Re: Horatio/DC #12: Miami Never Closes. Neither Does This Th
I like DC, don't get me wrong, and I think he's a really good actor, but I try not to love him like I love Horatio. I think Horatio is an amazing, awesome person, and he has flaws. That's what makes him great. if he didn't have flaws, I'd think he was too unreal, too unbelievealbe, and just not...as lovable as he is. DC is different, he's not a hero, he hasn't done anything to make me LOVE him. If he had been a cop, or was a huge part in charity (like Emily Procter, for example) or had served in a war or something to set him apart as an amazing person, that would be different. To me, he's just a really good actor who's character I really really love.
Of course he was better in s1-3, I mean he had a set character who was not only a tough, strong hero, but he was a softer, sweeter, more caring and loving person who consoled victims, their famalies, handled everything and helped out everyone, and really had the whole we feel bad for him thing going. We did feel bad for him, look at what his life was like and he
still was able to be the amazing person he was. Some people with rough lives use that as an excuse to be a criminal, Horatio used that as an excuse to be a hero. He was amazing.
And don't get me wrong, he still is, but I wish we could see more of his soft, loving side, because right now he's still great, but not like before. I'm also string to think that maybe it's not completely him, it's the cases. I know his attitude is different, and he's more selfish (not that he's selfish, just less selfless than he was) but the cases have changed in the sense that there aren't as many children. But then again, in 'Broken Home' there was the woman who's mother (or was it grandmother?) was killed by that doctor, and he stayed with her but we didn't see any Horatio hugs, or really kind words, and he walked away from her at the end. While it looked great, it wasn't like before where he would sit with victims and comfort them.
If DC does influence what they do on CSI: Miami like
Pusher said, and he does respect his character, then I think he should suggest they bring back the old H. I mean, maybe it was his idea to get all macho and weird, but he should realize that the sensitive, sweet H is what people want to see. It made him different from other cops, it made him more of a hero because he was able to not only stare grief in the face but converse with it and try to make it better. I hope DC realizes this. I hope TPTB realize this as well.
I might make no sense and I'm sorry.
It's really early.
