Re: Horatio & Yelina #7 - "So Much Unresolved Love" (we quot
Geez, Luce, thanks so very much for saving all 4 of Griffyn's posts. I only had the one I posted. You Rock like Gibraltar! *huggles*
I would like to re-post some other excerpts just because these still have uncanny bearing almost 2 years hence. (Note: the post was written for s4 when rumor had it that H would be having issue).
"It would appear that after three seasons of interacting and rescuing an array of children coupled with his random huffing and puffing over his only nephew and niece, Horatio has passed some sort of entrance examination and is now deemed "ready" to have progeny. The irony here is that in Season 4, Horatio has been made to ruthlessly abandon all of his family, child members included, without even a smidgen of remorse or reflection.
To recapitulate the current situation with his flesh-and-blood child relatives, by virtue of his brother's cowardly double crossing actions, Horatio's only nephew continues to be in dire peril; in addition, his only niece who is leukemic and was recently at death's door, presumably still is without a bone marrow donor as young Ray Jr is in hiding in Brazil. With this entire tumultuous mêlée surrounding the two youngest members of his family as yet unresolved , where oh where is Uncle Horatio in Season 4? Oh yes, he's been made to turn his back on young Ray Jr and Madison and look for "love" and "other" family in all the wrong places and for all the wrong reasons. Not exactly "Uncle or Father of the Year" material."
I'm reminded of a Churchillian quote:
"Truth is incontrovertible; malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it; but, in the end; there it is."
The "truth" here is that in Season 4, THEY continue in mind boggling fashion, to write for and appeal to that troglodytic section of the general vierwership, the ones that watch Miami for the simplistic "Ooh-Aah" Factor without any pivotal comprehension of the overall dynamic or the True Canon-verse. Unfortunately, it is this same undiscriminating demographic that ramps up the ratings numbers by cheaply buying into THEIR smoke and mirrors. It really is the whoring of the Original Miami in all its infamy. Treacherous and such an utter waste of an entire season. This is the Incontrovertible Truth as things stand just now.
So, in reply to your queries about the potential return of the worthy principles of the Original Canon-verse in the near future, well not bloody likely. THEY have lost the plot, chapter, line and verse. Until THEY can collectively re-align THEMSELVES to the sound merits of the Original Canon-verse, look upwards towards creative enlightenment, have some honest to goodness pride and emotive intelligence in THEIR storytelling, we will be well and truly mired in THEIR self-perpetuating muck for sometime yet."

Touché.

Touché.
Thanks for reminding us of these absolute gems Tally. It's been a joy re-reading them and the accuracy of G's analysis is still so very relevant, almost two years later. Scary but true.
