Oh sorry ...I will try again.....We tune into show to be entertained IMO. So slow and to preditable build-ups and insuffecient pay-off ruins a show for me. But from a writers pov. you need diversity and perhaps run out of ideas. Who knows. So using different build-ups and so forth happens.
I was looking for your opinion on slow storylines. Reason for happening and viewers reaction. Oh and in your opinion should a show surprise and do odd storylines and buildt-ups once in a while . Or play safe and ruotine(?): The conclusion of murder being twisted as allways but the road to get there samo - samo
I think build up is a good thing, but it should still be exciting and feel fresh. It's a challenge, for sure, especially after a show has been going for five seasons--or seven or nine, in the case of the other two CSI shows. I'm sure there's pressure to try new things--after all, the writers want to keep the show feeling fresh. Some experiments work, others don't. And of course, different viewers have different tastes--what works for one viewer might not work for another.
They definitely can't and shouldn't play it safe, but a lot of what we've seen so far this season feels a bit safe--the second episode saw a killer with a vendetta going up against Mac, which we've seen before. Here we've got a deranged serial killer--also something we've seen before. At the end of the day, after five, seven, nine years on the air... people want to see character-driven stories as much as they want inventive mysteries. With so many procedurals on the air,
the characters are ultimately what distinguish each of the shows, and what inspire loyal fans.
All just my two cents.
But at the end of the day, shows need a combination of good characters stories and compelling plots to thrive.[/QUOTE]
Great point --hopefully You will let me quote that sometime-----
But as franchise....are they betting on the loyal viewers or the avarage ones.....Let´s say: Stella dyeing her hair blond or sleeping with Adam.
You would have a part of fan base going - "she would never do that. That is so out of character" and perhaps from an avarage viewer pov.- "Wow- didn´t see that comming....Wow they
did go there". Or as per. this debat... correct timelines not important in favor of working storyline.
And per. this debat....having show interchanging between "easy" murdermystery build -up vs. more focus on characerbehaviour? Using a super murderstoryline at the same time you have huge characterstorylines would seem - perhaps overkill in one episode- and leave next episode in limbo
