More TV crack

[livejournal.com profile] tcaptain lent me the first two seasons of CSI. I am four episodes in, and I think I have a tiny crush on Grissom. I love a man who can be smug about entomology.

Heh.

:::ETA:::

I'm also very much enjoying the various tensions, interpersonal conflicts and external conflicts. In CSI: Miami they try very hard to do it, but basically everyone gets along with everyone on that show, and so there's very little dramatic tension for the discerning viewer.

That is so funny

Of all the CSIs, the most popular order for the lead CSI is Grissom, the one from New York and Kaine waaaaaaaay down there. This is, of course, in no way a scientific poll. It's just something small, garnered and gathered from my female friends. Caine has always been my number one.

Oh well, tastes, we all has different ones.

Glad you've come discovered the fun of the City That Never Sleeps, though.

I haven't watched CSI: New York, yet. So far I find Grissom more endearing than Caine, but mostly because he's geekier and thus strikes more chords with me. :)

I get the geeky-ness factor, but I'll raise you a cool-exterior-soft-as-mush-interior. Caine realy strikes a cord with me with the "I have a heart that I am sometimes 'too cool for school' to show off, but other times, it kinda sneaks out onto my sleeve" factor.

That is very well put. Pretty much describes my view.

Wow, thanks. I so wrote that thinking "no one but me is going to get this".

OZ has raised my threshold for what constitutes interpersonal conflict on a show considerably.

Trust me, until Grissom shanks somebody in the showers for control of the drug trade, it is all sweetness and light.

Enh. Violence to me doesn't necessarily imply that the interpersonal tension is good. Take Deadwood, for example: horrifically violent, but the best tension happens between characters who never raise a hand against each other.

Verbal tension=gooood, very, very good.

honey, I will fight you for Grissom, and I think I can take ya.

[identity profile] mousme.livejournal.com 2008-03-03 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I did say it was a tiny crush. Mostly I want to take him out for coffee and watch him talk. If you want to toss him against a wall, be my guest. ;)

he could toss ME up against a wall any day any time

Grissom

I can't wait until you two get to the episodes in which his sexual secrets are revealed.

Mousme, once again, we rotten Yanks have taken advantage of you. You get our somewhat silly CSI, but we get your stellar, fabulous, cut-short-too-soon DaVinci's Inquest.

I've been watching CSI from the beginning and so I know all about his little .... predilictions.

As for DaVinci's Inquest, bleh.

I like DaVinci's Inquest. The writing is very fun, and very very Canadian.

Heh... I had very warm feelings for the ugly little Irish guy who took DaVinci's coroner job when DaV became mayor. The Mick Leary character played by Ian Tracey.

I think it's genetic. Can't seem to help myself.

DaVinci's Inquest wasn't cut short as far as I know. I seem to recall it going on for years and years, and then there was a spinoff in which he becomes the mayor.

Sexual secrets, huh? I thought he and Sara are supposed to be the canon OTP in the show.

DaVinci's Inquest

[identity profile] ankhorite.livejournal.com 2008-03-03 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)

Yes, just one year as mayor and then BOOM! cancelled, leaving several story lines hanging.

I'd been waiting for years for the crooked vice cop to get his just deserts!

Um, yeah, but before Sara ... ;-)

Heh, heh. The one you haven't gotten to yet is my OTP for that series.

No, no, just wait. Patience, my little grasshopper, patience.
