I agree with lillian... on the character/actor bashing... because I personally find Horatio Caine to be by far the most complex of characters, sure in ways he's similar to Mac and Grissom in his approaches, but he is by far my favorite Supervisor. He's caring, he's not selfish - he puts his team first (which Mac and Grissom also do) and I think his past not only helps gives him insight, but warning for future endevours.

And heh, Horatio's sunglasses routine? Well, you need to remember that they're in Miami and it can easily get into the 90's to 100's, and that's good protection for your eyes too. He's also not the only one who wears them and I personally love him with them on, something about him standing there with his hands on his hips, wind tossing his red hair... mm.

But I digress. Simply put, to each their own... it's fine if you don't like them, that's your choice, but it should be left to your own journal and not posted in a community.

yes, they protect your eyes when you're in the sun. so why has he been seen wearing them inside??

and i thought this was a CSI discussion community?? i am discussing my distaste for a character on CSI. i didn't think my posts had to be all happy rainbows to be acceptable, cause there are some things about each show i dislike and i thought it would be okay to discuss them here.

Horatio Caine is not complex. He's so one-dimensional it makes my teeth hurt, and is the reason I stopped watching Miami. He does the same things over and over again, episode after episode.

The point with the sunglasses is that he makes such a big show of it - normal people manage to take off/put on theirs without having to make a dramatic pause.

He routinely condescends to both his co-workers and the suspects/victims he talks to - his tone of voice, and the fact that he seems to find it impossible to make eye contact with the person he's speaking to.

I've seen he process evidence about once, but as he's the team leader he can probably be forgiven that. That fact that he shows up at a scene, stands there and looks around a bit, plays with his sunglasses/badge, tells everyone else what to do then wanders off again week after week does not endear me to him at all.

He's a caricature, not a characater, and Miami's viewing figures continue to astound me because personally I find it painful to watch because of him.
