three things about tonight:



1. that bit where adam was rambling about ghosts and extoplasm --> not helping me not want to write a CSI:NY/SPN crossover where Sam and Dean encounter Adam and his distant cousin [insert AJ's character from "Hell House" here].

2. i never want to see nelly furtado act again. that last scene--it was like she was reading it off the paper.

3. maybe it's because i've watched too many sci-fi/fantasy/soap opera bits, but the fact that they never found claire's remains (although i don't know how well this speaks of her) has me thinking a "claire's alive" twist coming. especially with her son being involved now and all. that would actually be kind of interesting, if the writers could pull off something feasible. but then again, this is supposed to be a procedural drama with firm routes in reality. but an evil!fic writer might be able to do something interesting with it.

Haha, I started laughing SO hard when Adam started talking about the ghost stuff. xD

Also, I really enjoyed this episode's dynamic between Mac and, uh... I can't remember his stepson's name. :/ But anyway, I like how they interact and everything. And I really like the kid. Reed, is it?

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

so did i...oh, man. i'm probably gonna wind up writing that. oy.

mac and reed have such an interesting relationship. both actors are playing it with the right amount of discomfort, which makes it a lot more believeable. i really hope reed keeps popping up now and again. it's probably the one mac storyline i've actually liked (mac is not really a character that i watch for).

[justaredherring.livejournal.com]

I'll keep an eye out for it. ;D

Same here. Mac has just really grown on me this season, I think partially because as a character he's growing. His relationship with Peyton, with the other CSIs, and particularly with Reed have added more likable aspects to his character, and I really like seeing him deal with this totally new and unexpected stepson situation. It's cool.

actually, i've come to like mac less this season until they started the reed storyline. i liked the idea of mac/peyton, but mac was doing some not cool things over the course of it, and he was starting to piss me off (most notably the situation with hawkes in "Murder Sings the Blues"). he's been crusading a bit more than usual this season, and it was starting to rub me the wrong way.

Maybe I'm just desensitized to the male leads acting out from watching too much of Horatio tromping around Miami (and Brazil, was it?) acting like his Sunglasses of Justice and Moral Sense make him the King of the World, so Mac acting out didn't bug me so much. ¬_¬

(Not that everything he's done this season is great, or even good, but I liked that he got more interesting. I was just completely bored with him previously.)

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

that is true. i didn't really care about him either way before this season, and now he's pissing me off.

...i guess that's a step in the right direction.

i think it was the fact that he went off on Hawkes for no good reason was irking me. very in character...but made me angry.

[justaredherring.livejournal.com]

Grissom tends to piss me off with his inaction and blah personality more than Mac ever did, so I don't really know how that worked...

I definitely agree going off on Hawkes was nasty. I don't remember the context of the episode, like why Mac would have gotten that angry about it... I do also think it was in-character (I mean, he fired Aiden for just considering messing with evidence), but did he really need to force Lindsay to stay and witness the exchange? Not at all.

But being pissed about a character's actions seems better than not caring about the character at all. Hmm. ^^

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

grissom--he's got great one-liners, but other than that--he bugs me. no pun intended.

and that does seem to work more, for me too. if a character gets you angry, it means you're paying attention to him. which is good. especially when you're supposed to be carrying the show.

Heh, there was that line last Thursday... it was during the opener, just before it cut to the main credits, and he's like "you know what Grissom would say here..." and I can't remember Keppler's exact response, but it was something like 'something witty' or whatever. It amused me. ^^; I like first season Grissom, especially Pilot!Grissom, because he had a lot more personality than in the later seasons. He has improved somewhat this season, but I haven't even missed him the past few weeks, so I guess that's not saying much.

i haven't actually watched much after "Fannysmackin'". the season was just boring me. they didn't have anything interesting going on, and i happen to loathe grissom/sara, so it didn't really have any appeal for me.

that was when i switched over to supernatural.

[justaredherring.livejournal.com]

I've been catching episodes here and there, and half the time I'm doing something other than paying attention, but I wanted to see what they did with Keppler. He's more interesting than Grissom, for the most part, and he's only been around for three weeks. ;)

Our reception of the CW is really bad, so it's practically a waste of time to try to watch Supernatural as it airs on Thursdays. Mostly I catch it as AVIs my sister gets from one of her friends. :-/

i'm too lazy to catch up with CSI on innertube. and i completely understand about the lousy reception. i had to put up with it for years before we got satelite. we were always fiddling with the antenna, trying to get a clearer signal.
