at the risk of angering the multitudes of horatio fans (don't ask me how it happened, but they exist) am I the only person here who finds horatio deeply irritating. Aside from thinking that he is a one man police force, he has the worst one-liners on the face of the earth ( ), and his personality seems really fake. *readies bomb shelter* many people have commented on horatio's aptitude with children. Speaking as a babysitter, camp counsilor, and older sister, the way he interacts with children is seems rather unrealistic to me. It's like they tried to write a character who loves kids without ever having met a kid or child-care provider. *stocks up on emergency supplies* It almost feels like the writers had good iedas and visions of the character, but they ended up with a characer who reads all the lines without any resembablance of emotion or realistic personality. It's how i immagine a zombie would act: going through all the motions but without a spark of humanity *Hurries into bomb shelter and locks doors*

dragonstar4, the last thing I want to do is cause offence as I once would have agreed with you, but now I can't. I have seen the light. Horatio used to irritate the hell out of me for the very reasons you have stated, but now I absolutely adore him.
I know you said he is unrealistic with children and perhaps that is the case. All I know is that if I am faced with the same situation, I hope I can come out with the same things that Horatio does because he brings comfort and when children are involved, that is the most important thing in the world. I've never been a CSI so I can't relate to Horatio, but I have been a child, and the child in me would love to hear the words Horatio speaks if ever in their situation. Horatio's greatest skill is interaction, and mainly with children. That's part of what I love about him.
Horatio cares. People matter to him. If everything else in this world goes to hell, the one thing I rely on is the people around me. I can't believe I'm saying this because I used to fly the Grissom flag, but if anything ever happened to me, I'd prefer Horatio to be on my case because he has the skills to comfort. He is humane. He relates. He is emotional. He cares and to me, that is the most important thing in the world.
A Horatio Fan.

Horatio freaked me out at first. I watched Miami after Vegas' Cross-Jurisdictions n liked Speed lol. Uh, that sounded weird. Y know wat I mean lol. But yeah, that glasses thing he always does - freaky deaky. lol.
And his voice too - he always sounds like he's about to narrate Sleepy Hollow or summat lol. Perfect for a drama like CSI lol.
So yeah, I like him but mostly cos I fear him lol. I like Speedle. He's great. N Eric. REALLY don't like Calleigh. Her voice annoys me.

Amy, Calleigh's voice used to annoy me, too! But if you can get past it, you'll see that she is one of the best female characters on TV at this time. She's strong and very intelligent. She also has a vulnerable side which make her more realistic.
Wow, I really am a CSI Miami convert! I can't believe I used to hate the show and all the characters!

lol. Yeah, that's one of the reasons y Sara Sidle is my favorite female character from Vegas. With Cath not too close behind. I put aside my Calleigh-hating differneces to watch Speed hehehe. But he's gone now and after I was over the upset I just carried on watching it. She's alright, she just kinda bugged me and I always thought she was, like, a bit of a sluttier version of Catherine from Vegas - which, considering Cath used to be an exotic dancer....lol.
But yeah, she's alright. She plays a good part - with the shotgun home and family background n alcoholic parents etc.

Horatio is very unhuman, let's not forget this. He always does things the right way and cares about everyone. Aren't you guys sick of that?

When you say unhuman, do you mean detached, because I know you have to be detached in order to do that kind of job. I was a police officer for a period of time and I know that I had to find a happy medium in terms of my emotions. I wanted to help everyone, but I knew I couldn't do that. I tried but it was exhausting. I think Horatio can find that balance, and he can go home and sleep at night knowing those few words and actions of comfort can help a person whereas becoming completely invested in them can drain you.

What I mean is, he is alwasy being portrayed 'The Hero, the man that makes no mistakes.' But everyone makes mistakes. That frustrates me about him.

Having seen S4, I think that he realises he is human, just like everyone else. I don't want to give too much away in case readers of this thread have not seen the S4 episodes.

I don't really care what people say about Horatio. I've liked him the minute I saw him. I think he's uber cool and I really like the way he handles suspect. I like the way he's mean to bad guys but very nice and kind to those who are innocent.
Sure at times I feel like I could hate him but it's impossible to hate him.
