Re: Horatio/DC's Thread #11
Oh man, 'Witness to Murder'. I'm so glad y'all brought it up. I was watching it too, and I have to say...Emmy worthy for both DC and the man who played Eugene. It was that great. (Not something you'd expect this season.
)
So many emotional scenes, and it really brought a lot of heart to the show. It was great to see the mighty Horatio Caine falter when he was in the hospital room with Eugene. You could really hear the strain in his voice as he told him to hold on. What really got me was when Eugene asked if they were partners.
Gosh, such a sad scene, and yet powerful at the same time. CSI:Miami in it's prime right there.

This is what I mean when I go on about how great this show once was. We just don't get episodes like this anymore.
Agreed, 100%. I have to reassure people I know that the show used to be great! If there was one episode to show that, I'd choose 'Witness to Murder' hands down. Just an excellent episode. The writing was fantastic, both cases were wonderful, the acting was top notch, and it really made one want to tune in next week to see what else they had in store. *sigh* Good times everyone, good times.
The episodes now just aren't the same. Horatio doesn't seem to carry the same dynamic that he once used to. I mean, he's still heroic and generous and caring, but there's more than one side to this penny. For now we're only seeing the over-glorified saintly Horatio Caine. The writers seem to have forgotten the go-getter, no fear, right in your face, passionate about getting that bad guy Horatio Caine. I'd like to see them concentrate a little more on H's other characteristics for a bit. (We've also seen him make mistakes. - Losing Face when he ran rough shot over the evidence. He's in no way perfect.)
Also, he used to be a man about the science.
I believe in the episode 'Losing Face', this was a great scene to show of Horatio's character:
Megan: You miss it don't you? Being on the front lines.
Horatio: The simple answer is no.
Megan: I saw you out there. Why leave something you're good at?
Horatio: You ever been at a horse race?
Megan: Life's enough of a gamble.
Horatio: Some horses, run better on a harness. And the science, is my discipline.
Now don't tell me the writers conveniently 'forgot' about that.
(Although they probably did) I think the harness broke around the beginning of season three.
And thanks for those pics
liten, they're wonderful!
