i'd like to see all these people backa s well except i wouldn't want to see Rikki come back..... alright maybe Rikki if only the writers can make it interesting and not soo dramatic.
My worry with bringing Rikki back is that they'd just screw up her character for the sake of some ridiculous 'drama'. Like having her suddenly go nutso and try to kill Danny's kid in revenge or something. If they can't do it right, I'd rather they not do it at all. She had an exit, and I'd prefer if they left it at that rather than ruining her character for no good reason.
But I'd really like for them to find a
good way to bring her back. Logically, Danny finding out about Lindsay being pregnant should have been a good time to bring the whole Ruben storyline back to the forefront. I think it would have been interesting to see Danny run into Rikki and for him to have to deal with his internal struggle over feeling responsible for Ruben's death and how everything ties in with his impending fatherhood - and maybe even having him tell her that he's going to be a father so we could see her reaction.
I wouldn't want it to be all good or all bad - maybe she'd tell him she was happy for him (and I'm sure she would be because she
did tell him he's a good man and she claimed not to blame him for what happened to Ruben), but they'd have to show that the idea of someone having a child would hurt. I think Jacqueline did a really good job as Rikki, and between her and Carmine, I think there could have been an excellent scene to kind of show the different layers to her reaction to his news - and the different layers of Danny's own reaction and how he feels telling
her, of all people, about being a father.
But instead, they retconned the whole situation with Rikki for convenience's sake and said the Ruben story was 'over'. What a missed opportunity. *sigh*
i always wish that Vanessa Ferlito didn't leave NY, she was so awesome playing Aiden. Aiden is still one of my all time fave tv characters even if she was only on for one season.
I loved Aiden too - well, technically I wasn't a huge fan of Aiden
or Danny when I first started watching CSI:NY, but they grew on me. I hate that she left, but I
really hate that they killed her off. Now the only reasonable way to bring her back is through flashbacks or hallucinations (ugh, please don't!) - I have to say, I'd like to see flashbacks, and one reason that would be cool is that we could see Aiden (and perhaps some of the other S1 characters) again without jumping the shark.
Dr. Giles was a cool guy but then there wouldn't be Adam.
Nah - the other shows have had multiple lab people, so I don't know why they couldn't have someone like Dr Giles come in every so often to work on a case. I wouldn't want
too many lab people, but I think having another person (or a few recurring people that rotate) would work out if they did it right.
If they'd do more two-case episodes (which is funny since we used to complain that all they
did were two-case episodes
), having Dr Giles on one case while Adam is working the other would be fine. Or having them both work the same case would be fine as well - I'm all about quality over quantity. I'd rather see Adam in a few good scenes than in twice as many scenes without making any kind of impact.
isn't the guy that played Vicaro now on Miami as that bad guy H keeps going after lately? (can't remember the character's name).
Yeah, Kim Coates is playing Ron Saris over on Miami - which just reminds me how hilarious Vicaro was in his one-and-only episode. :lol: Every time I see him on Miami, I'm like, 'Kim, go back to NY!'
"Hush" is one of the episodes that I still quote to this day. I'd love to see him come back and maybe the fans who watched S1 can get a bit of a nod if Danny is like, 'Geez, you again?' :lol:
Dr.Zao was awesome he totally needs to come back i mean Sid can't be doing all the work all the time.
Exactly. I mean, if it comes down to episodes where the coroner only gets one scene (like last week), it's Sid all the way - but if (as I said above) they'd do more two-case episodes or just more episodes that have a lot of morgue scenes, Sid could definitely use some help.
We never got scenes of two detectives working together until Angell and Flack started working together (which is a whole different discussion, but I digress) - so it's about time we got some scenes with two coroners working together. Sid and Hawkes are always fun when they have scenes, so it could be cool to see two current MEs at the same time. (We might have gotten something like this when Peyton was on the show, but I can't remember...Oh, didn't they flip a coin over the mummy in "Not What it Looks Like" or something? - see, stuff like that was fun!
)
i watched "Admissions" the other night and wondered what it would be like if Gerrard was shown again just to see his outcome. sure we know he went to jail but i was wondering what he sentence was and all.
It's disappointing when they start interesting stories and then they fall into the Black Hole of Continuity, never to be heard from again. My only worry with Gerrard is that it might be too long of a gap for it to make sense to bring him back. *sigh* They shouldn't let things drop for so long. Incidental characters like Vicaro and Giles could come back with little fanfare, but with someone like Gerrard, it would have to be a bit of a big deal...
oh what about Jane? i really really liked her and Mac together and she seemed to have a lot of potential as a good recurring character.
I liked her well enough - if they brought her back, I'd be interested to see how it went. She's a more incidental character (like Giles and Vicaro), so it wouldn't be too difficult to re-introduce her.
And then she and Travers from Miami could have a battle to see who is the better British lab tech - Travers might win, but only because he's so darn cute.
and where's Kendall? i liked her i want her back a lot too she was a good character.
Eh, I wasn't impressed with Kendall - and I was so excited about her before she came! When I first saw that we were getting a new lab tech - and one for Adam to flirt with, no less - I was enthusiastic about her. I was hoping for someone like Garcia on Criminal Minds: cute, smart, quirky and just downright awesome (not unlike Adam, actually
). But then Kendall came and it was like...snobby lab Barbie, IMO. I've seen Bess Wohl on other shows and liked her, but I just couldn't get into Kendall as a character.
Now, with that being said, she was only in like 3 episodes - so if they brought her back and fleshed out her character, I might grow to love her. But she couldn't keep teasing poor Adam - that's just not fair. The boy needs some lovin'.
it seems like NY has a lot of people that would be cool to see come back. they dropped their supporting characters like flies once they moved to the new lab!!!
I know! They have had enough recurring characters that they could show them once or twice a season and create a much more...established feel to the lab. As it is, everybody but our core cast comes and goes - and never comes back. It might be nice if we saw Detective Scagnetti once or twice a year, or if Chad popped up in a scene every once in a while.
Budget-wise, this might not be feasible, but a girl can dream.
Another character I'd like to see come back for a few episodes is Quinn Shelby - I know she's a bit of a polarizing character, but Kristen Dalton was really good, and I liked her chemistry with the rest of the cast. I also liked the complexity of her relationship with Mac and how their history affected their interaction. It's always nice when Mac has something personal affect him instead of it always being about some politician pissing him off. Internal conflict can be just as good.
That's not to say I'd want her to return as a romantic interest - although I don't think I would be opposed to it if it was done correctly. (Although, let's be honest, I'm never going to be 100% on-board with any romantic relationships on this show because I never trust that they aren't going to screw it up. :lol
