Since lack of team interaction, character screentime, & development has been quite the issue lately, I decided to take notes this time & put it in tally form to actually show some numbers. I'm going to try & do this with every upcoming episode. We'll see how the numbers fluctuate, if at all. Just as a note: 'Individual' pertains to the character either alone or with suspects/victims, etc. Suggestions & comments are always welcome. ~~~~ 7.19 'Target Specific' Horatio: 11 total scenes Individual : 4 Interacted with: Eric - 2 Ryan-2 Natalia-1 Calleigh-1 Frank-1 ************ Calleigh: 8 total scenes Individual: 1 Interacted with: Eric - 4 Frank -1 Horatio-1 Travers-1 ************* Eric: 9 total scenes Individual: 2 Interacted with: Calleigh- 4 Horatio-2 Ryan-1 ************ Ryan: 6 total scenes Individual: 2 Interacted with: Horatio - 2 Eric- 1 Natalia- 1 *********** Natalia : 3 total scenes Individual: 1 Interacted with: Horatio- 1 Ryan - 1 *********** Frank: 3 total scenes Individual: 1 Interacted with: Horatio- 1 Calleigh- 1 ************ Tara: 0 3 or more teammembers: 0
Wow...Target Specific was supposed to be partially Ryan centered and he only showed up 6 times...that is really odd. I hope that next week when it's got his name in the title he gets more screen time. Thanks for sharing this mjszud!
Well, that's not out of my expectations. It's not this episode that supposed to be centered on Ryan, 7.20 will. And I can't wait
we should get more ryan next week. i am hoping so. i wonder where tara was this week. probably wasn't there cause nobody really died. anyway thanks for the count. and csifann1 i love your avatar
That's cool, I like this idea! But I don't think the count for next week will make sense/be equal, cause it's a personal/Ryan filled episode. But anyway, the writers can surprise us.
WOW. This one was much different, & a little hard to do because of all the flashbacks (which I didn't count). There was definitly a better mix in this one, but sadly it was only among 4 members of the entire team. :wtf: Epi 20 'Wolfe in Sheep's Clothing' Horatio: total scenes 11 Alone: 5 Interaction: Eric - 1 Ryan - 3 Frank - 1 Eric/Ryan combo - 1 Calleigh: total 11 scenes Alone: 1 Interaction: Ryan -3 Eric - 4 Eric/Ryan combo - 2 Tara/Ryan combo - 1 Eric: total 15 Alone: 4 Interaction: Ryan - 3 Horatio - 1 Calleigh - 4 Ryan/Calleigh combo - 2 Ryan/Horatio combo -1 Ryan: 19 total scenes Alone: 6 Interaction: Eric - 3 Calleigh - 3 Horatio - 3 Tara/Calleigh combo - 1 Eric/Calleigh combo - 2 Eric/Horatio combo - 1 Frank - 1 (with Horatio) Natalia - 1 (interacted with swabs ) Tara - 1 (with Cal/Ryan) **Kudos for having 4 total scenes of more than 3 characters**
This is interesting thread. I think you should have counted the flashbacks (the ones that were about Ryan).
Wow! Ryan had more scenes than Horatio? That is unusual... and that's not even counting the flashbacks of the torture scenes? I thought I saw Frank twice, but maybe it was just one scene that bleed into another or something. :lol: I wasn't too focused on everyone else. :lol: I was more focused on Ry.
They went back & forth too many times for me to keep track, & some of them were really quick flashes, so I felt it was a little pointless to take it into account....the quick flashes that is. It was one scene in the beginning with Horatio, & then they split it going back & forth to Ryan/Calleigh inside the office then back to H/Frank outside (I counted both of those as just one scene per C/R, H/F), then somewhere right after they snuck in Delko with Horatio, & poor Frank disappeared. This epi was much more complicated with all the back & forth scenes, & it was actually a good episode so there were times that I'd forget to jot marks down until the scene was half over.
Chip/Tuck Horatio: total 10 Individual: 4 Interaction: Frank - 2 Eric -1 Ryan -1 Stetler - 2 Calleigh: total 10 Individual: 1 Interaction: Frank- 2 Eric - 3 Ryan - 2 Dave - 1 Travers -1 Eric: total 9 Individual: 3 Interaction: Horatio- 1 Ryan - 1 Natalia -1 Calleigh- 3 Ryan: total 4 Individual: 0 Interaction: Eric- 1 Calleigh- 2 Horatio- 1 Natalia: total 1 Interaction: Eric- 1 Frank: total 4 Interaction: Horatio- 2 Calleigh- 2 Tara/Kyle: 1
Wow it's clear who the writers are favoring....:shifty: It would be nice to have the team aspect...like more than 1 or 2 in a scene a bit like Vegas and the meetings around the table in the lab.
Yeah, really! Just seeing the lack of screen time for Ryan/Natalia/Frank makes me sad and upset, espeically coming after an episode where we got 19 scenes of Ryan two weeks ago. I feel totally robbed! When did Miami become the Horatio/Eric/Calliegh hour? :shifty: I haven't seen the episode yet, but I heard it's interesting. Maybe I'll forget the fact that there is little Ryan eye-candy (I won't, but I'll do my best to attempt to ).
Aren't the numbers just sad?!?! I loved getting more Frank this time around, but geeez! the balance is still so far off. Authority, seniority - I don't care, it's still wrong, & it shouldn't be this way with an ensemble cast. Those faces are in the opening as main characters - we should be seeing that.
I agree!! I just hope this isn't a sign that things off screen are not pleasent. I would hate for people to start leaving again. I've already stated if Togo leaves, I will mourn and boycott Miami for like...three months!!
