**Season Nine Spoiler Lab**

I really don't care much either way about Lady Gaga. I just think that casting someone like her reeks of a show desperate for ratings.

Yeah. I'm not thrilled with the Horatio/Delko team again. Horatio has come a long way since season 6 in finding his way back to who he once was. Teaming him with Delko brings out the worst in Horatio.

I actually like Joe LeBrock. I thought he was one of the more interesting villians on the show with some real potential. Maybe it's because I enjoyed the storyline in which he appeared.

Meemo I can't say I'm thrilled about. His re-appearance will force a storyline that was one of the worst (Horatio/Marisol) to again be visited. It wasn't pleasant the first time and we're being forced to sit through it again.

Old, repetitve and boring. Nothing original here.

 

You know, I just don't understand why TPTB are beating the whole H/Marisol thing like a dead horse. It seems to me, having been a fan of the show from day one, that this storyline was not only not popular, but actually vocally disliked by many fans (again, speaking from my experience on the boards).

Can someone tell me why they won't go back to the more fascinating storyline of Horatio's childhood? That was dropped in Season 4 right around the time Marisol showed up, w/TPTB thinking that the storyline of his mother's murder was too "dark". I found that to be the most intriguing of all the storylines - I was like, "H killed his dad?!? Wow!" - and then they just dropped it completely for a lame "no-mance". WTF?

I want more character depth, not constant reminders of a shallow plot that was incredibly awkward and has been played out ad naseam over the last four years.

And the "bro-mance" - I liked it better when H was a father-figure to Delko, and would actually correct him when he was wrong. I much prefer that to what H does now - always covering for Delko and easily letting him slide back into the team. I don't like playing favorites, and it's not fair to the rest of the team.

 

I fully support having LG on the show. In fact, I have the perfect episode for her:

MIAMI, Dolphin Stadium--A baseball game between the New York Mets and Florida Marlins nears the 7th inning stretch. The traditional "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" being sung by Don Johnson is interrupted when washed up, untalented pop "star" Lady Gag-a jumps from her seat, wearing a studded bikini she made with her new Bedazzler, drunkenly spilling beer on nearby patrons, flipping off the paparazzi and littering the ballpark with f-bombs. Jerry Seinfeld escorts her to his luxury box (turns out he's a Marlins fan, too). But when her gal-pal Amy Wino stumbles into the box after the game to purge herself, she finds LG dead on the floor. Horatio and the team are called in to solve the case, which hinges on a bag of crack and a lone, partial fingerprint that is not in COTUS.

Suggested dialogue:

[standing over the body]
FRANK: Well, Horatio, looks like she got hit over the head pretty bad.
HORATIO: You know, Frank, there's more wood in this building than an old-growth forest...
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
-----
CALLEIGH: These wood fibers look like cedar.
ERIC: I love you.
CALLEIGH: But they've been treated with some kind of resin.
ERIC: Please don't leave me.
CALLEIGH: If we knew who used this resin compound...
ERIC: I won't have a story line without you.
CALLEIGH: O, shut up!
-----
RYAN: Ms. Winehouse, we need to ask you some questions.
WINO: Buuurp.
RYAN: Exactly when did you leave your seat?
WINO: mmmmmmmph!
RYAN: I'm sorry, I didn't understand that.
WINO: [passes out]

:guffaw:

 

Haha!!! Omg that was too funny. The calleigh and eric part I could not stop laughing. Lol

 

Triumph on CSI: Miami? OMG, that NEEDS to happen. :guffaw:

 

:guffaw: Very nice and very, very funny! I love your casting!

 

:guffaw: :guffaw: :guffaw: I literally can't stop laughing. This is great! I would pay to see this happen. :guffaw: :guffaw:

 

This is the best laugh I've had all day.

 

Funny how everyone's :guffaw: is :guffaw:'ing in unison.

I threw that in at the last minute. But I can see it as a possible ending to a show:

[after Calleigh has solved the case, Horatio joins her for a walk on the beach with her new SPCA adoptee]

HORATIO: Excellent work today, Ms. Duquesne.
TRIUMPH: Yess, and you took all de credit, Señor Horatio. Who are you, Kojak?
HORATIO: Calleigh, who is you new 4-legged friend here?
CALLEIGH: Oh, his name is Triumph. Like the band.
HORATIO: Your pet Triumph certainly has a salty tongue.
TRIUMPH: Hey Caine. That's a really nice Armani suit...for me to p00p on!
CALLEIGH: [swats dog] Bad dog!
TRIUMPH: ooo, you hurt me, probably what Eric wants too!!! But Lt. Caine. You have more Armani suits than the entire Miami/Dade PD. Did you make a deal with Don Johnson to buy his yacht and alligator too? I keed, I keed.

Although definitely not a fan of LG, her being a fan of the show just improved my opinion of her. Who knows, she may be a good actress. I was impressed with how well Taylor Swift performed on CSI last year. However, P. Diddy was only passable. It is a hit or miss proposition. But it could help the ratings.

I am looking forward to the two villians from the past. I thought they played their parts very well.

 

I think there is no point to worry or be happy about Lady Gaga's potential appearance on the show. It's just a gossip, we'll see if that happens at all. I'm not a fan of LG at all, but I think her performance could help with rating, so I'm for it rather than against. But with LG's hectic schedule I doubt she'll find time to shoot CSIM episode. I would like her to play someone different than she is. I liked Whitney in Bodyguard, but I think LG should not play a singer in the crime show, but for example victim.
PS bill_az well done! That's actually funny and fresh, but we know it will not happen(too original )

 

OMG, bill_az!! That was so funny!!:guffaw::guffaw::guffaw::lol::guffaw:. I think the interaction with Ryan and the wino was my favorite:thumbsup::guffaw:

 

:lol::guffaw::lol::guffaw:

You are my hero.

 

:guffaw::guffaw::guffaw: Again, you have me laughing my head off! :guffaw::guffaw::lol::lol:

 

I for one, don't want Lady GaGa on the show. Nothing against her personally, but this is a crime and forensics drama and I personally don't see her fitting into this type of show. They are just trying to get big names to boost ratings, but if the episode is not very good, then what's the point. I think it's a bad idea.

As for H and Eric working together again, now that Eric is back, I have to say I am surprised that some of you don't like them working together. That is one of my favorite parts of the show. I love the relationships that H has built with everyone on the team and I think the H/E duo is great at crime fighting. Eric looks up to H and H respects Eric and knows he can count on him. I like the bond they have established and am just glad Eric is back and that there is going to be lots of Team focus in Season 9.

I hope we can get some more spoilers pretty soon and it sure would be nice to see a preview of Season 9. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they show it after "All Fall Down" tomorrow night.
