It certainly seems Jesse is the focus of most of these spoilers, but I'm not sure he's the focus of the episodes. Still...Before I was a bit more open minded, but now I'm more worried.
It appeals to me that Jesse isn't a complete rookie, but I still don't think he can just swoop into such an attention grabbing role. He may have been a figure in the team's past, but to the audience he is new, and besides...Ryan has been ON the team for the past 4 seasons, he should be the one taking advantage of any additional plots or screen time, and I feel he should adopt Eric's place if Eric leaves for any period of time, because he is closer to the team and to us, the audience.
I think a lot of tptb feel the need to open up a new character like a book right away, even if it means not using any of the facts they give us about them (Ryan's OCD and family, for example).
EDIT: And please no more romances! Yeesh.
Let's 86 the romances for awhile and stick to getting back to basics; solving cases and lab work.
There are a few things that the writers could do with Jesse that wouldn't make me too happy:
1. Make him single and make him think he is God's gift to women. That type of man leaves me cold. Keep him away from Calleigh, Natalia, Maxine, etc., etc.
2. Make him Super-Jesse CSI supreme, showing up the more senior CSI's. Let him struggle a little while he adjusts to a new city and new crew. Newbie prank, anyone?
3. If this is truly Adam's swan song (here's hoping NOT) having Jesse leapfrog over Ryan to alpha male, giving first dibbs on the quality and quantity character development and screen time.
If these happen I could be so frustrated, I would be as bald as Frank, pulling out all my hair
Frankly, IMHO, they should have not hired EC, and used his salary to booster Adam's to keep in the fold (if he IS leaving and money IS the issue)
Actually, it's Ryan's humor & personality that makes him appealing to my eyes, & viewing Jesse's asscrack & chest doesn't show me neither of those.
Even though they'll tell us that Jesse has a history with the team, I will likely still always look at Ryan as being there "first", along with the others
Not even close to jealous.Ryan has a killer smile and beautiful eyes.Great sense of humor too .He's able to take hard knocks with the best of them.Plus he's quite pleasing to the eye.I really don't care if he doesn't take off his shirt.He doesnt need to show his chest or asscrack.
That is why I love this forum; you guys think of things that I don't remember but I agree with too:thumbsup:
Ryan's eyes, smile and sense of humor keep me coming back for more. Besides, IMO, the shirtless things strikes me as being sort of gimmicky. At least when Eric's shirt was off, it was for a legitimate reason (getting out of the shower)
Also, they haven't said Adam was quitting or whatever. Maybe he just needs time off this season. There was no say on whether or not he was gone for good, was there?
Again until I hear officially he is gone, he isn't gone.
