woot woot! You is back!OK. Wow. Been awhile.
That's a pity as I thought s8 was a definite improvement over s7. Although I can completely understand drifting away after s6 and the inconsistent quality of s7.Elwood21 said:Growing ambivalence had me miss most of S8 NY. Got caught up in other shows, and it just never seemed to be one to DVR. While I popped in here mostly out of curiosity to see if my account still existed in the realm, I have been perusing what there is that might help fill me in on the Most Significant Events of the last year.
Nope, I don't think you did. At least, if there were any, I missed them too...Elwood21 said:Part of what I was poking about for on the NY Boards, to get a better sense of Season 8, and the reception various cases & stories stories received, were End-Of-Season polls that used to be fairly typical; those of Favorite and Least Favorite episodes, that sort of thing. ...was anything like that done for S8? Did I miss the obvious? (...again? )
Oh that is SO unfortunate! Because they actually did pretty well toning down DL this past season, and overall I wasn't even close to as annoyed or felt bombarded with it as before. I'm guessing the scene you saw was when they were in the park and Danny jumped at the "snake" Lindsey tricked him into thinking was at his feet and the whole city-boy/country-girl comments accompanying it? Yeah, one of the few true DL moments of the season, and you happened to catch it right then.... I'm sorry. The season really is an improvement, I promiseElwood21 said:I have no idea if I'll be tuning in this season or not. I happened by an ep back in mid-season range, and was immediately faced with a Montana reference & DL exchange that was not about seeming case related details but definitely about DL. I think I managed an odd blink/laugh/twitch combo and clicked to something else. I guess I need more counselling to help me continue saturation-detox and knee-jerk reaction . All told I thought I did quite well.
*sigh* Oh I know. But then, when have the spoilers not centered around DL....Elwood21 said:Not in the least ironic, of course, that among the first things I'd come across here are the images of Lucy ver.9.0. Nope. Not ironic at all. Not in the least. Ferchrissakes :lol:. Whaddayado.
(All just IMO folks. Enjoy what you will ).
Hey, if you want I can give you a summarized run down from ep 1 to the finale in a pm or something School doesn't start for over a week yet :lol:Elwood21 said:In the event I do tune in, it would be good to know what's happened. If I'm honest, I suppose hearing about what S8 featured is also probably a guage that might influence potential interest in S9, in addition to the spoiler tidbits that are now out in the ether.
Agreed. Agreed. And agreed. Although with Mac I would have preferred if they hadn't gone with something as fanfic cliche and medically improbable as memory loss.... I can think of a lot of other lasting complications that would be more realistic and still impact his ability on the job. But what do I know... I'm just a medical professional and they're the real expertsElwood21 said:From what I gather of S9 so far: Glad Flack's family is being created in more depth, glad Adam's getting some focus, I won't say I'm glad to see characters injured cos that's kinda crass, but glad it sounds like residual effects for Mac may be an issue; it's a dramatic route they ignored completely with Messer's 10%.
Elwood21 said:Beyond Rob Morrow, I haven't heard specific Names being cast. Anything new there? (I suppose I missed those obvious details too).[.quote]
Peter Horton is going to play an FBI agent. Neal McDonough is going to play a Senator who gets shot at. And Brooklyn Silzer is going to be Lucy this season. And I think that's it. Nothing terribly major.
Cordial Greetings to you too! Go enjoy your coffee and hopefully I'll see you around at least a little this seasonElwood21 said:Anyhoo. It's been entertaining as usual to sift thru the various spoiler threads, as the seemingly most exepedient method of coding together events (and heartening to see names I still recognize ).
I think I should just go get (more) coffee, and then I'll be better equipped to answer my own damn questions. Beyond that, Cordial Greetings to anyone who might against odds recall this slacking member
