I was disappointed. I wish it had been H in that tux- Horatio would have fit in that crowd like a glove on a hand and worked things in his typical smooth operator style. IMHO, Jesse's getting too much 'front man' role playing and Horatio is getting pushed further and further into the background and I don't like it. However, the show is getting high ratings, so TPTB is going to play this up to the hilt. If the show is going to turn into the *Jesse* program, I may have to reconsider my Monday night TV schedule; the guy, who looks to me all the world like a *poor man's Errol Flynn* is getting on my last nerves...and I miss Stetler too! (when is HE going to show up?).
It is rather apparent they are setting up to reveal Jesse's big reason for coming back to Miami, so obviously they would have to start plotting in Jesse scenes to keep the viewers guessing what's going on. As for Horatio's reduced screentime, it's more because the writers are finally giving nearly all of the cast equal balance when it comes to screentime rather than previous seasons where it is just the Horatio Hour all the time. Personally I find that to be refreshing. I know Horatio is the lead, I just don't have to see him in every other scene and solving every other crime there is in his SuperH ways. With the writers now trying to balance out the screentimes more, it would obviously seem that Horatio is getting less and less considering he used to pretty much rule the whole show for an hour.
If anything, the more balance the better, this is an ensemble cast, not the Horatio Caine hour like they have over on the Vegas team....
And as for Jesse.....they've been doing well with his screentime so far in the earlier episodes as they are trying to balance him with others....but it is clear that with the increasing screentime in this episode they are getting ready to push his reasons for returning to Miami into the open.....
Tom is okay but he is trying to be acerbic like the ME in CSI NY, but the latter does it better- he needs to develop his own unique persona instead of imitating someone else's.
Tom and Sid are nothing alike....Sid is nowhere acerbic....Sid is gentle and kind, very amiable and easy-going with the team....Tom is darker and edgier with a really dry dark humor thing going on....
Tom is crazy and bizzare in his own way.....he's certainly not imitating Sid at all.....
Well I certainly wouldn't argue for a Rory Comeback!!! Speed is my favorite character, he's the reason I started watching Miami, and he's the reason I stopped watching for the past 5 years until Eddie/Jesse renewed my Miami love again.....
I'm hoping for a Speed/Jesse scene actually....considering they did mention that Jesse and Speed were friends.....and they could explain why Jesse wasn't at Speed's funeral...
*** I was thinking of that scene with that woman in the end. I could be wrong and if so, I regret my remark***
I wouldn't consider that stalking at all, even the end scene with the woman. It is very clear that Jesse has bad history with this Anna woman, so if he was following her, I'm sure there is a reason that will be explained. It's not like he was following her so he could attack her, something obviously happened between the two and I would reserve my judgement until I know what happened.
**** I am trying very hard to give Omar's character a fair go and I can see that in his own way he's quite intelligent, like Sheldon is on CSI NY, but the space he takes up or the way he's presented physically just draws my attention away from what he is doing****
Being a big guy is nothing wrong. I find him to be completely adorable like a big panda!!!!!
And I don't mean to sound rude, but judging a character/person based on their physique that they can't help is rather distasteful. His physical appearance hasn't effected his work or anything, so it shouldn't even be taken into account as to whether he is a good character or not. I personally find it to be kinda shallow to choose a character just by what their physique may be.
