LOL. Who would've thought it would cause such a ruckus.
First of all, I have to say that I don't believe that the photo is a joke or meant to throw us off.
Promo pics are meant for that (at times), but not a random set photo, imo.
I don't have an issue with him going in after her, personally. But I can understand how others think it looks too ridiculous (but IMO, we've seen worse - Calleigh/ghost; Eric/dead/alive).
But nevermind the fact that he's been shot & in the water, my concern is how the hell he'll get that trunk opened without looking like freakin' He-Man!
I can buy him not wasting precious time & heading in after her (It isn't like he's going to swan-dive in
) -- and I have no worries that David won't display Horatio as struggling while underwater; I can be convinced there. I can even buy the scenario that he'd half-ass drag himself & her to the shore. It's the trunk part that I'm having trouble trying to imagine.
As I said in the spoiler thread, I think no matter how it's done, we will have to give tptb a pass whether we like it or not. IMO, there's just too much going on with having 2 characters down, in 2 different locations, one is bleeding, one is drowning.
All I know is that I don't want the rescue to be lame, boring, & lack excitement & intensity. I know they will survive, but that doesn't mean that I want to see them both rescued with ease & quickness.
