Loved tonight's!
- Was that a hot opening or was that hot? I agree, I love how the editors spliced the two scenes of Eric and Cal getting ready for work and poor Ryan getting tortured and dumped off the road to "get to work". I thought that was a great shot of Eric waking up :drool:, barechested and sleepy-eyed in Cal's bed, all laid out with his arms out at his sides (at least I think they were, I have to watch it again) and they quickly showed the shot of Ryan lying on the ground in a similar position/angle as Eric but obviously Ryan was not in a warm bed like Eric! Thought it was neat comparison of similar physical positions in contrasting environments/situations. Kudos to the editors!
- I agree (and I'm sure every other Eric fan will), wow, that was one sexy view of Eric's back as he's getting out of bed. I'm still drooling from it! :drool: :drool: :drool: Boy, would have been even better if the camera still stayed on him as he stood up, I'm sure he's one to go commando under the sheets when he sleeps :devil: And even hotter was when he was taking a shower and stepping out wrapped in a towel, too hot for words! Nice navel Adam! I'm jealous of Emily as she gets to stare at a half-naked Adam in such close proximity.
- Aww, such a sweet moment of Cal and Eric in the bathroom getting ready (yes, I also immediately noticed the unmade bed in the background!), giving each other smiles and adoring glances, especially when Cal was putting on her earrings. While there appears to be no words exchanged during the scenes the viewers see (I'm sure there were in fanfiction land) between Eric and Cal in the bathroom, there doesn't need to be as their facial expressions and body language says it all: "We are in love". At one point, I was almost going to think they were going to give each other a quick smooch before heading off to work.
Boy, Cal has one big bathroom! You can fit, like what 8 people in there?? I guess we never got a shaving scene but who cares, it's a shirtless Eric that we got again! How grateful are we to get two shirtless-stepping out of the shower scenes this season? Next up: Towel-less Delko!!
- I agree with CalleighEricFan, the scene with Ryan when he produced the shell casing to Cal and Eric afterward the initial evidence collecting left me saddened and I felt bad for Ryan. While Eric was angry with Ryan for withholding evidence and told him to get out the lab, Cal was a mix of hurt, disappointment and disbelief over what Ryan had done with the evidence. She waved him away but I could see her actually approaching Ryan at a later moment to say something like why didn't he trust her enough to confide in her and ask for help, especially when she gave him the opportunity to do so when she asked him earlier if he was in trouble and he lied.
I view Ryan's "secret" being different from E/C's as the former's is directly linked to the case and poor Ryan got his body parts rearranged and another life was at stake while the latter is more on a personal level with regards to relationships not directly impacted by work (at this point). Having said that, I did feel bad for Ryan as it came across as "Eric and Cal Versus Ryan" for him 'screwing up' and jeopardizing a criminal case and his career as a CSI. If both Eric and Cal were told of the real reason behind Ryan's actions, I'm sure they'll be more understanding. It would be interesting how their relationship/interaction with Ryan pans out in the next episode after what happened tonight; it would be nice for them to make amends. (hmm, what's going to happen to Ryan's tainted status as CSI???).
- It was great to see how E/C can work professionally on this case after a night of great sex, I'm sure! :devil:
- I know this isn't about E/C but did I enjoy the sweet scene between Cal and Ryan when she quitely questioned Ryan about his personal life and if everything was OK with him as she noticed his cut lip and missing tooth. BTW, how in the world did she know about his missing tooth?!? Was she peering into his mouth?? :lol: Is Cal turning into SuperH, knows all, sees all?? Regardless, it makes sense it was Cal who had this scene with Ryan as she was always a mentor to him and keeping him in line when he got too arrogant or breaking lab protocol (blood sample test tube, gambling, etc.).
Gosh, sorry for running off at the mouth, but I really enjoyed this episode for many reasons!
That's alright. I totally agree with everything you wrote! LOL, Cal isn't turning into Super H. Cal just knows Ryan well. They've always been shown as closer friends than him and Eric. I wasn't surprised she noticed something off about him. During Calleigh, Eric and Ryan scenes when Eric and Ryan are fighting seeing Calleigh in the middle of it reminded me of previous seasons.
LOL about Calleigh's bathroom. It is nice! So was the opening. It was way more than I was expecting, much more than what was shown in the preview clips. Not that I'm complaning. That opening with E/C was enough for me
