    You know, considering Eric and Ryan compromised evidence in a murder investigation, I can understand why Tara was so angry. That prank was a little...immature for men of their age and profession of you ask me. But maybe I'm being a little hard on them. :p This show desperately needed to stop taking themselves so seriously and finally we're seeing more relaxation? among everyone. But I'm not a huge fan of pranks to begin with, especially when someone's trying to do their job.

    I hope she gets them back real good though. :p

    First vid: Horatio's oneliner. :lol:

    Second vid: I'm actually surprised that Ryan was in on this considering the body rising in Curse Of The Coffin scared the pee out of him. :lol: But, it was nice to see him and Eric getting along so well. And that music in the flashback haha... I wouldn't be amused if I was Tara either. But, I wouldn't be able to stay mad at the boys, especially Ryan. Boys will be boys. Too funny. I think maybe they should have instead put one of those fake ice cubes with a bug in it inside her drink or something instead of something that tampers with evidence. Or they could have at least gotten another table and put the dummy on it instead of messing with the body. I wouldn't be surprised if Eric had to talk Ryan into it though. It does seem like Eric was the ringleader. :lol: so, that may be why she only gets back at him.

    ^^It was nice to see them getting along. And doing something silly....their faces were just too funny..

    It was pretty stupid to compromise the body though hahahaha...I would never dream of doing anything like that. It was still funny though. Only a few hours to go! *hope that doesn't count as an annoying countdown*

    Wow, who cares if it was a little immature, really. :rolleyes: We've been begging for some humour in Miami and we're finally getting it. Be happy!

    Anyways, I didn't even get to hear those since I'm in my living room, but just watching the second was funny. :lol: I'm glad Ryan and Eric are getting along tonight.

    Yeah, that grin on Ryan's face in that flashback scene was great. He was having such a good time. :lol: My first thought was that Tara was being too uptight, but then I do kind of see her point about the evidence. :lol:

    I can understand where Tara was coming from - it may have been a joke, but (a) she's brand-new to the team and (b) if any anomalies in her results come about because of the prank, she'll be the one taking the blame.

    That said, what's a team without hazing the new member? :lol: I don't think she'll stay mad once she reassures herself the body is fine, but I do see payback in Eric's future. Possibly Ryan's, too.

    It's nice to know that the boys have buried the hatchet, so to speak. We don't get to see them smile enough - let alone smile in conspiracy with each other.

    Now...I want to see how this matches up with the teaser copy of a prank in the lab causing a rift. Sometimes the copy is more ominous than the actual footage!

    I took a second look at the clip: she really freaked when the table started rising, didn't she? And that comment about Alex, reminding her that she's the new girl on the block, must have gone the wrong way after a fright like that: "I'm not Alex..."

    There's going to be payback, for sure. :)

    Ooh, I bet Ryan's happy he got to haze someone, probably still thinking back to that headless guy. xD It'd be cool if he mentioned that to Tara, if she even ends up talking to Ryan about it.

    This was a good episode, not as good as last week but still good. Eric and Ryan played a prank on Tara, she was pissed but after her conversation with Calleigh I understood why. It was nice seeing Eric and Ryan working together playing a prank.

    I liked the scene where Calleigh told Eric that Ryan apologized to Tara with flowers and that women like flowers. It was like she was giving him a hint as to what she liked

    I also liked the scene where Calleigh gathered evidence, one was edible underwears. The look on her face was priceless!!

    HAHA I like that phrase...smiling in conspiracy...

    Maybe Ryan and Eric can be friends. Well, that's stretching it, but hopefully we're taking a step in the right direction! *pictures awkward therapy session*

    I loved the prank. It made me laugh that both Eric & Ryan teamed up to play the prank.

    Calleigh giving hints, Delko paying close attention.

    The team interaction in this episode was great, it was nice to see Ryan and Eric working together without tension and the interaction that Calleigh had with Tara left a great taste in my mouth. :D Also, Horatio seems to still be taking the sidelines this season which is a great refresher.

    Although I'm kind of starting to question Tripp's role, he always seems to be like Horatio's personal escort or bodyguard instead of someone actively involved in the case. :/

    A great part about this episode -- for me anyway -- was that the killer wasn't so clear cut to me. I kept suspecting person after person and saying "well that was predictable" but then it kept changing. :lol:

    And this is sweeps, right? I half expected Miami to pull out all the stops for this episode and aside from Lucy Lawless it was pretty...normal? lol. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I'm leaning toward it being a good thing. It's nice to see that the case wasn't so grandiose and full of car bombs and gangs.

    Anyway, not a bad episode but not the best either.

    I love the scene where Calleigh is looking at the edible panites!! The look on her face was priceless!! And then when she quikcly put it back in the box when Eric walked in...:lol:

    The prank was funny but I kind of wish they left in the part where she pranks him back but I guess they ran over or didn't feel it would fit in. Typical, that Ryan would buy her flowers!

    Next week looks really good and totally different then what we are used to seeing. And I am excited to see Terri Polo.

    "This is Florida. People have guns." :lol: and they don't elsewhere?

    "There's not in Kansas anymore are they?" YEEEAAAHHHHH! :lol:

    :lol: Ryan's smile in that whole flashback scene was the cutest.

    I guess the prank backfired on Eric. :lol:

    "Call me anything you like."
    "How about killer?"
    "Okay, not anything." :guffaw:

    Calleigh: Let's say you're Christine.
    Valera: Selling myself for money? Thanks. :lol:

    Ryan's tie is pink and purple stripes. I like it oddly enough. And the pink shirt is back! :lol:

    Calleigh looked like she was trying not to laugh about the prank. :lol:

    So the vic was drugging and robbing women? Payback's a *itch. lol

    Wall of Shame. :lol:

    :lol: at Calleigh's expression upon seeing the edible undies. Sexyierge instead of consierge (can't spell it sorry lol).

    Calleigh was hinting to Eric that he should buy Tara flowers to apologize like Ryan did. :lol: Take that advice, Eric! You better apologize fast or she's gonna get'cha. :lol:

    The blodne did it? Didn't see that coming.

    What the heck is that song? Odd choice for Miami. Sounds like old style country or something.

    What did she apologize to Horatio?

    Wait... I thought Tara was supposed to bolt Eric's locker shut and ask him to get a drink with her? Why'd they leave out the locker bolting? That sounded hilarious! :sigh:

    Next week's preview: "The episode you can't miss." Uh-oh, if they're saying that then it's probably gonna be boring. :lol:

    I thought it was a good episode. I hate we didn't get to see Tara's revenge for the prank. Maybe another time... I love how Ryan sent flowers to say "sorry"; it's so typical. :rolleyes:

    Calleigh hinting about flowers and looking through the sex toys; Priceless! :p

    I'm not sure how I feel about Tara. I just wish that they could have given Khandi this much screen time. She might still be on the show. :(

    All in all a good week! ;)
