Hello, I’m new to the forum, actually shouldn’t even be posting right now as my thesis won’t write itself
but I simply loved that topic and thought I will add some comments
Starting from Adam – I agree, he will be more of an uncle, a great friend than the parent, so his children really need a reasonable and a bit strict mum – I mean, it’s great if your father is cool, not boring constantly about homework, coming home late and so on but children really need some rules to feel safe – and I don’t think Adam would be able to stick to rules himself, let alone make his children obey them :lol:
So, writers, find him a down-to-earth wife and it will be a happy family life
Flack – hmm, he comes from quite a traditional family so probably a bit strict and overprotective (as said before, enough to see the way he treats Danny :lol
but cool anyway. I can well imagine him playing cops and bandits with his children, but when it comes to watching horror movies – like Spielberg’s Poltergeist, quite an innocent one for me – I think it will be Flack’s wife and children in front of tv, watching eagerly and Don on the couch, hid under the cushions, trembling :guffaw:
Danny – after what happened to Ruben he will be definitely overprotective and strict when it comes to going out late etc, probably jealous about his kids’ abilities but definitely a good father. I’m not really sure what we know about his family, except for Louie of course, but rather don’t think his childhood was a happy one, so he would do all he can to be a good parent for his children
Lindsay – I’m not as harsh with her as many people so I think she would be a good mother. She feels awkward with children now but I think it’s quite common among people who don’t have their own children (I’m not very good with kids either, hope that doesn’t make me selfish). I definitely see her as overprotective too, because of what she experienced and probably she would have high expectations for her kids, as she is pretty ambitious
If we're talking about ambitions, I think Hawkes would be that kind of father – his kids would have to be smarter than others, reading, writing, counting, multiplying, who knows what else way before going to school. But he'd be great with them definitely – as he got on great with that little girl in Grand Murder, and that scene where he was fixing her teddy bear was very telling – so, writers – find Hawkes a nice girlfriend soon so he can prove himself (much as I’d like to see him being with Danny, kids would be problematic then :lol
Stella – well, at the beginning she struck me as a person not very good with others, like in American Dreamers or Rain – she wasn't dealing with children exactly, but still couldn’t sympathize at all with parents. Fortunately, writers soon decided how they wanted to develop her character and On the Job really showed that she would be a great mother. She really cared about that girl and was furious (no wonder) with her parents, also in RND was very kind to Austin, if I remember the name correctly, and awfully shaken when she realized she could have helped him much earlier.
Stella’s childhood is also important – she might have problems with showing her feelings sometimes because she was brought up in foster families but definitely would try very hard (like Danny) so that her children could be happy.
And now finally Mac
strict, and it sure will be home with many rules... I think he'd be good with children as he was with that kid in Necrophilia Americana but definitely needs to learn a lot about their imagination, games, that kind of things – not to be surprised as in that episode that a kid confused fiction with real life :lol: I personally would love to see Mac with kids, it will be interesting to see him relax a little bit :lol:
And just a few final remarks, please don’t kill me for the length of that post
Although I lost interest in any ships, after seeing how the writers screwed up D/L story, and anyway don't think they would go that far, it's crime series not Full House it would be fun to see Mac and Stella’s kids – I really wonder how they games would look like if their (hypothetical) parents spent the season 3 final running frantically with guns, setting clever bombs, causing huge explosions and generally playing hide-and-seek with mobsters :lol:
Generally I think that all CSI children would rule in the neighbourhood, be leaders of all games because they have parents with such great jobs
I guess Adam or Danny would occasionally bring them empty shells or something to play with, which of course would make the children look even cooler among others :lol:
EDIT almost forget: Hawkes sure would put some board in his kids' playroom (maybe similar to the one he used in Admissions
) so they can practise chemical equations :guffaw:
