I do not like CSI Miami - it is grim and boring. David Caruso looks like he needs a dose of salts and the police department doesnt have one woman over forty or one that doesn't look like a model this goes for the boy toys that are suppose to be cops. So because of Lucy I watched this show and I still don't like it. Now having stated my bias I will say I thought Lucy did a good job as the PO'ed pro who is having her business stolen by amature prostitues and randy housewives. I have to say I had more sympathy for her hard working madam than the so-called victims (one was lazy and the other just bored). Yes she arranged for the women to be drugged and robbed but she is quite right when she said it was an occupational hazzard. I sympathize with this small business owner. She has a staff for which she just may provide health insurance (STDs), pensions (maybe a 401k), day care for those careless enough to forget their pill, and the all important security service and don't forget all those whips and chains for her customers with exotic tastes. It all adds up and now she has amatures not only taking her business but possibly providing substandard service thus besmurching an old and venerable profession. Makes me mad just thinking about the injustice. Now to Lucy I thought she gave a nice understated performance. She basically has been nailed to a chair by the director so she can even use much body language, but she conveys a lot with her tone of voice. Her Audry was a crass, tough broad who probably fancies that she is classy and smarter than anyone in the room. Her intelligence is of course in question since she was stupid ( arrogant?) enough to wear her stolen ring right into a detectives office. Now I gather that Jackie is a bit concerned that Lucy plays too many floosies. Well frankly television has a lot of floosie parts. She has played three floosie in shows that pretty much are floosie magnets: Just Shoot Me, Two and Half Men and probably CSI Miami (can't tell, but I bet loose women are frequent characters on the show whether dead or alive). Lucy's other rolls have been a scientist, FBI agent, super-soldier, publisher (and loving aunt to monkey-boy) and of course the religious zealot leader of the Cylons. So I think Lucy is doing fine in the non-floosie department. CherylA ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.
