Re: Eric & Calleigh #25 -- Traffic-Jam In The Pleasure Grott
Someone just posted this on LJ.
ATTENTION ALL SHIPPERS!!!
This is a public announcement, one of great importance!!
Are you a Calleigh shipper? Are you happy with her lovelife? Do you want things to change? Do you want her to be happy? Are you tired of seeing her choose the wrong men?
If you have answered yes, no, yes, yes and yes to these questions, than you too see a real problem with Calleigh and with the show that cannot be ignored any further. It is a certain character that has caused the scales of CSI: Miami to tip dangerously, and who has caused great deal of hurt for many people.
Since Season 5, his presence has been overbearing and stifling, his character has snuffed out chances for shippers the world over, DuCaine, HipHugger, and CaRWash alike.
His name is JAKE BERKLEY.
I know shippers have had their differences over the years, but now is our chance to unite and rid CSI: Miami of a character who has nothing to contribute and can only spell total disaster for Calleigh Duquesne. He not only showed a trace of concern for her carcrash in "Going Under", but as a result of Jake's impulsive, rash behaviour, Calleigh was shot at the pier in "Going, Going, Gone". His ethics and morals do not suit Calleigh's, and if we allow him to continue to poison her, she will end up getting seriously hurt, physically, or even heartbroken.
Even as an ATF agent, his methods are unorthodox, and even Horatio has expressed concern that he will go the same way as his brother Raymond. Eric has watched Calleigh and Jake in the lab, and if Ryan was still there, he surely would have expressed worry over this recent development. He has used a young girl as means of gaining entry into a party to get to a suspect dealing drugs. A real man wouldn't even contemplate such methods. He refuses to help CSI, putting his own goals and his own investigations above theirs. I believe that all 3 men may be worried about Jake hurting Calleigh since they all care for her so much.
We have watched Calleigh choose the wrong men over the course of the show, but this time it has gone too far. Whoever any of us believe Calleigh should be with, be it Ryan, Eric, or Horatio, it should be anyone but Jake.
I propose we start a petition to get rid of Jake once and for all, if not for our sakes as shippers, but for Calleigh's sake as a character, because her personality changes since Tim Speedle's death have been terribly saddening. She needs someone who will take care of her, love her for who she is, someone who will bring back the old Calleigh from seasons past.
I will start the petition in the next few days, and your support would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for taking time to read this. Please post it on to your fellow shippers and friends.
Spread the word, JAKE HAS TO GO!!!!
