    Why do shows nowadays turn good characters bad or kill them off to get rid of them. Ryan may have made mistakes but he was always there for all. I enjoyed his character and what seemed like his growing friendship with Calleigh, great pair, now it's Delko and Calleigh no way Yuck As for story lines do they think that if you change the place and names we are not going to notice the repeating. That's it they have lost me I only stayed with there superfical story lines because of Calleigh and Ryan.

    Is this show CSI Miami or the Horatio Show? Nearly every episode revolves around him, At least I won't be there to see when he once more saves everyone.moreless

    After this season got off to a very disappointing start, it's great to see CSI: Miami return to being the great show it once was. "Burned" is another great episode to come out of the latter half of the season. A great story with a lot of twists and turns that just kept getting better. There was certainly a lot happeing in this episode but it all worked well and wasn't too much for the viewer to follow. Ryan getting fired was a conclusion nobody could have seen coming. It's nice to have CSI: Miami back.moreless

    Ok lets start off with the plot. An ex-lover taking revenge on her old boyfriend. You would think that maybe you could pull a prank or a least do something to him, but no. Instead she and her couple set their own house on fire! It was a good plot though.. i would have never guessed it. Yeilana coming back? will she be a permanint once again? Will her and Horatio have a love connection in the future? Only time will tell. Also Delko and Calliegh are having a little flirt once and a while. I don't think it will work out; one of them is going to get hurt. Ok i saved the best for last:Ryan. Once again, why? Sure he has made a few mistakes, but cut him some slack. I mean he got shot with a nail gun, he has been acused of being the mole and more. I just don't understand why Ryan wouldn't tell Horatio the truth. I was practically sreaming for him to spit it out! But he didn't, and that cost him his job which he so dearly loves. I mean he can sometimes be a jerk or rude, but that is ryan, and I am sure that some people would agree with me that he is adorable. But i have a feeling that we will be seeing more of him in the newer episodes, but not as a CSI....We will just have to wait until the new episode coming up.moreless

    Why did Ryan get fired. I really do not understand. It's just silly and wrong, i wonder how they will rehire him. They can't just fire him like that without no more explanation. It really makes me wonder. Just like the time in CSI NY where they fired Claudia because she tried to frame a rapist by messing with the evidence. I know that it's wrong but still I feel so for them. They just tried to make the world a better place for all of us. The explosion was awesome too, the way the man got knocked back. Enjoyable in a weird way.moreless

    I agree with all magdalena82 says about Ryan's bad luck. I actually like him in the team and hope he gets his job back. What I didn't get about this was that Horatio didn't go out of his way to find out what Ryan's problem was and to help him keep his job - when you consider how he has stuck his neck out for other team members in the past, it was out of character for H to let him go so easily.
    I wouldn't like a relationship to develop between Eric and Calleigh - they've been too much like brother and sister in the past for that to change now.
    And Yelena returns - in an ideal world she and Horatio will finally get together after Eric goes to H and tells him he should move on like Marisol would have wanted and H maybe opens up to him a bit about his feelings,and his past...then the writers could draw a line under all the angst and the team could get back to crime busting! In reality though, we are probably in for more "will they, won't they?" in future episodes.moreless
