When did this happen? I really love Hodges...

Apr 14, 2007 20:01

Ok, So my love for CSI has greatly diminished. I have gotten to angry at that show, not so much for GSR but for the fact that Grissom has become the ultimate Mary Sue character who is always the liberal, open-minded and enlightened leader that no one can live without (not even for four weeks ( Read more... )

days, csi

You know, this was the first episode in about two years where the promo caught my attention. I recorded, was debating whether or not to watch it, but I think I'll now try to find the time. Hodges always amused me, so I'll be interested to see this episode that has turned you into a Hodges fan. Of course, I've NO idea who Wendy is!!

Well, to be fair I was already becoming a Hodges fan. He was the only one that didn't seem to change under this weird season and was just as...Hodgesy as ever ( ... )

HAHA, I agree with the Grissom remark. Ugh. ;/

I dunno about CSI anymore. It's just ... awkward anymore, y'know?

tripp3235 April 15 2007, 01:37:55 UTC

It is awkward in many ways but I think the last few episodes have improved. I was very angry with the Grissom worship especially since he is not a good manager. He doesn't turn in their raises, he rarely gives them kudos and he doesn't stick up for them when needed. So that angers me more than the GSR thing though I hate that (love your icon) as well.

But the lab rats were so cute! I was really shocked when this was a Hodges centric episode and didn't know if I would like it since the rest of the cast is getting shafted in the screentime area. But it as nicely well done. And I do like the miniature killer.

I really liked this episode, too, for just that reason. It seemed the people who don't normally get the focus got it and those who did - well, didn't. And kudos to Hodges for finding a clue no one else did!

tripp3235 April 15 2007, 02:42:51 UTC

I really did feel good for Hodges. He was so cute. And then to find out he did all of this because it was his "lucky day" was quite Hodge-like.

apckrfan April 15 2007, 02:51:33 UTC

::snort:: Yes. And I loved the song they played while showing us his day, too. It fit him so well.

As far as Chelsea, I meant to comment on that first time around and forgot. I've stopped watching Days. So pissed off that I finally have Steve & Kayla back and they ruined them. About the time Steve regained his memories is when I stopped watching regularly. I keep up enough to know what's what and it's getting to the point I should give it a whirl again.

But, ugh, I can't stand Chelsea or Willow. They both could jump in a lake as far as I'm concerned. I haven't seen the Chelsea/Nick thing develop, last I saw she thought he was a doctor guy she met on the computer. I mean, she knew Nick but Nick was talking to her as someone else online.

Yeesh, enough rambling. Just needed to vent about Days :-(

tripp3235 April 15 2007, 02:56:34 UTC

See, I reallylike Days now. I'm not really happy with the Stve/Kayla story but I have seen them in worse storylines (like Marina).

Sorry, I love Chelsea. I hated her last summer. I think I really just got excited about hearing she would be paired up with a "geek" and since I myself am a geek and love geeks (hence my favorite character on CSI is Greg and OMG, Nick reminds me a good deal of Greg.) worldwide, naturally I would be attracted to it.

That said, I do think that Nick/Chelsea has been thrown together too fast actually (which is shocking given the slowness of other storylines). I think both actors are really really good and have excellent chemistry but no doubt the show will screw that up and feature more boring couples like Shawn/Belle. (No offense if you are a Shelle fan).

Yeah I gave up on CSI a long time ago because of the GSR being thrown in our faces and the character re-writes. Havent watched in ages. But I do love Hodges....he always cracked me up!!! So I might check this eppy later.

tripp3235 April 15 2007, 16:03:01 UTC

Yea, Hodges has grown on me this season so much.

I highly recommend you watch this episode. Sadly Grissom is featured a bit in it too but I can be above my issues with him and say I liked him in this.

I got further into the episode here at my TV blog:

Just a random comment, but I love your icon :-) (The one in tripp's reply, too! I love S/K!)

tripp3235 April 15 2007, 16:16:45 UTC

I love them too!!

daniforblue April 15 2007, 19:19:19 UTC

I loved Hodges right from the start. He is so funny. Sadly for me he is more fun in every episode than Greg. Greg used to be a funny boy but not anymore. *sigh*

tripp3235 April 16 2007, 01:22:56 UTC

Yea, Hodges and Greg scenes were always brilliantly done. And now I'm glad their rivalry has come down a bit.

How are you doing? Haven't spoken to you in awhile. You might be interested in seeing my new TV blog where I do talk about CSI occasionally. My other great loves are Lost and embarrassingly Days but you will see the CSI stuff. LOL, I need more people to post on that. :)

For the moment I´m fine. I just didn´t find the time and the energy to write much in my Lj. Work and my boyfriend keep me busy all the time.

I visited you new TV blog and will make a comment about CSI asap.

My new loves are The Closer and Studio 60 on Sunset Strip.

I didn´t see Lab Rats yet.

tripp3235 April 19 2007, 19:06:50 UTC

Boyfriends are like that :)

Studio 60. I stuck by that show to the last episode.

I didn't like it so much but for some reason kept watching.

Thanks for going to the blog! Looking forward to waht you have to say.
