Hey, finally other people who hate Miami!
Oh I've hated Miami forever. I hate that bitchy blonde (the crude dollar-store version of Without A Trace's Poppy Montgomery) and that brassy-ass black chick. And I'm not sure if I hate David Caruso more than I hate the show as a whole, but he's the bad acting, ugly, stupid, homeless-person's version of William Peterson. I hate that glasses thing he does, too. Anyone who's been fool enough to watch parts of Miami knows what I mean. It's like a chickeny headbob and then he slides on his shades like he's so damn cool. And he's a horrible actor! My god!
NY was a dissapointment. I liked the Stella character but it seemed conflicting that she was apparently suppose to be the sympathetic character for Mack (Sinise) and then later in the show, when they inform a man his girlfriend has been found dead just coldly blurts, "she's dead", like a bitch. And what's worse is that the man himself didn't care! Neither did the husband of the other victim! FTW!? Like, ho-hum, okay, that's nice. Horrible, horrible script and direction, that's all I can attribute that to.
And then they pull this
patriotic "he's a real person, too" pity-play bs by making Mack's deceased wife Claire a victim of 9-11. So at the end of the show, the mad Russian scientist's surviving victim is paralyzed, forever condemned to a bed and communication by blinking, and Mack decides to
lament about his own life story. FTW? She doesn't give a shit about you! She's been through hell and now she's stuck that way forever and all you can do blah blah blah about YOURSELF!?! And then this hugely contrived montagey sequence, complete with a visit to the 9-11 site, ensues where we're suppose to feel all sorry for Mack because not only is his wife dead, but
she died in 9-11. Oooh, ahh. Fuck you, people!
The other people I'd like to bash, but they were completely cheated of proper screen time. The episode needed to be more of character piece for the cast, not this over-the-top boring mad scientist riddled crap. Honestly, I didn't get the feeling the cast was at fault here. I think Gary's doing the best he can with what he's been given, which is complete, utter, stinky cat crap. For being a CSI show, they're suppose to play up more of the upbeat parts of the job, not be droll, dark sobfest. The opening song was a hideous choice. I believe I read that "Behind Blue Eyes" was the one that someone involved with the show wanted, but he was overruled. "Don't Get Fooled Again" is Miami's theme.
Wow, this is a long post. Well at least I won't have to waste another hour a week. CSI and Without a Trace had awesome premieres, so I'm very happy with those two shows at least.
