The Blackwell Deception Post 2

All right! Out of the tutorial and into the main game!

When Jeremy Sams came out of his bedroom Not Among The Living I went ‘oooh’. Now that’s how you start a case. Plus all the mysteries attached – how did he call you? Where is his body? (It wasn’t in the bedroom dead of flu like I expected)? And it seems new agers are the enemy of the day. You know, Rosangela’s main customers.

I really like Rosangela but Joey is such a whiny little baby. Definitely a case of ‘if we weren’t cursed to be together, we would never hang out’. I’m intrigued by the man what knows Joey. Mr. Nobody. I like how the names change depending on if you’re viewing it as Rosa or Joey.

Really enjoying the emails that she gets in her phone, I keep checking to see who’s contacted her now. Callbacks to old games!

CSI: Cockroaches

I’m not sure what I hated about this episode most. The camera work, the dialogue, the scene direction, or the acting direction. I absolutely understand why Gary Dourdan had ‘creative differences’ after Tarantino and then this episode.

I hate stunt director episodes.

Somehow this episode gave me one of my biggest crushes (Warrick) topless and just made me feel gross instead.

Also… was he roofied and raped? What the hell was that.

CSI: You Kill Me

A Lab Rats episode! All of the Lab Rats were my favourites. All of them. But especially Archie. Archie Kao was so damn funny.

That episode was a delight, I really enjoyed when CSI did comedy.

Archie muttering ‘thank you for at least getting me justice’* angrily at Nick and Warrick and only getting a ‘sure! You’re welcome!’ was the highlight.

But! I just finished the Ted Danson years and by that point only Henry and Hodges are left. So it was great seeing Bobby, Archie, Wendy, and Mandy again.

Pokemon: The Keystone Pops

I wanted to watch this because it had Spiritomb in it.

I genuinely did not expect Spiritomb to be put in prison at the end.

“So when is its redemption arc where they find out it’s misunderstoo–no, okay, it goes to jail. It’s a bad pokemon. It goes to pokehell.”

CSI: Goodluck and Goodbye

I just skipped the Without a Trace crossover. Hopped on over.

Man, everyone in CSI has sex with their underwear on. Las Vegas: Land of the Never Nudes.

I am pretending the Warrick and drugs plot isn’t happening. I will close my eyes and let it pass through me.

W-why is this Ronnie Lake’s last credited episode? Oh. She’s FINE she just… goes away and they never mention her again. I guess I’m gonna assume she went to take on that horror movie career she was offered.

“We don’t talk about Ronnie.”

Orrrr she decided to cut contact after Sara’s ennui act. And became a horror film star. I’m not swaying from this horror film star idea. You were a shitty partner to Ronnie, Sara. You’re why she left for the silver screen.

Sara kissing Grissom and Hodges all ‘god I wish it were me’ (to be clear I absolutely mean he wants to be Sara) made me feel better about Hannah’s finding out after fucking around scene.
