Re: Natalia Boa Vista #1- New. Cool. Attitude
I was lukewarm about Natalia originally, however, Eva LaRue is so damn nice (she actually hangs out with her net fans - how cool is that!) that she's sold me on the whole Natalia thing.
And I mean sold partially, actually. We still don't know what the deal with Natalia is. The original spoilers painted her as a bit of a bitch, but we've seen none of that so far. She's been nice to the other characters and tries to help out as much as she can. Originally, she was supposed to be kinda greedy and cold, but it seems they've changed it. Now when she tells them she can't help them it's because she literally can't, not because she won't.
Also, my best friend in high school was named Natalia, so I take that as a shout out to MEEEEEEEEEE!!
However, and I'll maintain this until the day I die, she's
completely wasted as a DNA analyst. I still don't know what the writers were thinking. If they want Natalia to be a main character, I cannot fathom why they would make her a DNA analyst, seeing as this show is about CSIs. And yes, Greg was an analyst with star billing, but they quickly remedied that by making him a CSI. Why? You can't give an analyst too much screen time, seeing as all they do all day is process samples. And that's not too exciting. So I wonder how they're going to remedy this. Increase the screen time around the lab? Hardly Miami's signature. They're all about explosions and such. So how will they give Eva the screen time a person with star billing deserves?
I really, really, really wish they'd made her a CSI. She could've transferred from another lab with a high ranking and work alongside Horatio. Also, the Miami teem is desperate for a leader, and Eva has that strong presence that totally would've conveyed that leadership feeling. She seems really strong and authoritative. What a shame.
This is basically going to turn out into another Milos fiasco. If Natalia remains an analyst, I can't see how they'll be able to give her too much screen time, which might prompt the producers to get bored with her and dump her (like they did with Sofia) or Eva will simply walk. Think before you act, writers. Think before you act!

Hmm...I just had a thought...isn't H suppose to feel responsible for the death of a "love" insterest this season. Maybe Natalia won't be around that long...
Yeah, but Horatio's corpse bride is actually called
Rachel Turner.
