thanks for the thread.

don't think pride will leave the team, so he is really just considering.


wondering if the new agent is the temporary replacement for pride or or if she is "just" a replacemnt. i hope for the latter, because i think the team can do without a different leader for a few month, but i can imagine that she might take percy's place after some eps.

[shinebrighterxx]

Yeah I can't tell what they're doing there... I missed the news that they were adding a new cast member but she's a series regular so I imagine she's here to stick around & join the team but not sure exactly on what position she'll end up as. As you said - Pride isn't likely to be going anywhere. But they could have her replace him as team leader at least for a few episodes before replacing Percy

at the moment - right after watching- i just think they are about to ruin a good show....

hope i am wrong.

Oh no What have they done to make you say that?

same thing they did last season. it's all about pride. even when he is supposed to recover he is amidst the investigation. feels like the team is just too stupid to do anything without him.
It's not that i want pride out, he belongs there, but it is way too much of him.


and lasalle? he is second in command, right? why didn't he take the lead? why had this other agent has to be there?

maybe i am just overreacting, but i still remember csi new york. at some point they started to get way too mac taylor centric and everything went downhill from there.

i just don't want this to happen here, because i like the show. but if this goes on like this i am not sure if i want to watch this anymore.


at least the original ncis is surprisingly entertaining at the beginning of this season

[shinebrighterxx]

Not good. Now would be there chance to let the others stand out & stand on their own. Pride can be in it & help even but the team should be able to solve a case without him. So stupid to involve him - especially when they brought someone in to lead the team in his absence & i would think LaSalle could've lead the team on his own too

I never watched CSI but I see your point & agree it gets too much to have the focus on the one character constantly. The other characters should get attention too, as well as their chance to lead

I'm less likely to watch too if the focus remains on Pride. You expect something like that from a show with one lead or a titular character but this should be an ensemble show

exactly what i think. but again: maybe i am just overreacting, because it already annoyed me last season

[shinebrighterxx]

maybe but if they've done it in the past there's no reason to not think they'll do it again if they're still focusing on him when he's meant to be recovering

true, but i don't lose hope that they gonna change that.

So, it was an interesting episode at some points. I do wish they could have just had Pride like doing what he was supposed to and taking it easy. I like that Laurel was mad at him for going to work.

Hopefully Pride won't be main focus now with him taking this new job. I guess we will see though. I do agree that LaSalle should have been able to lead the team, but I guess they needed someone in there ASAP so the new lady was it. I will say it was nice that they brought someone in who was not insufferable to begin with, but is kinda likable instead.

[shinebrighterxx]

So we start the episode with Pride not meant to be working with him taking a break from taking a break? Then he tries to help out? The others can't just deal with a case without him around?

ah so Pride gets a promotion & replaced by a new leader... makes some sense, but of course I'm sure Pride will still be the focus

Gregorio: "Who is she?"
Sebastian: "I don't know"
Gregorio: "Then why you taking orders from her?"
Sebastian: "I don't know"


Love how they all took ages before getting to the 'who the hell are you' part to work out who she is. Shouldn't that have been Gregorio's first question - even interrupting her talking with Sebastian?

Laurel: "They're adults Dad. I'm pretty sure they can be trusted to survive a few months." - if only that were true
More seriously I do like her conversation with him - telling him how she feels, trying to get him to rest, & leave the team alone for a while

I find the case boring

[maplezbear]

Gotta say I agree with what you had to say Chelle

[shinebrighterxx]

It just felt like a weird episode? Would've been nice if they had the team stand on their own? Maybe even delay bringing in the new team leader for an episode too?
