Re: Eric/Calleigh #26: Known To Cause Arousal In Laboratory

Yay! Thanks, Lucy! You rock! Now I don't have to force my pathetic internet to suffer through innertube's skip-happiness in order to watch merely the EC scenes over and over, heh. :D

*sigh* That Hummer scene. Perfect angst. :D

If they wanted it to be some fling they would have already gotten them together and not gone through all the stuff we have gotten up to this point.

That's so true. Remember EN? There was nothing, then it happened, and it was all over, just like that. With Eric and Calleigh, it's like they're taking their sweet time. I agree; if what EC had was merely surface stuff, we would've already moved past that. But this is taking forever. This is no fling. There are real, genuine feelings here. What they've showed us is that throughout everything (the bad relationships, the okay relationships, the trust issues, timing issues, etc), they're both always there for each other, and it's always going to be that way, aww. :D
 
Re: Eric/Calleigh #26: Known To Cause Arousal In Laboratory

Ohhh, yeah innertube totally sucks for me too Jess! :p Hey Happy B'day by the way hon! *throws confetti!* :D

Lol, yeah I am not an angst fan, but that Hummer scene was totally sweet! They finally addressed the elephant in the room! :lol: Didn't resolve anything but at least they're not totally ignoring it!

Yeah I'm okay with them taking their sweet time because it actually means it is something they are invested in developing! They don't have to take quite so freakin' long...but as long as they get together dang it, it will be all worth it! :devil: :D
 
Re: Eric/Calleigh #26: Known To Cause Arousal In Laboratory

Thanks! :D

I agree, I think it's huge that this is actually a story arc. Even the cases are all solved in the span of one workday (unless Miami has perpetual sunshine and nobody changes clothes anymore :lol:), and the flings were what, one or two episodes? My point is that for this much time and emphasis to be put on the EC storyline, it has to be going somewhere. These writers just would not put that much time and energy into something they were just going to toss by the wayside in an ep or two. If it was going to be forgotten anytime soon, they would make it forgetable. Which they aren't. :D Which hopefully means this is going all the way eventually, and maybe we can get that Calleigh wakes up in the morning in Eric's arms with her hair all tousled and a satisfied grin on her face scene. Because, aw. :D

:lol: While that wouldn't be the most unbelievable thing ever on Miami ;) I'm guessing that's not true...so yeah the PTB making this a story arc means we will be getting our E/C lovin'! (I just read this over and I'm not sure it makes total sense...but oh well! :lol: )

That says it perfectly! *Applauds!* That's really what it comes down to, if it's gonna be a waste of time and not going to amount to anything they won't waste their time writing it...if it's going to last and stretch out into the future, then they will take the time and energy to focus on it and stretch out the suspense so when it does happen (cuz it WILL!) it will be that much sweeter! :D :D

And I would LOVE that scene hon...that would make my year! :D
 
Re: Eric/Calleigh #26: Known To Cause Arousal In Laboratory

My toaster had driven me to within an inch of my sanity. I'm hoping that watching some E/C will help. It's given me a twitch.

*laughs hysterically* Drommie

P.S Happy birthday Jessica! You wouldn't happen to want a talking toaster would you? Hee Hee!
 
Re: Eric/Calleigh #26: Known To Cause Arousal In Laboratory

Happy Birthday Jessica! I hope you had a great day! *hands cake and an E/C related pressie*

I love how they have Eric and Calleigh relationship so... normal. I know that sounds strange but hear me out.

If they had, like, some killer virus or a secret double life keeping them apart, we all wouldn't be half as interested. It's the fact they are a normal man and a normal woman who want each other and the only thing keeping them apart is FEAR. Plain and simple.

Strangly, it gives the two more depth than any complx story line would.
 
Re: Eric/Calleigh #26: Known To Cause Arousal In Laboratory

I agree Adorelo , it also keeps us at the edge of our seats cause since it is nothing complex keeping them apart it could happen at any moment. They just need to get over it, specially Calleigh. Right now I love that everything is just so emotional. I mean, the look on Calleigh's face was so sad when Eric didn't tell her what was happening the first time. :( And Eric was so sad also. I like that they are giving it the depht it deserves letting the public see how much they are both affected by what's going on. It shows, what we have always known, that it is not a simple attraction, it goes much more deeper to their feelings and emotions.
 
Re: Eric/Calleigh #26: Known To Cause Arousal In Laboratory

Drommie, you have a talking toaster? Intriguing!
Jessica, happy birthday!

Jodie, you are so right! Oh bless depth of relationships! that's one of the reasons I'm glad they didn't throw the two together in the earlier seasons...it allowed them to build as friends before doing so as lovers.

So...I've been doing some thinking about the coffee maker scene, and it would have been really cute if it had been Eric and Calleigh talking about it (even if they're just talking about something random as friends). As far as Jake's reaction, yeah he was kind of uncarring, but what unnerved me more is that Calleigh said "we" in referrence to getting one of those coffee machines. I guess it makes sense fromt he stand point of making it known that they're together, but for some reason it just makes it sound like a serious relationship! I guess given that they had a relationship in the past, it would be natural for them to go a bit faster this time, but still...
Random sidenote: "It makes lattes, cappucinos, macchiatos..." in terms of the coffee part, they're all made the same. the only difference is the way you steam the milk and the type of syrup you put in...

Okay...I don't know why I added that...I think I've spent too much time at Starbucks.
 
Re: Eric/Calleigh #26: Known To Cause Arousal In Laboratory

Eric not telling her about seeing Speed has nothing to do with trust issues. It has everything to do with him not wanting her to think he is crazy and totally look at him like an invalid.

Their feelings run soo deep that they don't always need to talk to know that other is suffering or something is wrong. I don't think the fact that her being with Jake had anything to do with him not telling her; like I said, he didn't want her to think of him any differently.

This isn't some crush...like Hiphugger17 said, E/C are finally realizing what we have known all the long; that they are more than friends and their feelings run deep and I like the way the writers are handling this b/c we, the viewer already know they want eachother, but now we are getting to see things from Eric and Calleigh's pov and how they are coming to the realization of what they feel.
 
Re: Eric/Calleigh #26: Known To Cause Arousal In Laboratory

I know! And, as much as I have complained at the lack of E/C, I am thankful the writers have waited until now to start things happening. They did better than I expected them to.

As for the not telling Calleigh thing. I am torn as to why he didn't. It could be because he doesn't want her to worry, but it could also be a subconcious way of trying to spite her. (Here's where my psychology kicks in- we are all so multi-talanted on here. Jacks with her coffee :) ....)

On some level, maybe he blames her. Obviously not for the shooting, but for the emtional hurt he is now feeling because of her. (He cares about her too much; probably more than he should, but it is that that makes them so great.)

But Calleigh is with Jake, and she has ruined all the little 'moments' that had been building up though season 5.

Maybe he thinks that by not telling her, he is getting her back for all the hurt she has caused him. Of course, later in that very scene we see 'guilty Eric' take a seat, and the look he gives her at the end indicates he regrets his actions. Then maybe he does want to tell her, but can't find the words.


And I think Calleigh saying 'Is it me and Jake' in the car (or someting to that effect) is very telling. She obviously knows what she has done has hurt Eric, or she wouldn't have mentioned it.
 
Re: Eric/Calleigh #26: Known To Cause Arousal In Laboratory

Calleigh might be dating Jake but her heart lies with Eric...

Yes, I have a talking toaster. Well ... My mum has a talking toaster which is the only reason it isn't in the lake at the bottom of our garden. It is programmed with 100 phrases but i've only ever heard 4, it has settings for toast, crumpets, buns, baps, baguettes, bagels, sandwiches, waffles, muffins, teacakes, croissants, pancakes, hot cross buns and flapjacks (I hate flapjacks) and we don't even have most of the ingredients to make most of the above. Another thing, it's completely silent until i'm on my own with it then it starts asking me if I want any flapjacks. I hate flapjacks. I can't stand flapjacks and that bl**dy toaster knows it! It winds me up! It's like the toaster in Red Dwarf but 100 times more annoying and 100 times less intelligent. It will not shut up. It's driving me spare. It asking me if i want a flapjack is what led to the accident involving me, the toaster and a rather large hammer! You can't turn it off either. It has internal back up batteries so (And I quote from the packaging) 'Your taking toasting friend will always be there for you no matter what!' I hate it. It's seriously irritating. It's defective. It's absolutely mental. Anyone want an MR 3000 Series toaster with intellitalk technology called 'ABLE' (Though my preffered name for it is THE LITTLE B*ST*RD) Slightly ... erm ... dodgy ... small dint due to a hammer related incident? Although my mum loves it. She thinks it's great. I might have a hard time convincing her to give it up.

Sent me to Bedlam, Where theres no talking toasters, Drommie

P.S 'Does anyone want any toast?'
 
Re: Eric/Calleigh #26: Known To Cause Arousal In Laboratory

Yeah...stupid Jake with his stupid vest. I'm glad she knows that she hurt Eric, and maybe she's not quite sure yet how she can fix it. That's why they continue the dance they do (or whatever you want to call it). They're both so freaking stubborn. Honestly, Jodie, you could probably do a whole case study on those two.
At the same time, evidently this is how life goes...It's so hard to find absolute resolution, especially when it comes to starting a relationship with someone. First, you have to be attracted to someone, then they have to be attracted to you, then you have to figure out you're attracted to each other, then you have to get up the nerve to confront it (despite the possiblity that you could have your heart broken). And there's all that "will it work, won't it work? What happens if this craps out?" etc. And it's bad enough because no matter how well you might think you can read someone, there's always the possibility that you're wrong, and it's hard to take that chance with your heart...Honestly, it seems like no one is on the same page at the same time...I'm amazed that anyone manages to have a real relationship with all of te ambiguity surrounding love these days.
 
Re: Eric/Calleigh #26: Known To Cause Arousal In Laboratory

Like Jacks said...nothing in real life is simple and most of the time you have to go through what E/C is going through now to get to the point where you and the other person involved are both on the same page and ready to take the chance of being together.

We are getting that, just slowly and IMO very painfully but it is happening and I think it is a good sign of long term (as long as these things can be on a tv show) things to come. And I know I have said it before but I will continue to say it, E/C has a great potential to last long and I am hoping that since the writers are taking their time getting them together, they will KEEP them together for a long time. B/c they do have lasting potential and it would open so many doors for both characters and it would seem, if the ratings and reviews are any indication, that a lot of people are responding positively to this storyline, it would be in the writers good interest to keep them together.

Oh my! It's like the Chucky of toasters, and I really don't know how I feel about that ;) Wow...I honestly didn't know there were talking toasters. So this probably isn't what you want to hear right now, but you could turn all your frustration into a cute little fluffy fanfic :) Demonic toasters make for good stories you know.

Jackie, I'm so glad you've put a logical spin to this...I find myself sometimes thinking that the writers need to put Eric and Calleigh together simply so I can maintain my sanity!
If you take a step back and really look at what's happened to them, they've had a great journey thus far, and a logical outcome would be for them to finally initiate a relationship. Now I'm not saying the writers aren't going to screw with us then split them up, but with everything they've been through (together and individually) and who they are, maybe it's time to give them what's right.
 
Re: Eric/Calleigh #26: Known To Cause Arousal In Laboratory

Hahah, Jacks. I can use E/C for my thesis. :p I'm sure my professor would love that. Oh and *off topic* you're story should be up by the weekend. I have it finished, but it needs typing. Hehe.

*on topic* You know, with our combined efforts we could probably do a complete profile, analysis and reccomendation for these two. I think we have though more about their characters than the writers!
