Hello, Smacked family!
Hi Family, hope you're all keeping well, sorry for not being around much, and for being snippy when I was around... I was under a whole lot of stress the past week... My Grandpa had a stroke on Sunday, and was in hospital, so obviously I was worried about him, but thankfully, he's ok and got home today... So once again, sorry for being snippy over the past week... *Hugs you all.*
I'm glad your gramps is ok.
I hadn't noticed you were snippy at all actually, so no worries.
Hello family! Hope everyone has a great weekend.
So I finally watched Right Next Door from beginning to end. I saw the look of concern on Mac's face when he told her to go home and even more so when her apartment caught on fire. When he came in and brought her coffee I saw her hug him and give him a kiss on the cheek (I had to rewind it to make sure that I saw it)
So here is my conclusion, she NEEDS to jump him already, what the hell is she waiting for?
I know. And given the way he was with her in that episode, and others, he needs to jump her too. One thing I love about Smacked though is that though they
need to jump each other, their relationship goes so much deeper than that. They would take it slowly, I think, both because he's her boss (but really only officially, in every other way they are like equal partners) and also because both have been hurt in the past with relationships. Them taking it slowly is a reason why I think Smacked could work on the show, because although we already have D/L as an 'inside the lab' relationship, that has moved very fast - they're already having a baby! So Smacked would make an interesting contrast to that.

Come on TPTB! That's beyond fiction, that's almost like science fiction already! SO unless CSI:NY is science-fiction, or unless Mac is gay (ha! sorry ), i can't see ANY REASON why Mac and Stella are not togheter already!
:guffaw:This was a good one!:guffaw: Could you imagine Mac getting our of the closet saying "I'm sorry Stella. I can't love you because i am already in love with Flack. I love his blue eyes as much i love his ties":lol:
:lol::lol::lol::lol: And then we find out Stella is in love with Angell, or Sam:lol::lol::lol:
I'm glad we share the same feelings about this. Producers and writers don't seem to understand the bond between Mac and Stella is stronger than any scene they could write. For years i have said that characters, once a tv show is produced and is aired, get their own identity and they stop being only one producer's idea to become part of the audience too. They come to live in our homes. They belong to us too. The chemistry and special relationship between them is stronger than anything they could create for Mac and Stella. For that reason i think All She- Nits and He- Nits look so OOC
I agree about that too. It is the reason why fans of the show have so many different opinions about the characters, their actions, their relationships. NY is in my opinion the best of all 3 CSIs in terms of both character development and the sense of family we have with the team.
I also feel that Mac, Stella, Danny, Hawkes, Lindsay, Sid and Adam belong to me, I have to remind myself sometimes they are just characters and not real people. And Smacked has definitely got a life of it's own beyond the writers and producers.
She said she NEVER allow guy at her place. Never! But Mac was the exception!
I never thought of that. Letting Mac be the one to investigate the place where the most horrible thing happened to her, and which is her private space, really shows how much she trusts him.
Aww, I remember People With Money, that's a cute ep, but like you Shell, I was wishing that it was Stella who had been doing the experiment with Mac's tie, we all know that she loves playing with it. :adore: Hehe, aww, but that would have made for such a cute little scene... Oh and as for the ring, well if Mac had given Stella a ring, I think I'd have passed out from shock... :lol: That would also make an awesome scene, I'd love to see Mac propose to her. :adore: *Day dreams*
Aww, that would be adorable. :adore: We know he's quite the romantic - he proposed to Claire on a building that looked out at the Chrysler building, didn't he? Or was it actually the Chrysler building?
Oh, I loved that line as well DetHiggins. :adore: And like you, I'd have loved to have seen Mac wake up with Stella, but I'm also all for things going slowly between them... Well, we had Veritas airing tonight. I love the ep, but there wasn't much Smacked, but I can't complain too much, cause we had Stella wanting to take him to hospital in the helicopter... :devil: I bet he'd have loved Nurse Stella... But you know, I felt sorry for him, he couldn't think straight after a bash to the head... He was kind of out of it. But I loved his speech when they got Ethan at the end. Kick ass Mac. :lol:
He really did seem out of it.
Watching it, I noticed we really did get some nice Smacked moments despite them not being together for most of the ep.
-Stella is the one in the helicopter looking for Mac, and she seems worried.
-Stella is the first person Mac calls, and on Lauren's cell, so he must have her number memorized.
-Stella can't wait to get to Mac, she was very firm with the pilot, she was practically saying 'Get me to Mac NOW!'
-The hospital talk.
-Mac keeps looking at Stella when they are talking with Flack about Joe.
-When Adam goes to Flack about the car Joe used being registered to Sam, Flack asks 'Have you told
Mac and Stella yet' Not just 'Mac' but 'Mac and Stella' - they are one to Flack. And to Adam who says 'I'm going to have to tell 'em' meaning 'them' - Mac and Stella. It
could have been ''im' meaning just Mac, but it definitely sounded like ' 'em' meaning Mac and Stella.
-After she almost falls off the building, Stella whips out her cell. Now if Stella was the first one Mac called after almost drowning, I wonder whether he was the first one she called after almost falling off the building.
-When Stella is talking to Hawkes about getting the trace on Mac's phone, her eyes are on Mac a lot of the time.
-Mac and Stella work together to catch Joe at the train station.
-Mac tells Joe he is being arrested 'most off all for pissing me off'. Mac has been attacked by criminals before and threatened/taunted by them, but he never seemed as mad as he did with Joe. Even earlier in the ep, he seemed more determined to catch Joe than pissed at him. I think Joe almost killing Stella is what pissed Mac off the most.
With a hug at the end this time, not just a handshake. I love their catfights too, though I also love the tender, caring moments between them as in RND. Oh, and we still haven't had our Smacked cheek-kiss yet. We got one in s1, one in s3, and one in s4! (Till Death Do Us Part,What Schemes May Come, and RND) It would be nice if Mac did the cheek-kiss this time. A lips-kiss would be even better, of course!:drool:
