Believe me! You'll like this episode!! :lol: We have Mac/Stella scenes and we have rambo Stella! And I love Rambo Stella soo soo much! I know Stella is trained and strong but it hurts me to see some guy using full strength to hit her. She deserved to be cherish and loved by someone and we have one doesn't we?
But I have nothing more to say. 'Cause I get disturb when I watch them earlier. I have to watch them again.
I watched last night's episode and found it funny that Sid asked both of them if they were busy (in my head implying that they had plans together).
I was disappointed in that Mac & Stella were still kinda butting heads but not too much. Stella was right to tell Mac that she understands where Hawkes is coming from and Mac should have picked up on the hint she dropped about loved ones being hurt. How would Mac feel if something happened to Stella?
Ok, off to pretend to work, just thought I'd pop in and say hi.
**off Topic**
My sister in law is doing better, she should hopefully be home with us next week.
OMG all people i love came back. SO that's GREAT:thumbsup:
Jenn-->i'm glad my dear you are enjoying the summer. The best is you are ok:bolian: LOL the best of Season 3 is at the end (and at the beginning too)Tell your friend to come over inmediately
Family, well i couldn't wait and i watched the episode
*I think i should define it as a disagreement the scene after Sheldon left Mac's office. It wasn't a catfight or anything like that. Stella was trying to make him understand Sheldon's emotions about this. BTW again they looked as hubby and wife. Mac's "Look, don't try to defend"
*Sheldon?---> He broke my heart completely. When you give space to a talented actor you have scenes like these ones. My most beloved scene is when he talked to Stella. The connection Stella had with the two of them was amazing but in special with Sheldon. Stella was a victim of the violence. She understands the rage and the frustration and the sadness which invaded him (and her)
Axel---> dear, Hinting? well i feel we were offered a lot of things for Mac will regret it for in the future. I don't think Stella was reproaching Mac for being under attack episodes earlier when she said those words
"It's hard to control your emotions when someone you love is being attacked".
I don't think it's a coincidence she was attacked again (let me check . Is this the third time in the season?)
*totally enjoyable the last scene. If anyone has a doubt they are living together should watch this episode. (Lori , i'm completely with you on this):bolian: They were heading towards the entrance when Sid came up and asked them
He talked as someone who is talking to a couple
I love how Sid listened to me and he left them alone some minutes:lol: LOVE how Stella looked at Mac when they sat. Love the song and the musicians and the sweet smiles the three of them had
i LOVED the episode:bolian:
(later i will add more comments but i want to watch the episode again and i'm not at home)
I had six exam this week and tomorrow I will have another one. So I had no minute for smac thing before tomorrow night. I just take ten minute for see your comments and now I'm impatience. I'll see this great épisode tomorrow nigth. It sound so great......
Thank you everyone It was my little time off.
I forgot another scene i really enjoyed: was the one with Mac, Stella, Danny and Lindsay in the conference Room . They wroked as a team and i enjoyed it. Love Melina's expression. She made her Stella looked almost frustrating for not reaching Mac
Again i repeat what i say before, possibly we are looking at Stella's fate at the end of the season
Tex!!!!!!!!!!!! *************Quote:

I think he will find out soon. Maybe it could be agood reason why we didn't get the "Reunion" scene at the beginning or any other emotional scene which implied feelings for each other: we are going to have those at the end. Because i bet 100 bucks (If i had them:lol Stella will be in danger and probably she will severly injured (well a trip to Greece would be amazing)
I LOVED Rambo Stella:thumbsup: but the vid and the voices are going in delay here so it was funny but i couldn't really appreciate it
As promised I rewatched and can give a little more insight! Thanks to the cold weather here, school was cancelled and I have cleaning to do or eppie to watch? HMMM???
Just some scenes with
Mac and Stella together:
D/L M/S are in Macs office talking over the case.Lindsy relays some coinsidences and Mac turns and says Stella?
Stella: I here ya Mac
Mac: These are two crimes happened in different parts of the city. Two seperate victims who died in two very different ways. Unless we uncover concrete evidence that connect those crimes focus on the individeual cases as they stand now.
Then Mac gets up to leave and that is when he puts his hand on the back of Stellas chair (rats at first I thought it was on her back sorry !).
Later M/S are walking down the hall discussing the case about the jewelry ,suspect and connection, Adam interrupts ,he ran a DNA sample for Sheldon that was againest prodacall.
Next scene Macs office: S/H/M
It looks as if Stella and Mac were in Macs office and Sheldon was called to his office (Notice how Mac lets Stella stay! Earlier when he wanted to talk to Sheldon and Adam was there he asked Adam to leave!!)
Mac is all over Sheldon for having Adam process DNA against proper procedure.
Stella: Asks if they can bring suspect in even though they did not follow prodacall
MAC to Stella : (Arguementively but she was O.K with his tone) "He could lawyer up"!
A few more words to Mac from Sheldon and he leaves the office.
MAC and Stella:
Stella: Mac?
Mac: "Look, dont try to defend him"
Stella: "I'm not, Hawkes should have followed proper prodacall,but he stepped over the line because someone he loved got hurt by this guy.
Mac: Aw C'Mon you know I know that! (Stella really can get to this guy cant she?? And ONLY she can get away with it Chuckle chuckle!!)
Stella: I know jj just I want you to hold on a second. You gotta realize that people just cant turn off there emotions when something horriable happens.
Mac: Thats EXACTLY why I pulled Sheldon off the case.
This reminded me of the arguement over Reed in season 4 and "his Pride got in the way" fight . But Mac is right in my opinion to make sure everything is done right so the guy doesnt walk. It was "Prideful and personal"with Reed, but with Sheldon it is "Professonal and personal"... I'm with Mac on this.
Later Sheldon goes to the guys night club and Mac follows him. Mac tells him dont do it and reminds him that they do not have enough evidence yet. Sheldon shares his feelings about the whole situation how he feels like he let Kira down. Mac assures him they are gonna get this guy. He makes Sheldon realize they DONT have enough evidence.
Next scene:Macs office D/S/M
They are talking out the case. missing jewely,rapes, suspect connections.
Next scene Stella is at the apartment of the suspects with his fiance convincing her that he is a rapist and murderer. She has the jewelry connection to convince her. He comes home "Whats going on" Stella tells him he is under arrest. They have scuffle he hits Stella, she pops off a round in his arm, he grabs a fire place utensil and swings knocks the gun out of Stellas hand, she retrieves it and pops off another in his leg Truth be known: STELLA KICKS HIS A@#%@#&**#@! Later:Mac and Stella are in the hall getting ready to go home.Talking about the case and its connection.
Stella: If Laural didnt see the necklace we never would have connected the case.
Mac: Sounds like "Fate" to me!
Here comes Sid: Hey you two have any plans?
Next scene subway and that my friends is the end!!
BUT NO WAIT!!!
Where were Mac and Stella going? Were they going together? What did he mean by "Fate"? Do they really think we dont know they ADORE EACH OTHER??? Stay tuned for next week when the dynamic duo try to hide there feelings again and what?? A SHE -NIT is coming there way? HA! SWAT,SWAT! GOTCHA YA LITTLE....
Awws, i finally got time to come here I have so much catching up to do, you guys have gone really fast with this topic ^^ I still wish I had stayed in Hong Kong and Thailand for few days (or lets say weeks) more, those 10 days were too few.. And Hong Kong <3_<3 that city definitely made to my 'top 5 cities i've visited', luv the city. Okay, back to the actual topic.
When Mac said this I was like 'What?!11! That's soooo not-Mac-like line!!' That line really doesn't suit Mac. But anyhow, me likes it <2 And the way he says it, of course.
Awwie, this eppy was awesome. I liked the case, disliked a bit Lindsay's tidbits of unimportant information, but loved all the Mac/Stella scenes. And the end :adore:, too. Sid was cute, and Mac and Stella looked like they were having a good time. It has been a long time since we've seen this much Smacked (or any Mac/Stella scenes. There's been a huge lack of Smacked and it created the feeling that Mac and Stella had a big gap between them, compared to several other eppys in the past). Omg, Rambo!Stella ! Me likes as much as angry!Mac :lol: Hm, I wanna know where Mac and Stella were going before Sid asked if they had time. That would've been nice to know
Thank you everyone who saw it for telling the rest of us the Smacked scenes. Well, it wasn't as Smacked as we hoped....no mention of Stella in Hawkes' and Mac's talks. Hill said both would be talking about something personal, did that actually happen?
I like the sound of Mac and Stella's butting heads rather than having a catfight. It sounds like Stella was trying to help Mac out as well, telling him he has to learn people can't just turn off their emotions etc. And he touches her back at one point? That is very Smacked!
I find it interesting that Stella said it's hard not to get emotional when someone you love gets attacked. I think that is why Mac has been fighting/butting heads with Stella lately, he is emotional because she got attacked.
Axel, you said you think Stella thinks Mac didn't really care when she got attacked. That is very interesting. I think that Mac did care, a lot, but because he's Mac, he tried to hide it. Mac tries to turn off his emotions, we've seen that before, and I guess they tell/train you to do that to some degree both in the military and as a cop/CSI so that you don't lose it in a fight/feel sympathy with the enemy/so you can shoot bad guys when you have to/so you can work hard cases. Thing is, as Stella said, people can't do that, not always, anyway, and especially not when someone they love is hurt. Sheldon can't do it this time, and Mac needs to learn that, but he needs to learn too that he can't turn off his emotions either. So I wonder if when Stella said that to him, she was meaning him as well as Sheldon. She knows him well enough to know he tries to hide/turn off his emotion, and it must hurt her to see it.
Mac needs to show/tell Stella he cares, like he did in Forbidden Fruit, like he did in RND. We know he does care, but he needs to show her that!
And I love Rambo Stella, and love the description of her kicking a** this ep, but she needs to stop going off on her own after bad guys! It always ends badly, we've seen that with Mac (the Dobson thing), with Danny (when he shot that cop in OTJ) and with Aiden (Pratt!) I think the season finale or the Diakos-finale (if they're not one and the same) may well have Stella going off on her own, and Mac having to rescue/help her.
So I'm happy we got 'disagreement' rather than a 'crack in their alliance'. Mac and Stella are always butting heads. I really don't think this is anything to worry about. The team is always butting heads with one another, it's not just Mac and Stella, and they all still have that very strong sense of family.
The butting heads diagreement they had re Sheldon sounds a lot like the one they had about Reed! Like a married couple! Oh, and Stella knows Mac so well, and she is the onlyone who can butt heads with him like that. And it sounds like in his own stubborn way, he was listening to her - he said he 'knows' about people not being able to turn off their emotions.:adore: I love, love, love how when they fight they both have a point. Stella's right to say people can't turn off their emotions, and Mac is right to say Hawkes probably shouldn't be working that case. I wonder if he's also concerned about Stella and the Diakos case, he knows how emotionally involved she is, and I suspect that he has an inkling she
may be planning to go after Diakos on her own again.
We know Mac knows Stella as well as she knows him, so I wouldn't be surprised if he does suspect this.
Mac and Stella butting heads makes me think of Gil and Cath butting heads (didn't she slap him once?!) and after 9 years Gil and Cath still have a wonderful relationship that I enjoy watching even after Gil got with Sarah. And Mac and Stella have the best relationship out of all 3 CSIs. No amount of catfights and head-butting can defeat the awesome power of Smacked! All they do is = passion, Mac and Stella being hurt/upset and thus realizing they need and love each other, and *hint, hint, EP* MAKE UP SCENES!!!!
There were cracks in Danny and Lindsay's relationship last season (a lot bigger than any in Mac and Stella's relationship now, too!), they sort of butted heads a little, disagreeing about Danny's behaviour after Ruben was killed, and what their relationship was, and now look where they are! I'm betting that baby is the product of a D/L make up scene we never saw! And no cracks can ever destroy Mac and Stella And EP may be evil, but they're not completely stupid. They know Mac and Stella's relationship is very attractive to many, many fans, even ones who just like them as friends/colleagues and are not Smacked. Melina and Gary apparantly love Mac and Stella's relationship too, no matter whether they think their characters will ever become romantically involved. So there's no way they'd want to lose that. :bolian: Methinks EP are just playing with us, like they played with the D/L fans last season. They are making it up to us with little Smacked scenes, and who knows, in the later half of the season, say 5.16/17 we may get some big ones, like in RND and Taxi in s4.
No real make-up scene this ep it seems, but hopefully as Debbie said earlier, we will get that later this season!
I love that Sid asked them both if they had plans, as though he expected them to have plans together.:adore:
Here's hoping for more Smacked in the future! I am certain they will eventually come together again to face the many problems they are/will be facing this season. We have Diakos, Ella, that missing memory stick, Adam's job still on the line because of budget cuts...Marine Mac and Rambo Stella will join together to fight some/all of these, because they are much stronger together than alone. When they do things alone, they get in trouble - Mac got in trouble with Joe, with Dobson, with Drew, Stella is getting in trouble with Diakos. When they are together, no one can defeat them!
Both Mac and Stella seem to be acting OOC in hiding their feelings/caring for each other/ what they're doing on cases (Diakos) from each other...perhaps because finally they're beginning to realize they love each other, but are scared to admit it, so are trying to hide their feelings from each other. If that's the case, we need something big to happen to force them to admit it, and with all the bad things happening to the team this season (poor team!) I am sure they will.
I really, really, want a make-up scene soon, though. All this conflict/catfights/butting of heads is interesting, and I understand the need for it, but I want some sweet Mac and Stella conversations and bonding too! Yes, real relationships have conflict, and Mac and Stella's relationship is very realistic. But real relationships also have make-ups, and bonding too (bonding....Mac...Stella....handcuffs:devil:, ummmmm....wait, guys, let me climb out the gutter for a sec....*gets out*) So I'm beginning to feel more hopeful about this season now. As we've talked about it lately on here, I think we've seen there are Smacked scenes around no matter what EP want us to think. I think this proves Debbie's point about characters taking on their own lives outside of EP's writing.
I have worked out that 5.12 will show here March 28th. I can't wait! Looking forward to 5.02 this Saturday too.
I want a greek man episode where Stella will be in danger. Mac and the team save her and Mac is cool. But after some minute he go out and look his hand aspen. He moves his hand and hide it in his pocket before. Before returning to see Stella. I want to see him try to hide Stella he scared for her.
We know that writer will not give us something big this season. But If Mac try to hide her that it'll be because he'll not afraid about "a friend" and will not accept that for now. He'll know what happen and control his feeling. So it'll be a scene like I aspen but only because she's a friend, she's my best friend...But...
Hi, guys.
As we didn't get our reunion scene in Veritas, I wrote a Mac/Stella story set after that episode. It's over on the fanfic thread if you would like to read it. It is called 'Apologies'. If you do read it, I hope you enjoy it.
Debbie,
Totally agreed with all your points. Hope we are heading that direction. Here are some scenes I loved.
- when the team discussed the case in the conference room. Mac simply said "Stell!" and she answered "I here you, Mac". No other words needed, they could read the other's mind. :adore: :adore:
- when Mac told Stella don't defend. I could see Stella's sadness in her eyes. They both understood what Hawkes felt. Stella wanted to try although the evidence was circumstantial. Mac wanted to help too but he needed to nail the guy without any doubt.
- I looove how Sid say "you two have any plan?" It sounded like they usually have plans after work. :adore: :adore:
- the scene with Mac and Stella stood in the subway while Sid buying coffee was simply adorable. I mean without Sid in the picture.
And I love Rambo Stella soo soo much! I know Stella is trained and strong but it hurts me to see some guy using full strength to hit her. She deserved to be cherish and loved by someone and we have one doesn't we?
Damn, Stella kicks ass! I think that anyone who tries to cross her will have to think twice... but I would have loves to have seen a scene where Mac faces the culprit in the interrogation room about attacking her. Maybe it was edited out... *pokes TPTB*
Though the scene where Mac talks about fate is giving me food for thought. I think he may have been hinting something to her but Sid interrupted before she could catch on. But I did love when they were sitting side by side in the subway... by the way, is it just me, or did Stella attempt to touch Mac?
Hello family. Hope you're all keeping well. *Hugs you all*
Well, overall, I thought it was a great ep, one of my favourites of the season. We got some very cute Smacked scenes, which made me happy. Hehe, I especially loved the scene it at the end... It looked like they were leaving together... I also loved it when Sid asked "Have you two got plans?" Maybe that was a hint at more to come..? Here's hoping. The scene when Sid bought them coffee and they listened to music was so cute... They looked like a real couple... :adore: I'd have loved to have feel Stella put her arm around Mac, like she did with Sid... :adore:
Well, as for Rambo Stella, loved that scene!! Although, when she took out her gun and shot him, it kinda reminded me of Frankie... The whole storyline, but maybe that's just me... Karu, I'd also have to loved to have seen a scene with Mac interrogating the perp about why he attacked Stella, that would have been so awesome. I can imagine that Mac would have been very angry... Well, like I said, overall I liked the ep... Hope that it's a hint of what's to come, with more cute Smacked scenes... :adore:
