Hiya Stellarinas 
catu, thanks for that link, Melina´s great as ever, and good luck for your exams :thumbsup:
Hallo, meine liebe udonna, well, you gotta talk to your boss, this is no way to not having loudspeakers in your office PC.
Thanks for the list, it´s funny and there´s the one or other thing in which I recognize myself, but I won´t tell ya which :lol:, and anyway there´s no need to feel old when you notice there´s more food than beer in the fridge.
Pleni, long time no see. You´re right that sometimes it makes one wonder if women on TV or movie are not allowed to be 40+. That´s why I was annoyed at first with Stella´s "new" age. But maybe there´s really a plausible thought behind it and it´s because Stella will have her baby at the end of the show .
I´ll keep my eyes open for this film, sometimes our TV-programmes show independent or not so commercial movies, so there´s hope that they might screen it one day.
OK, let Melina challenge me, then we´ll see if I´ll be convinced :lol:.
Yes, Melina put all she could into the script to fit into an episode, though it was basically a very personal eppy, she included the crime side of it, too, so it was stuffed with everything that fans would expect to see in such a show. But, of course, all has to be compressed, scenes cannot be acted out extendedly, little details have to be left out, because you just can´t pack it all in in 45 mins. That´s why I would have loved the eppy in film-lengths, but I know that´s just impossible, so I´m happy with what we´ve got and won´t complain about what was left out. But it´s true, you can´t please everybody, some want this, some want that, some want all or nothing. If authors would always listen to what others want, they wouldn´t get anywhere. I found it especially strange that the scenes with the improvised Mini-lab were criticised heavily by some, when I actually found it very original
And talking of celebrating rating numbers: Well, then it would have been our turn to celebrate, because GFD had more viewers than the season´s finale.
My dear Ghawazee, don´t waste your time and energy with such catfights, don´t get provoked by silly, bitchy comments, let them have their way and we have ours.

), but I´d love Mindy to come back and that Stella could tell her the great news that she found out who her Mum was. Except for Mac, there´s no-one else she can share this with which must be sometimes sad for Stella. They should write a story that involves Mindy, maybe she´d be involved in a crime and this time Stella is forced to arrest her, but still she won´t let her down but visit her in prison and catch up with everything she always wanted to tell her but never had the chance to.
My moods change constantly from positive to negative and vice versa, concerning if Melina will stay or not :lol:. Maybe I should just adopt your attitude and enjoy Stella as long as she will be in CSI:NY.
Yes, Adam is such a sweetie and I agree he still keeps the child inside of him alive and yet he is a mature adult, it was his way to survive and stay sane after all he went through. No wonder he loves Big Mama Stella and Big Daddy Mac, he´s got a lot to catch up :lol:.
I´ve got to watch it again, but I´m sure there was this tiny moment, this camera sequence where there was Stella´s back that seemed exposed to the gun, but anyway you´re right, she´s in the middle and most exposed of all. Flack is on her right, Mac on her left, then there are Danny and Lindsay and next to them must be Sid, Adam and Hawkes. If Mac would be hit, then we know he won´t die because recently Gary said he´s still happy to be in the show and has no ambitions to leave. Maybe Hawkes will do first aid and save the life of whoever will be shot.
Oh, yes, I guess, Melina does not only know her Stella veeeery, very well by now, but also us fans, Smacked or not :lol:. It was as if she cooked a meal with all sorts of spices for every taste, and it was absolutely delicious, thanks Melina, can I have some more :drool:?
Well, if it´s a matter of money, I´m sure that Melina won´t be bloody-minded and risk to lose her job by insisting on the annual salary increase, but would agree with a salary freeze until the economic situation improves. But we don´t know how serious the financial situation at CBS is, maybe it won´t be enough and they need to get rid of a main cast actor.
The problem is if I wanted to avoid a cliffhanger spoiler then I´d have to stay away from here until S6 begins :lol:, because I´m hopeless, I know, I won´t be able to resist to read it. So either TPTB for once will manage to keep a secret secret, or I´ll pick up the red phone.
. Of course, thanks to everyone who posts pics, please keep ´em coming :drool:.
Love and hugs to you all

I´ll keep my eyes open for this film, sometimes our TV-programmes show independent or not so commercial movies, so there´s hope that they might screen it one day.
You´re gonna be alright and will pass all exams, no doubt :thumbsup:.
:lol:Yes, and you were right, but now you see it´s also good to be a hard nut :lol:, as you´re enjoying their special friendship, too. Whatever´s going to happen, but it will certainly not be a step back; their special friendship has become now extra special or even extraordinary and keeps developing into....well, a relationship? We´ll see, but there´s no hurry, it´s great the way they act.
OK, let Melina challenge me, then we´ll see if I´ll be convinced :lol:.

Well, obviously you know much more about these catfights (and were even involved in some) and animosities among the different "fan clubs" as I will call them here than I do, because I can´t be bothered to wander through every single thread, let alone other forums due to a lack of time. Also, though I love discussions and debates I certainly hate catfights with narrow-minded and preoccupied people who don´t give a story any chance and dismiss it even before they´ve watched it. That is childish behaviour and so I believe you if you say they are not neutral, but decided to hate the episode only because they thought it would have romantic scenes between Stella and Mac which they would hate, so their logic was: this eppy will suck.But i need to say some of those "neutral" fans are NOT neutral. I have had some catfights with a couple of them (or more:lol: ) so i knew what they were going to vote no matter how good the episode was. Also i am afraid some of them have orchestrated a subliminal campaign. Not because of Melina of course but because they don't like the idea of Smacked. I have read them in other sites and i knew what they were going to vote since 2 months previous to 5.24. Other had access to certain "spoilers" they shouldn't have had so they started complaining about 5.24 long before it happened. Sorry, but i can't say they are neutral. Some of them are very concious the power they have on other fans because they do have a certain acid-humoristic style.
Certainly i preferred to stay away from the battle because if i would have said what i was really thinking maybe i should be banned from the forum and i don't want that. Certainly i don't expect to become them into Smacked fans. I would like they had given a fair treat instead of wasting their time (and my time) with bitchy comments. I have read how they celebrated rating numbers. I have had catfights and i have made reference to rating numbers in other places but I have never celebrated rating numbers. You can be sharp-tongue but not a harpy
And talking of celebrating rating numbers: Well, then it would have been our turn to celebrate, because GFD had more viewers than the season´s finale.
My dear Ghawazee, don´t waste your time and energy with such catfights, don´t get provoked by silly, bitchy comments, let them have their way and we have ours
.Well, that´s what cheers me up and makes me feel happy for Melina that she obviously touched a lot of hearts with this eppy, not only those of Smacked fans, but also those of the "truly" neutral fans who enjoyed the story
.Well, I suppose Stella doesn´t have any sisters or brothers (yes, she had some originally before they changed that :devil:
), but I´d love Mindy to come back and that Stella could tell her the great news that she found out who her Mum was.
