Calleigh is the one who has had the least development in season 4. Ryan has some, but it is mostly Horatio and Eric.

Some things about the name Horatio: - In the LV/MIA cross-over, they talk about a writer, Horatio Alger - In Dead Woman walking, the woman talks about Shakespeare's Horatio in Hamlet But a very ancient writer, Livius (some of you may have heard about that guy ) has written something about a guy called Horatius, someone who protected the Romani against the Albani, along with his two brothers, those three fight against the Curiatii who fight at the Albani side. The three (Livius calles them the 'Horatii') defeat the Curiatii and then Horatius goes back to Rome and kills his sister because she got involved with the Curiatii. Good against bad. Note: the dativus and ablativus of Horatius is Horatio. Okay nothing interesting about that but had to post it. I thought it might be interesting 'cause somewhere it shows that the early Horatii tried to be the good ones, similar of what H is trying to be too. Fight to keep their city how it's supposed to be. Just some example.

I just love Horatio. I got hooked on him & the show after watching Felony Flight. His compassion is what drew me to him. Plus how he's there for his people. He'll do whatever it takes to protect them.

Horatio rocks! He's just great. Okay, so maybe the sentences he's got are cheesy and the posing is somewhat, ehm, 'weird', but the sunglasses and his, as far as I consider, care for people is great. Okay so maybe he is not the kind of person you'd want to see day after day after day, but he's cool. That is just my opinion. ;D

In my forensics class, sometimes on Friday we'd watch a CSI episode, just so we could correct the TV mistakes they'd make. Normally we stuck to Vegas, but one day someone brought in a season of Miami, and Horatio came on. Turns out he had personal relations with a dead body they found.
"Process me," he barked. "I'm a suspect. You have to suspect me."
Five minutes later, when we were all done laughing, we stopped the tape. That totally destroyed CSI Miami for me in one line right there lol. Horatio is, as we've all noticed, a cheesey action junkie.
The character formula is an old one -- The Leader That Will Do Anything To Protect His Team, and on top of that, the guy's a terrible actor. So, in my humble opinion, Miami would have been better off if they shot Horatio instead of his wife :-P
Don't hate me now lol

Excuse me but thats just Season Four.
Season One and Two were okay we had out heroic Horatio
Not to so Heroic to bust a cap in everyone ass but just nice you knwo what I mean.
Season 3 with all this Ray crap wrecked him.
Then Season 4 put the bullet in him.
The wife storyline wshouldnt have come out in the first place! Its tottaly OCC for Hroatio from the start.
I really can not get across how mad I am about it. Theve wruned Horatios character. I mena he was so OOC this season its a joke.
Its turned in to some sort of farce.
Next thign we will know we are being told Season 4 was a dream!!!

lol okay so maybe you Brian and you Sam are right. Okay, so not maybe but for sure. Okay so maybe the only reason why I still like the character is because I liked him so much in the first two season. Okay so maybe there might be the very, very, very smallest chance they'll bring back a bit of the old H in the next season. I so hope they do. Hey I know something, in Corey Miller's blog at the Miami site, he [Corey Miller] tells us his e-mail address. CSICorey@aol.com. What if you e-mail him and tell him that they should have more of the s1 and s2 H in the next season?

I liked Horatio a lot in season 2. Actually, everything about CSI: Miami was great in season 2. In season 3 he was pretty okay, I liked the Ray stuff. But season 4...vomit! Horatio was just a laugh there.

well, I still like him, but you're right, he was indeed better in s1 and s2. I did not like him in s3, so maybe that's why I like him now.

I know after watching Felony Flight & getting hooked he started to change but, that was when that crazy love story(if that's what u wanna call it) started taking place. I know people have accused him of accusing people before the evidence comes through but so has Grissom & mac. I've watched them to do it.
I wish he'd go back in the lab but DC wanted out of the lab sooooo. I am worried about S5 though considering Eric & H are suppose to take revenge. All in all I still like H mainly cause of his protection of his people.

I don't like H and Delko taking revenge idea...IF Horatio would be a real hero, he wouldn't do that, because it stands against everything he's for. But I guess I should be fine with it, considering I don't like types like Horatio in previous episodes, that are always 'The Ultimate Superhero'. People should have it's flaws.

But he HAS his flaws. But (I'm getting psychological now! ) there may be so many, that he hides them to make sure he looks like he has none. (Okay, me being psychological is over). Yes Sharon I'd like it too if he'd go back to the lab but if DC doesn't want that... okay only this second I hate him. Now I don't hate him anymore. I do like him too for the protection of his people. And Fabian, I agree he would be a real hero if he would NOT take revenge. (Fabian, did I just agree with you on Horatio? There must be something wrong ). Yeah, I agree on that. And you know what? I got this feeling inside the writers will (hopefully) not write something about taking revenge. Horatio has to get over it, sure, and so does Eric, and they could write something about that. But I hope and have the feeling they won't write about revenge. Now I only have to hope my feeling is right.

I don't know...on one hand I want them to take revenge. I would like to if someone killed my wife... But on the other hand, they might just 'take revenge' by taking care of him being in jail forever or getting the death sentence. But they already were brutal to that other guy in 'Rampage'... But I don't know wether to like it or not....aaaah mixed feelings! But I don't really care about what the writers are gonna do now, because the basically screwed everything up already. Yeah scorpii, we agree! What happened, hehe...
