Perhaps in the first episode next season, the first thing we see will be Rick Stetler waking up with a big smile on his face, relishing the wonderful dream he just had about all the CSIs dropping dead in the lab. But then he'll frown because Horatio survived... :lol:
LOL! Poor Rick will probably be like "Come on Horatio! You can't even die in MY DREAM!?!?!?!??!!?!":shifty::guffaw:
I agree with both you and Theresa, slower. WAY too much Delko for my taste. When did he take over?
And he is the LAST law enforcement officer I would want responding if I called for help. I could die, as could everyone around me, while he's fawning over his sex partner and forgetting about the multitude of others that have been affected.
Sitting on the floor with her and yelling and screaming (again - jeez is there any other way that Rodriguez can find to convey the seriousness of the situation - I strongly urge him to see his acting coach and work on enlarging his options for reacting to emergencies on screen)?!?!?!?!?!?
Where the hell was his phone? He is the most emotionally out-of-control, verging on incompetent, cop I've ever seen (and I work with cops).
I totally agree with this statement. I don't mind Delko coming back, I don't mind him being part of the team again, in fact, I welcome him back, but he has been sitting center seat for so long, shouldn't this be about time to let other characters shine? Ryan, Natalia, and Frank have more than earn their stripes on this show, shouldn't they take center stage now? I'm not even asking for Jesse and Walter since they are the newbies so they have to wait their turn, but Ryan, Natalia, and Frank deserve to take front burner position considering over the last few years it's been Horatio, Calleigh, and Eric. I notice recently they've definitely been toning down on Horatio's appearances, maybe they should do the same with Delko.
As for the whole responding to emergency, I have to admit, as much as it was dramatic appeal with him screaming and yelling, to think about it realistically is to realize the plain stupidness of that scene. Surely a long-time cop would know by now to use phone and call for help instead of yelling for help in a lab where NO ONE is in a position to help him!:scream: I mean seriously, if a 5 year old knows to call for help in trouble, surely a veteran cop knows the drill. Screaming and yelling on the floor doesn't do anything to solve the issue no matter how loud your voice can be!
And on what planet was Horatio "still reeling" from the horrible betrayal of last week? He looked just fine to me.
I was confused on that one as well, he looked frustrated, not reeling from betrayal....he just looked like he was not very happy and kinda pissed off in that calm way Horatio can be.....
Maybe next season will give us a more clear view?
Natalia was fantastic. She looked great and the warmth that just seems to natually radiate from her was there in every scene again last night. I also liked her and the professor's interaction. I was sure the spoilers said he was going to die, so I was pleasantly surprised that he didn't and I hope that he and Natalia get a chance to hook up later.
Natalia always look gorgeous! I really do hope she gets a man who will treat her well, god knows she deserves one!
Frank! Yippee! I want more. I'm never satisfied with the minimal Frank we get.
Same way I'm never satisfied with the minimal Don Flack scenes, apparently being a cop doesn't do well for screentime....well I'm just happy that Frank is around, he is too funny to waste!:lol:
Ryan looked fantastic and Jonathan did an amazing job (as always). The scene with Ryan and Delko jumping the fence and Delko diving into the pool was very well done by both and very well shot. It was exciting!
I love love Ryan! And I totally agree the fence jumping scene made me VERY happy...
That said, I thought the finale was alright. It didn't blow my mind but at least they tried something somewhat different.
The best part for me was when the young woman (their prime suspect) was explaining how they seemed to fit their evidence to suit them, which to me, they've been doing constantly over the past 5 years. :lol: So having her speak about that was interesting.
I LOVED that moment. It's so true. And it seemed to me that they had Horatio somewhat acknowledging the truth to the statement with the flashback and the look on his face when she said it.
Hope that means TPTB have had some sort of epiphany and will gear their stories to correct it.
I think that's a very realistic point she brought up, because even in real life, people have views and biases that will undoubtably effect an investigation. Bias cannot possible be completely put aside, a lot of that is subconscious. Good to see the show pointing that out.
You know Horatio doesn't like what was being said, but the one thing I love about H is that, he will take it, he will take the judgement and deal with it instead of getting all pissy and in suspect's face about it like some other people would do when they are being righteously insulted.
Good for Horatio!
The rest have a lot of story potential left to explore. Especially Ryan, Natalia and Frank. I know that Jesse and Walter do as well, but part of me is thinking that maybe they need to wait their turn.
I've been waiting for Ryan, Natalia, and Frank to take front burner for a long time. Jesse and Walter can wait a bit, the other three deserves it most definitely!
Wasn't there something said about continuing the Jesse's dead wife storyline and bringing back his wife's "accused" killer for a few guest stars? Maybe next season will bring that storyline to an end.
