Spoilers for House and Bones, and a little bit of CSI: Miami that I didn't watch

[iluvroadrunner6]

Bones:

- I don't watch this show that often, but I've watched enough to love Zack (Zach?). The fact that he was involved in this, and then he didn't blow things up right away because he didn't want to hurt Hodgins made me so sad.

House:

- NO MORE HOUSE/WILSON ANGST.
- Now, I didn't like Amber. But I didn't not like her enough to want her dead, especially when it leads to the thing that's stated in point number 1. Didn't they just get over the H/W angst from S3? Right? GRRRRRRR -- I don't like it when the boys are angry with each other.
- But the House/Cuddy moment made me squee.
- Kutner backstory! That made me happy.
- The moment with Taub climbing on top of his wife made me giggle.
- Hadley (13) -- I love Olivia Wilde. I'm glad Cuddy made him hire her instead of Amber, because to me her character was more tolerable for me. I just hope she gets more complicated or more to do in S5.

CSI: Miami: [RANT WARNING]

OMG WRITERS, STOP ASSASSINATING RYAN'S CHARACTER. He is not that fantastic a douche that he would have his boss killed/shot/have harm inflicted upon. True, he can be a jerk at times, and his people skills upon first meeting aren't the greatest, but the things that they're having him do are twisting him so far away from the character that I loved and it's making me sad.

I mean seriously, what is it with the writers this season? Are they trying to make me hate all the characters that I love? First the whole mess with Danny that while I could kind of swallow did not make me happy with him in the slightest, but this is just going too far. LEAVE RYAN ALONE, DAMNIT. You wonder why I don't watch the show anymore.

...Is it bad that I really don't care what happens to Horatio at all, I'm more pissed about Ryan?

Bones made me sad (and go 'wtf?' at the beginning when it looked like Booth was dead), House made me boo-hoo, and Miami made me want to stab myself in the fucking eye.

I think they were trying to set up a 'whodunnit' mystery at the end of the episode. There's no doubt that Saint Horatio will pull through, but who finally shattered his divine protection and capped him? Was it Kyle, who was seen with a gun? Was it Julia, who left on her mysterious mission? Was it Ron, eyefucking those bullets? Was it Ryan, with that cryptic text message? Or was it some unknown assassin working for what's-his-face, that Hispanic guy that has already been on Miami?

I think the thing with Ryan is probably a red herring--at least, I hope it is. I can't see a logical reason for Ryan to be the one to shoot Horatio when there are so many people who want to off him...

ETA: Have him shot, not shoot him.

Now that I've watched the ep--and I admit, I only watched it because I knew H was getting shot tonight and I wanted to enjoy that--I need to join you in yelling about Ryan and the way the writers have screwed his character over repeatedly. DUDE. I miss the Ryan we had when we started, the dorky, not quite well-socialised guy who was still totally good at his job.

(I used to write him. I had to stop becasuse all the screwing over was killing me.)

And I'm with you. Pffft on H. Just tell me it wasn't Ryan behind it.

The reason I stopped watching the show was because of the whole mess with Ryan. Ryan was one of my favorite characters, and atm, he was coming in first, because Delko was acting a little too heartbroken over Calleigh for my taste. (I think they tried to pass it off as being because of the shooting, but -- I had a hard time buying it.)

Horatio was always a drama whore, but the other characters were still relatively sane so that made things a bit more bearable. Now they were all drama whores, except for Ryan and Alexx, but the writers keep screwing Ryan over, and now Alexx is gone, and I just really don't have any incentive to go back anymore.

Exactly. Granted, I haven't watched most of this season, but unless Horatio wronged Ryan greatly in some way, Horatio's never been anything but good to Ryan. Where's the motive? It doesn't make any sense.

As I said, I really could care less about Horatio. He could die for all I care, and I think the show would be better off. But I really hate that they're throwing Ryan into this.

If they want us to believe Ryan is a baddie, they've done a shitty job of setting it up. It all makes me think of a bad soap opera where some random person is SUDDENLY THE BAD GUY.

Unfortunately, I think the show would fail without Horatio. Aside from the tackiness and the cheese factor, what does Miami really have that the other shows don't do better, you know?

I really hope the text message was a red herring. Maybe they're hoping that when S7 starts and they show that Ryan wasn't a baddie after all, the fans will be so happy and grateful they won't think to wonder wtf the writers were thinking to use that to throw them off.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you. Honestly, it really surprises me the number of fans Horatio/Caruso has, considering the fact that he would fail miserably at any other kind of role -- and in my opinion, he barely even does this one justice.

I really hope the text message was a red herring.

Me too. Because I really don't think Ryan is capable of something like that, or at least I'd like to.
