One of the biggest things that made me uncomfortable about last night wasn't the fact that they were screwing with Danny and Lindsay, or Danny was cheating on Lindsay, or anything like that, it was the way it was handled that pissed me off. Frankly, I'm happy that they're dispelling the D/L relationship for a while -- I'm hoping that maybe we can get some decent character development concerning Lindsay out of it, and her development won't only be through Danny anymore. I'm really not a fan of the Danny/Lindsay relationship in the way that they have taken things canon, and I'm really upset with the fact that a lot of great Lindsay moments -- especially the court scene in Montana last season -- were sacrificed in favor of being Danny/Lindsay moments, and that didn't sit right with me. Regardless, the fact that Danny was cheating on Lindsay wasn't what bothered me. It was the fact that Danny was cheating period.

I know that he's a guy. And I know that he's Danny, and when he's hurting it's get out of the way or get yourself hurt kind of situation, but still, the moment felt OOC to me if he was in a relationship. I've been reading some opinions, and they think there might have been some kind of miscommunication between Danny and Lindsay where Lindsay thought there was more than there was, and if that's the case, as soon as they clear that up, I'll feel a lot better about the Danny/Rikki situation. The issue I'm seeing is that when I'm looking at the character of Danny, I have a hard time seeing someone with his trust issues and relationship issues committing that kind of act willingly like he did. I get that he's hurting. and I get that he's trying to pull himself back together, and he's got all this guilt. I mean, I've been watching him for four years too, I know how he can come apart at the seams when things are coming apart for him, but I can't see it going that far, where he would deliberately hurt someone in that particular way. I can see him lashing out at them with words, I can see him not listening to what they're saying and shutting down to isolate himself, but I really can't see him cheating. I'm sorry. Maybe it just me wanting to believe the best in him, but I think he's too loyal for that. I mean, you saw how he reacted back in "On the Job" when he thought Flack and Mac weren't on his side and having his back, why would he do that to someone else? Maybe for a romantic relationship is different, but Danny's loyalties, once earned, always seemed to run deep for me. So this is me hoping that there was some kind of miscommunication between him and Lindsay, and she thought things were more than they were.

But that's just me.

Also, I'm kind of glad that Lindsay held herself together somewhat, and when it came down to confronting Danny she didn't get whiny and clingy like I expected her too, which for me was fantastic. Personally, I think she handled Danny's dismissal of her better than things could have gone. The first reaction was maybe a bit too much, but I think the monologue was pulled off rather well. But again, that's just me. You're welcome to dispute me if you like.

Yeah, I'm stealing that icon.

I think the D/L fangirls didn't realize that their ship could become extinct until last night. People tend to forget that while there are relationships in the show, they aren't set in stone, end-all-be-all relationships. And the D/L fangirls get a little too caught up in the ship and forget that it's a procedural drama, I think. Not all D/L fangirls are like that, and the ones that aren't are being more rational about last night's ep, but I think if TPTB try to make it seem like nothing happened they'll appease those guys but upset everyone else in the fandom.

I hope you do get soem time. I miss your fic with them. Would it be cool if we switch to them next in the round robin? I was going to suggest them next since we've ignored them for a while.

And yeah. I think that was the whole reason behind it, too. It's sad that a shirtless Carmine doesn't even interest me any more. Now a shirtless Eddie would have made me forgive (almost) any trangression he could make. But if he were to pull this on, say, Angell, then I'd have to make one of his pretty blue eyes a little black around the edge.

Yup yup.

Sure. I was going to suggest either them or Cassavelli and Adam. And after next week as should have so much more free time to do things, but at this point, I just don't have the time to sit and spend the time on it that I should.

Mmm -- shirtless Eddie. Or shirtless Hill (http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j314/Fay_11985/etc/Hillwiththedamntowel.jpg) for that matter, but I probably shouldn't hold my breath for that one. And I agree with you on Angell.

Understandable. You pick where we want to go when we get to that point...I'm game for either couple. I already made it clear to Rachel that if she wants more time with Jake I'll write fic. She's happy now.

Oh, we so need to petition for shirtless Hill. Wow. That pic is just...wow.

And yeah. I like the thing with Flack/Angell they've got going because it's not so filled with drama potential. It's just fun. And D/L was never really just fun, now that I think about it.

Awesome.

Yes. He is yummy. The day we get shirtless Hill, I will die a happy fangirl.

They are fun. And Danny and Lindsay had their moments early on, but after that it just got to be too much of the same. Speaking of Flack/Angell, I have community promotion to do...

You and me both. We got almost shirtless Hill, though, so there is hope. Also, we need shirtless AJ. We can't leave him out of that.

I think I already added the community to the advertising post at

csi_ny, so that's a start. I'll advertise on my journal as well since there's a few Flack/Angell fans on my FL.

Oh, definitely. I'm so excited that we've been seeing him more often lately. And some other things about other guest appearances he's going to be making.

Thanks. I'm gonna get to it eventually. I've just been swamped lately.

I can't wait for him on the 23rd. That's going to be so much fun. It's nice to see him as Adam, but he's got some other good characters that he's played, too.

I hope you get a little less swamped soon. You deserve a break.

I'm so excited. I found out he was coming back and I was literally bouncing. Hell House is my favorite Season 1 episode.

Once my event is over next week, I'll be doing a lot less running around, and I'll only have school to worry about. Which is better. And I'll have a lot more free time to do fun internet things than I have been lately.

I think I watched Hell House twice when I got the S1 DVDs last week. I love me my stoner geek boys.

Hee...just when you get some free time my schedule becomes even more crowded. Funny how that works. But if that means you write more fic, I will be very happy.
