PLAYING DEAD

[basric]

Well here we've seen four badly written episodes of Goren and Eames. Why last years A-list writers were replaced with C-list writers is maybe so Jeff could come out strong. Even Vincent has trouble carrying the show because he is in the show MUCH LESS with the guest stars having more lines. And they have Bobby not being Bobby. This guy is slow and pondering. Bobby couldn't sit still and spoke so fast trying to keep up with his thoughts. Did these writers never ever watch the show?

Enough bitching. I still, because of my great love of the man and his craft, have finally finished scripting and capping the first episode PLAYING DEAD, which I enjoyed more as I read the dialog. The next three should move faster. Not working as much only three 12 hour night shifts a week instead of five, no travel plans until fall and have the home front settled and hubby happy.

If you're interested in reading the episode it's linked on my home page or go to CI_DIALOG_CAPS.

Here's to hoping LO:CI survives the season with these half-assed writers so we'll have another season perhaps with better writers and producers.

And now a little something for those with the Goren fetishes.

Mine...that strong broad back.

I cap & script the episodes. In previous seasons you would have the opening crime then you would usually only see the guest stars when interrogated unofficially or officially by Goren & Eames with maybe one possibly two scenes with the guest stars alone panicking over what the cops know. And the aria or final scene was all about Goren/Eames taking the bad guy/guys down.

Now there are seven or eight scenes of the guest stars alone talking, and the aria is ending with the guest stars talking (or in Playing Dead, crying) and Goren/Eames watching.

I enjoyed the ending zingers from seasons before that always wrapped up the criminal. These no longer exist. Sadly. Everything is slow and pondering with the Nichols side getting the zingers.

As far as Alex, she looks sexier but her lines are not her snarky comments of the past. And poor Ross seems a bit lost. As great an actor as Eric is, that is a waste. But then so it is with Vincent and Kate.

But as I said before, I'd watch Vincent watching paint dry. I just miss the vibrating Goren.

Ia am not alone in these thoughts. There are a lot of angry followers out there raging over the poor writing this season.

But if you enjoy it I'm glad. Each of us to our own.

To be honest, the show has always been about the guest star/actor. That's it's main focus, and that's where the show does best. I'm glad they're going back to that.

Alex's snark has been absent since her kidnapping- at least it's been reduced. In Sunday's episode she said probably one of her best lines to date. "They have more toys than FAO Schwarz but they don't baby-proof the house?"
That was, quite frankly, awesome and should be on her list of best lines.

And, whilst I don't entirely disagree in terms of Goren, I do feel it's important to say I'm not the only one enjoying this season so far. So, even if there are a lot of angry followers, there is also an even number of happy fans. So, yes, each to their own. I'm saddened you can't enjoy it because of what's happened with Goren.

Didn't say I didn't enjoy it, just am not as happy with it.
