First of all, I CAN'T BELIEVE CSI:NY HAS ALMOST REACHED IT'S 100TH EPISODE!! I love CSI: NY.. it's by far my favourite one (out of miami, ny, and vegas)!!!! As for Danny and Lindsay, I know a lot of spoilers have leaked about Danny and Lindsay's relationship, but I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon. If it does, then the show is just rushing their relationship. Since last season, Danny and Lindsay haven't in SPOKEN to each other... or even really LOOKED at each other! I know something big between them is supposed to happen soon, but if I didn't watch the last couple of seasons, I would have NO idea that they are even together !!Anyone agree??

i love both the characters and the people that Carmine and Anna have created and are, but I HATE the idea of a baby. Danny and Lindsay would make great parents, and their relationship would be alright if the writers would make it more clear, but it's just not the time for that in the show! i mean, danny and lindsay should somehow confirm they're dating if they're going to bring a kid into the world

I don't care how many seasons they spend having Danny and Lindsay flirting, playing games, dating or whatever. You'll never convince me Danny loves her. Look at S4 and so far in S5. He doesn't even act like he likes her, let alone loves her. It's obvious they scrapped what I was finally anticipating as a great season. Danny and Lindsay FINALLY doing things independent of each other and then Anna gets pregnant and they throw it all away.It's my opinion that TPTB just made Lindsay look like a big fool and a stupid one at that. She told Mac that it was stupid to date a co-worker. She pushed Danny away every chance she could when he just wanted to apologize. Danny doesn't know how to cope when somebody is mad at him and he does everything he can to fix it. Just look how he was with Mac after On The Job. He spent from On The Job until RSRD trying to smooth things over with Mac.The thought of Lindsay going to Danny's after she declined in Personal Foul really makes her look pathetic. We know Danny was upset, that was obvious and apparently he talked her into sex. The thing that gets me is that until this, I didn't think Lindsay was stupid but apparently they had unprotected sex which resulted in this spawn. I'm over caring if they have a kid or not because I do not believe it will be all sunshine and roses now. I doubt Danny and Lindsay are going to live happily ever after, even Pam Veasey hinted that there would be drama since CSI:NY is a drama. I'm wondering if Lindsay will even want Danny. Just because two people are careless one night doesn't automatically make them a couple. Just because Lindsay is pregnant by no means proves that Danny loves her. He's never shown any kind of love toward her. He showed more emotion for Rikki in 4x16 than he ever showed Lindsay, like it or not.I do like the idea that Danny will be the focus of this pregnancy and not Lindsay. Anna seems to have trouble with any type of drama but I know Carmine will do an amazing job. Even with this baby on the way, I think it would be best if Danny and Lindsay still went their separate ways. They can both still raise their child together unless Lindsay guilts Danny into marrying her. This all could have been avoided if somebody somewhere would have screamed 'birth control'.

Totally agree with youi do not like Danny and Lindsay in a relationship, and as for this baby thing i have 2 words to sy: COME ON!!!!!!!!!!what the hell were TPTB thinking when they came up with that plot! i know Anna is pregnant but to make it Danny's really takes the piss. i hate what they are doing to Carmine. i used to like Lindsay in the show but at the end of season 2 she really started to bug me. to make the baby Dannys is unspeakable and it makes Lindsay look like a doormat. and i for one dont think that Danny would be stupid anouth not to use protection.if the they keep these kinda story's for Danny im worried that Carmine may quit!!!!

well i don't think that Carmine would quit. he's invested so much into the show and as much as i hate the plot line, he won't throw a diva fit or anything. lol but i agree--it's just not right. the writer's do a great job with all of the crimes and solving them, but they do absolutely nothing with personal lives and it makes the show a little bit less likeable because you don't know what to think about some of the characters.

Carmine wanting to quit over these storylines worries me too! I agree that Danny would not be that stupid. He's a guy and from statements he's made in the past seasons, I'd say he gets around so to have him just forget to use protection is a bit ridiculous. This baby plot was definitely NOT thought out and they seemed to jump right on it just because Anna is pregnant. Yeah, that's a good reason to change everything-just because they're too lazy to hide it again.

I just don't understand how they're going to make a pregnancy story line between two main characters work. Pregnant women can't be around chemicals in the lab. I would think that two people having a child together would mean they can't be on the same team/shift due to, in part, the dangerous nature of their jobs. In both of the other CSI shows there are rules about co-workers being in relationships. Are they going to expect viewers to believe that NY has a different policy? That just makes the whole franchise lose credibility. Is Lindsay going to be reduced to a glorified love interest for Danny who just happens to be in the main credits? (Personally I think she already is pretty much that, but for the sake of argument I'll pretend I think she's a fully fleshed out character who deserves a spot in the opening credits.) If TPTB wanted someone to just be Danny's love interest they should bring Rikki back. She's only be recurring and she doesn't work at the lab or for the NYPD so any relationship stuff would be in the background where it belongs. Plus, Danny and Rikki had way more chemistry and potential to for an interesting relationship than Danny and Lindsay have ever had. The whole country girl comes to the big city and meets the, in Pam Veseay's words, "tough kid" and her twu wuv for him changes him just reeks of a Disney Channel show. It's about as cliched as you can get and that's exactly how they've written the relationship so far. I expect a lot better from a procedural crime drama in the 10 PM time slot. I also saw a statement from Peter Lenkov that said the Ruben story line is over. How is Danny going to learn he's going to be a father and NOT have it relate back to what happened to Ruben? That is just stupid and would be completely out of character for Danny. It seems to me the audience is going to have to swallow a lot of stuff that just logically doesn't make sense with what's happened on the show so far. I remember back in S1 when TPTB were bragging about how smart their audience was. Now it seems they think their audience is stupid and will go along with everything they throw at them regardless of if it makes sense or fits with the show and characters.On a side and less important note, I've heard a rumor that Danny's glasses are gone for good. I know in the whole grand scheme of the show this is minor at best, but I think it's a bad move. The glasses, in part, make Danny who he is and to take away such a visual part of his characterization isn't good. What's next? Is Flack going to start wearing jeans and t-shirts? Is Stella going to start dressing conservatively and matronly? At least I hope they explain why he's suddenly not wearing glasses after wearing them constantly for over four seasons. I mean if you had a co-worker who wore glasses for four years and then turned up without them you'd question them. To ignore it further shows TPTB doesn't care about characterization and thinks their viewers aren't very smart.

OMG i hadn't even thought of half of the points you had! and i must say, that you are absolutely correct on almost everything in that. lindsay's part is so minor it's not even funny, and then there's the fact that danny COULD do better. i like lindsay in general, but there's so little chemistry between them. i could never really see it. danny cared for rikki more than he ever cared for lindsay it seemed. the writers even focused on her character more, really. and carmine won't be wearing his glasses anymore? it is minor, but that makes me so sad!

I was under the impression that Danny had to wear glasses because he couldn't work around those chemicals in contacts. If that's the case, they need to put him back in his glasses. I did see promo pics of later shows and he doesn't have his glasses on in them either. That sucks. Glasses are just a part of Danny-another change tptb seem to be making for his character. It's really sad what they're doing to such a great character.I have to agree that I don't see how Danny can relate to being a father and not think about Ruben. It's crazy to think Ruben will never cross his mind again and it's crazy for tptb to think the audience would be fine with that. Ruben hasn't even been gone a year yet and Danny was so devastated that there's no way he's suddenly gotten over it just like there's no way he's suddenly in love with Lindsay.The 'country girl/city boy' thing is so overused and with Danny and Lindsay it makes no sense at all. If the two of them actually had any chemistry between them I might buy it but they don't. This Danny/Lindsay mess has been forced and forced on us from the first day Lindsay appeared. I actually thought tptb smartened up when it looked like they were getting away from them. Hopefully this pregnancy move will blow up in their faces. I just don't see it working out not to mention, why would a pregnant woman want to work in a lab full of chemicals? This entire storyline isn't going to work and I've been wondering if they only decided to run with it because, like TV Guide said, this would be the first CSI baby. If so, not a smart move.

I certainly won't hold my breath for an explanation as to where Danny's glasses went. We all know continuity is not one of tptb's strong points. As good as friends as he and Flack are, I would expect him to already know why Danny isn't wearing glasses anymore and yes, make smart ass comments about it since they both love teasing each other.Honestly at this point, I can't ever see them develop Lindsay on her own. She'll always be propped up by Danny and now with a baby on the way, Danny's going to be her permanent prop. What's it say about a character when said character is pregnant but the focus is going to be on the father? To me that doesn't say much for the pregnant character. I have to wonder if she's even capable of being developed on her own now after Lindsay being a character now for three full seasons.The one thing I was looking forward to this season was Lindsay being a character on her own outside of Danny. Now I've lost all hope of that.

Danny had lasik while on vacation?LOL

The real problem with making one of the original cast preggos and attaching it to one of the others without a well developed storyline/back story and knowing where they are going with it, one of the cast usually gets killed off and I HOPE it's not Danny.I have to agree, there has not been much development with Lindsey as a whole, she seems kind of like a little girl to me and is annoying as hell, I would have killed her off by now if I were one of the writers, bring in someone who {like in snow day where they had to give the nasty stuff to Carmine} was willing to do at least some stunts and stuff, granted she was back from maternity leave and things....maybe I'm just a die hard action junkie....but Stella gets dirty LOL
