CSI: NY

[yendi]

So, I turned off the CSI: NY finale once I realized that they'd killed the only character on the show I still liked.

And I therefore missed the news about the ending.

Fortunately, I've seen the same ending before, and so has most of TV-watching America above a certain age:

I'd. . .never seen that. But then, I've never really seen ANY Dynasty, so that's something. I was going to say it was the original "rocks fall everyone dies" but then I remembered Hamlet.

[yendi]

Also, in Hamlet, everyone actually dies. The Dynasty cliffhanger, although one of the best season-enders ever, ended with almost everyone living once the next season began (except Ali McGraw and the boyfriend of one of the sons).

So who'd they kill and what was the news about the ending? I did a cursory search on the internet, but all I saw was sites from weeks ago speculating.

[yendi]

They killed Jennifer Angell (Emanuelle Vaugier). Then there was a wake at a bar at the end of the episode, and someone fired machine guns into the bar, possibly killing the entire cast (or at least whoever they can't negotiate a pay cut with).

Was she the "goth/punk" one?
Oh good! Gotta love a bloodbath.

[yendi]

She was the tough cop who was getting involved with the other tough cop on the show. And the one not in the credits, so clearly the one meant to die.

Maybe I'm thinking of NCIS. Of these shows I only watch CSI so I have trouble telling the others apart.

[yendi]

Yeah, NCIS is the one with the cute goth-punk chick (and little else).

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

I found her presence and appearance to be so unbelievable that I never got around to watching the show.

Hay, what about David McCallum? Illya Kuryakin as a ME.

Well there was also loren holley's breasts for a while, but they got shot too

[phantom_wolfboy]

Dude. Everyone on NCIS is hot.

Disrespect towards Mark Harmon gets a bitch cut. Thats all I'm sayin'...

Oh, and btw. I was wondering if you and blazepoet and a 4th person you may have lying about would be interested in playing Titan this weekend.

[yendi]

I can't speak for blazepoet, of course, but I'm definitely interested!

As far as a fourth goes, maybe ckd?

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Shall we say Saturday at your place? What time would be good?

[yendi]

That works. Want to aim for around 5 or so? That gives time for a long game (and the usual delays) without taking us too late into the night/morning. Or did you want to aim for earlier?

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

5 should be fine, though if the other two would like a different time I'm flexible.

Will you be getting in touch with them? I can post to ask blazepoet, but I don't think I know the other individual.

[blazepoet.livejournal.com]

Ding! I appear!

Ding! I shall appear at yendi's at 5... as long as I can remember where it is... heh.

I have to warn you I haven't played in 15 years or so. It'll be like learning all over again.

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

I figure it'll take a little longer 'cause we'll have to go over the rules, but I tend to build that in to my estimates for how long the game will take.

[yendi]

iirc, our address should still be in your GPS, but if it's not, drop me a line!

[yendi]

I've emailed ckd, and will follow up if I see him on chat later today.

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Thanks!

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

I mentioned this to rayan4d2 and he expressed interest in playing as well. Would it be ok if he came along tonight? Not a problem if he can't. Titan can be played with 5.

[yendi]

Works for me!

[ckd]

I'll be there. I can also bring some subset of: Battlestar Galactica / Race for the Galaxy (with exp #1) / Dominion; the latter two are good short games for the eliminatees from Titan, and BSG is a wondrous game of paranoia and treachery. (I'm all for paranoia and treachery.)

(I've never actually played Titan, for all the boardgaming I've done over the years. yendi, feel free to be surprised at this revelation.)

Aaaah, how well I remember that finale. I was totally on pins and needles all summer waiting for the premiere to find out who lived and who died.

(Yes, I watched Dynasty fairly religiously when I was eleven.)

[yendi]

Ha! Me, too. And man was I disappointed when I found out how few folks had actually died.

[badlittlemonkey.livejournal.com]

Me too -- I was all, "Wait, I fretted all summer over that?" If you're gonna mess with me like that, at least make it worth my while.

Luckily for my summer, I don't give two rat's asses about CSI: NY. :)

My guess is that NO ONE actually got shot based on the camera sequence and how CSI actually operates. But that's just me.
