Random Thoughts CSI:NY - Spoilers at bottom for s5

Like my icon implies, I gotta ask. Why do people assume Danny loves Lindsay?? Hell, why do people assume that he EVER loved her? *headdesk*

He's never said he does. He's never acted like he does. He never told her either time she's mentioned loving him. So, why in the hell would anybody assume Danny loves her and should tell her he slept with Rikki and grovel to win her back?

That's just freakin' insane AND it boggles my mind.

As I said in a post on TalkCSI, I've been spot on so far since Snow Day aired about the status of the DL mess. I have episode reviews in my journal where I called a bunch of things correctly. Here's a rundown of some of them.

1. Love Run Cold - Lindsay stands Danny up and NEVER gives him an explanation. When confronted in the hall later and Danny uses that dreaded chemistry line Lindsay jumps straight to 'relationship' telling Danny she can't have a relationship with him and Danny is shocked and informs her that he was only talking about dinner, drinks, and a few laughs (exactly what he got plus sex in Snow Day). Which implies Danny never intended to date Lindsay.

2. Snow Day - Sex on the pool table was a one night stand. It was obvious Danny never intended to have Lindsay in his bed since he went to the trouble of bringing pillows and a blanket to the pool table. *snort* Lindsay showed her clinginess again by telling Danny she had a dream he'd left. Loved his comeback and I don't think it was as much of a joke as he tried to make it look (Where would I go, it's my apartment.) I would take that as an insult but then again, I wouldn't be clingy like that.

3. Season 4 starts - Danny and Lindsay show absolutely NO signs of being together. In fact, Danny looked and acted annoyed with her throughout much of the season.

4. Boo - Shippy DL scenes were cut. Another indicator TPTB were shifting away from whatever they started with DL. And for the love of God, Danny did NOT call Lindsay 'honey'..not once. He also never rubbed or shoulder or anything of that nature.

5. Child's Play - Danny NEVER once went to Lindsay for comfort after Ruben died and never did.

6. All in the Family - Lindsay went to Flack about Danny not showing up to work. She didn't make any attempt to try to find him herself. Also, neither Flack nor Danny made any attempt to let her know when things were resolved. Danny called Rikki 'sweetheart' and it was so sweet and genuine. What's he ever called Lindsay besides 'Montana'? *rolls eyes*

7. Right Next Door - If you want further proof that sex on the pool table was just a one night stand, just take a look at this episode. The scene between Danny and Rikki was beautifully done and it showed just how much Danny cares for Rikki. It was sweet and tender AND the added bonus of Rikki coming out of Danny's bedroom wearing his shirt. Hmmm...Danny wanted Rikki in his bed but not Lindsay...what does that tell you? Also, Lindsay calling him - Danny had every right to tell Lindsay he was running errands that morning. He had no obligation to say: Sorry Lindsay but I'm spending the morning in bed with Rikki and I'm making her breakfast. *it would have been priceless though* Danny and Lindsay weren't together therefore he doesn't have to tell Lindsay squat. Was this the 'monologue of doom' episode? By the expression on his face, Danny clearly had NO idea that Lindsay thought of herself as his girlfriend or that she was in love with him.

8. Like Water For Murder - (I think it was this episode) Where Danny forgot Lindsay's birthday. I had to LMAO when he didn't really seem all that concerned about it. Why would he if he didn't think they were dating? It was a little lame for Danny to ask Lindsay over to watch Jaws. It was clear he was just trying to patch their friendship up. This is also the episode where Lindsay told Mac it was a stupid mistake to get involved with a co-worker.

9. Personal Foul - Danny/Flack at the basketball game instead of the original spoilers showing Danny and Lindsay. More proof DL never was. I'm convinced, just like others, that the DR and DL scenes were switched but either way, it doesn't really matter since Danny was visibly upset once Rikki said she was moving. For the record, Danny saying that it was a mistake was referring to them using sex to help with the pain. He never said they were a mistake. The phone call to Lindsay was lame but since you can plainly see the sugar bowl was blotted out, that shows me that he only called Lindsay because he was upset that Rikki left and he just wanted somebody else to ease his pain.

10. Spoilers for season 5 - The hint of a montage tells me DL is over. Like others have said, montages usually come at the end of things, mainly relationships. Rikki returning for as many as four episodes along with another guy catching Lindsay's eye. She said she needed to move on and it looks like she will. Danny taking a vacation could very well be to spend time with Rikki. I seriously doubt he's going away with Lindsay. The spoilers did say things would happen with Danny that didn't involve Lindsay.

Well, that's all I can think of right now. My brain is now mush.

No...I blame things on the writers too. Some of it made me think...WTF?!

I think you're wrong in that way. I've talked to Rhonda about how things were written and how everything came together.

I'm more critical of it, the more it all fell apart.

Talking to someone about 'how things were written and how everything came together' is a far cry from 'agreeing with someone over a lot of things'. One can talk with another other the same subject and still completely disagree on it.

... *lol* Ya know what, I think I'll just leave it here. It seems clear to me you're not here to actually discuss anything, just to get the last word in. Your sentence doesn't even make sense.

No I think you all are trying to get the last word in. We're all doing the same thing. How does it not make sense?

I thought you were trying to understand where we're coming from here, at least that's what you said in other comments... How can you do that without some discussion, some back and forth?

Now that is the true definition of critical thinking, attempting to best understand as many possibilities without being heavily influenced by bias and emotions.

You've yet to support your statements with anything viable the whole time. And looking at the other threads, it's [livejournal.com profile] 1csimfan and [livejournal.com profile] jillibean basically defending their opinions because you're here continuously implying from the start they're 'wrong' (until you were called out on it, anyway). If you have nothing to back up your opinion other than 'whatever/I blame the writers!/I wish I was Lindsay because I believe Danny loves her!', well ... saying it once should be enough, right? Anything more and it's just you repeating yourself and, as I said, wanting to get the last word in.

This is the sentence that doesn't make sense at all especially in context of the thread and my post before yours. So the more 'critical' you became of 'it', the more 'it' fell apart? Well then, that doesn't automatically mean the writers were 'bad', that just means, based on the way you think and see the situation, you think it's bad.

[identity profile] ealasaid76.livejournal.com 2008-08-23 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
But in all your threads, that would imply you would agree. A lot of people here have said that the writing sucks.

... What the hell? You're not making a lick of sense. Agree to what? That the writers are 'bad'? I didn't say a thing about thinking the writers are bad in any way and neither did anyone else, apart from YOU.

Geez, this is bringing delusional to a whole other level!
