence to tie it to that barking Russian guy. UGH! I know some stuff they do is pretty fake, but that was pretty ridiculous.
 
So the episode was one of the worst episodes I've ever wathced *cough*welle the worst one*cough*
Probably that's because of Eric's shirt :guffaw:. Seriously what kind of man can ever wear such an ugly shirt w/ butterflies on it???:rolleyes:

Calleigh, she was there but nothing important, plus she looked like a vampire w/ her shirt (I didn't understand what she was wearing):lol:

Thank god we have Natalia in these moments, she's able to make you smile even in an episode like this.

Ryan, thank god he had more screentime than the usual.

Love the new trace guy:lol:. Our Arthur Conan Doyle is fantastic as his English accent.

Tara: the more I see her, the more I like her. This time she asked why Calleigh wasn't there & I liked it. I don't know if this means will have a storyline w/ Calleigh hating Tara and making every kind of effort in order to avoid her (Eric's justification was lame:lol:), but I like it even if I would have waited a while for it.
Maybe they're gonna try to bring back Alexx, at least for one episode.

The Cannibalism storyline didn't exist as I thought. Plus they guy whos spat out the piece of skin was way too cannibal:lol:

The russian mob storyline, I didn't follow it 'cause I was too distracted by the butterfly shirt.

What justification do you mean, Florry? I'm already forgetting what was said.

The one thing I'll never forget though is that damn butterfly shirt. I mean seriously, what were the wardrobe people thinking? First flowery shirts now butterflies. I have wonder what's next. I was joking in another thread that maybe they'll have him in rainbow patterns next or maybe teddy bears or kittens. But, you'd think they'd at least choose something a little less girly. Maybe Dinos or John Deer Tractors. :lol: I can sadly actually see that last one. haha. Spaceships? Rockets? Marvin the Martian? Taz? Anything but butterflies, yeesh! :lol:

The russian mob storyline, I didn't follow it 'cause I was too distracted by the butterfly shirt.

:guffaw:That shirt was pretty distracting. That's pretty much all I noticed in Eric's scenes. Except for his scenes with Ryan cause then I was distracted by Ryan (for very different reasons). :D Although Ryan's tie was a little distracting, but not nearly as bad as that butterfly shirt.

Well after they found the body in the dumpster Tara arrived and asked why Calleigh wasn't there. Eric answered she had to tell the news to the widow:lol:. To me it sounded more like "I'm sorry teacher, but I coudln't do my homeworks 'cause my puppy dog ate them":guffaw:. Plus Tara's facial expression said cleary "what a lame justification butterfly boy":p

Well I wasn't that able to watch the scene properly because of the butterfly shirt ant the tie combined w/ the shirt of Ryan.
Anyway I agree that was the only scene w/ Eric I was able to "watch", exactly for you reason :D

I didn't think the episode was horrible, but it certainly wasn't one of their best. I'm gonna blame my distance from the TV and slight colorblindness on not noticing the butterflies, just their sassy oh-so-manly pastel coloring. Does Delko really need to be in patterns? Can't the wardrobe peeps just get him a decent solid-colored button-down like a normal person would wear? Maybe the bullet frag in his brain is affecting his fashion sense?
 
I wish the wardrobe person would dress the cast normally, too. :p But, for whatever reason, I didn't even notice Eric's butterfly shirt. I just noticed that it was another one of those patterned shirts. I did notice Ryan's suit, though. And I have to admit that during the writer's strike, I was secretly hoping that the wardrobe person would get a job elsewhere, so there could be an end to the ridiculous clothing problem.

I thought Raging Cannibal was a stupid title, and I was resigned to the episode being stupid as well. But, I actually thought it was the best one so far. The dialogue was better. I liked when Horatio said, "to get technical." I liked the opening of the episode. It was suspenseful. I thought the guy and his girlfriend were going to be the murder victims and was glad when they weren't. I liked the scene with Eric and Ryan where Ryan was the one who knew how to get the footprints. :lol: I liked the scene at the end with Horatio and the Russian mob guy because H did one of those dangerous smiles, and did the "I'm gonna get you" dialogue that I love. I love sensitive, emotional H, but I love aggressive H too. I like it when he does both. Oh, and I also thought Horatio looked especially cool in his sunglasses in this episode.

The only things I can think of that I didn't like, besides the bad clothing choices, was when the one killer guy chewed the first victim's carotid artery. Yuck.

And I wish Rick Stetler could have been in the ep. *sigh*

Yeah I thought that to. I was kinda hoping that they would find a print on the body by way of some substance on the body that would hold a print--like say the guy had tree sap on him and the other guy's fingerprint was in that. More believable.
 
I thought Raging Cannibal was a stupid title.

I totally agree with you, if you ask me it had had nothing to do with cannibalism, i mean we saw what..one scene where that guy bit a chunk of out of the other guys neck and that was it, it had more to do with the russian mob than cannibals. To be honest i didnt notice the butterfly shirt on Delko i just noticed a really gross patern shirt like he always wears only this one was worse!! and i didnt really like what Calleigh was wearing in this one, her clothes are normaly nice. I quite liked what Ryan was wearing and Natalia looked good too and H of course with his one liner "to get technical" that was quite funny:lol: and loved it when he said "im gonna get you" i love seein his tough side. So the eppie was quite dissapointing i just hope the next ones better with better clothes aswell:lol:
 
Sounds like they probably had a more cannibalistic storyline at first, but the story went through changes and they ended up with that. Which is a shame, I miss the random story lines. And now H is up against a new mob guy/boss person. Ugh. I'm hoping later this season we'll have more random (and possibly middle class!) people doing the murders... Like in season 4 when Ryan got the nail in the eye...the woman that did it was totally random! She wasn't Horatio's long lost daughter or something! Why can't we just have that originality back?

Oh, that's right. I forgot all about that. :lol: Yeah, why couldn't they have sent someone else to tell the wife. Weirdness. :lol: at Butterfly boy. Hehe.
 
Oh, Miami, you suck, yet I can't stop watching. I suspect it's because you provide wonderful Tuesday post fodder, and because ranting about your endless shortcomings and insults to the intellect provides a relief and welcome distraction from the world beyond my pathetically limited sphere of influence.

Where, oh, where did Ryan Wolfe get his hands on a ten by twelve square of mirror glass? He was on a boat in the middle of a marsh. I'm fairly certain that huge chunks of mirror glass aren't standard issue with the Miami-Dade crime kit. They're too big for one thing, and for another, they'd shatter en route to crime scenes even if they were, what with the way the Hummers for Justice(not like that; but if it were like that, I would so totally name my Vegas hooker troupe Hummers for Justice and offer expert TLC to stressed-out cops) tear down miraculously uncrowded Miami freeways at the speed of Horatio's amazing balls pressing the accelerator.

It was on the boat, you say? Why? Who the hell putts around in his boat with huge slabs of unframed mirror glass lying around to focus the sunlight on his boating shorts and inadvertently set his ass on fire? Archimedes? Lame.

Who wants to bet that the Russian mob is the new big bad, and that by season's end, the Ruskies will have kidnapped the spawn of H for May sweeps? If they had any mercy, they'd weight the Seed of Chucky with an anchor and dump him into the Atlantic, along with dear old Mum, who looks like the Crypt Keeper in Versace.

I'd enjoy Miami a lot more if they'd dispense with the editing tricks. Watching TV is like watching someone else's life from behind a two-way mirror. You're supposed to believe that somewhere, this is really happening or has happened or will happen.

You can't do that when some jackass keeps toggling the Photoshop button and reminding you that it's all make-believe. In fact, it's rather annoying and frustrating, the modern equivalent of a drunken gaffer run onto the stage to whip out his hairy-nutted wang during a particularly delicate act of the Bolshoi ballet. Or in the case of Miami, during the final act of Oklahoma as staged by the Gomer Pyle Community College Players. It's intrusive, distracting, and makes me want to pee on my television like a distressed silver-backed gorilla warning off an enemy. The flow of a story, even the weak, tepid stories offered by this show, shouldn't be interrupted by a toggle-switch and mouse-click solo from the editors.

D

You don't know how much I laughed at that, La_Guera. Seriously. I didn't even think about the mirror until you pointed it out, and now I'm like "Well they... uh... no, that's 100% true". :lol:
I'm glad I could brighten your day.
 
All I can say is that there was alot of Ryan in there= great. Eric's shirt was 'pretty'=good. The rest of the episode=foolishness.

It made no sense, I wasn't at all interested, plus y mom and brother were talking throughout the whole damn thing, ugh!

I rate it 2 out of five.
 
I laughed when I realized there were butterflies on Eric's shirt. I didn't really take Eric for the butterfly kinda guy. Who knows, maybe Calleigh likes butterflies....anyway, I liked the episode, it kept me interested, but obviously not that interested because I pretty much forget what happened. I usually can't stand Ryan (I totally admit that it's bias. I miss my poor Speedle and Ryan replaced him. I can't help it.) But I actually kinda liked him in this episode, and I didn't notice the mirror thing either until it was pointed out. I guess that's the kind of thing they expect viewers to totally forget about, but our posters are pretty freaking awesome and we remember ALL. =p
