Can I Get Some Emotion, Please?

Posted on 22 March 2009 by admin

While I understand CSI: Miami’s (CBS) Horatio Caine (David Caruso) is supposed to be the stone-faced hero, shaken by nothing and intimidated by no one, I would love to see some more emotion. He’s like a robot. Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles’ (FOX) Cameron has more spirit and she actually is a robot. I’m not asking for him to start sobbing on Eric’s shoulder about his murdered wife or laugh-out-loud at a co-workers joke, but some hint that there’s a man behind those iconic sunglasses would be stellar. 

horatioI want to see sadness, happiness, confusion, or heartbreak. The “tell” doesn’t have to be obvious - perhaps a subtle frown or sharp inhale. At the very least, let the poor man smile more than once every thirty episodes. “I swore I saw 

him change facial expressions twice. At least that’s what I thought I saw, before I fainted,” comments CreativeThinker via TV.com. 

CSI: Miami has a chance to delve into and develop a great character. I just hope they take the opportunity. What makes him tick? I want to know, and viewers do, too. Step up CBS and take a risk. It’ll be worth it, if only to stun the hundreds of users posting Horatio spoofs to YouTube.
