Also I think there are *cough* other means of acquiring the NCIS: LA episodes if you wanted to see them...
Of course there are, but that won't stop Portuguese media to inundate me with newspaper and magazine articles all saying "WHEN OH WHEN CAN WE FINALLY GET TO SEE OUR DANIELA IN ACTION????" *grins* Like I said, she's a pretty popular actress over here - in fact, back when she was a frizzly-haired teenager, she was my mental image for Hermione.

There's this distance to their relationship that makes it hard for me to buy them as a ship, and I don't think you have to love someone romantically to be worried about them when they get a nail through their eye (since "Nailed" tends to crop up a lot in shippy post-eps).
Exactly. It's perfectly normal to be worried about something as serious as getting a nail through one's eye happening without it meaning there's a romantic interest. And yes, I still see Speed's ghostly presence looming between Eric and Ryan, no matter how close they now are.

I feel a bit embarrassed about liking it because it's the CSI that everyone mocks
Well, just because there are things that are easy to mock (I agree with a friend of mine that you could play a drinking game with Horatio's poses alone) doesn't mean there aren't other things you can love about the show. Relationships and character development are still interesting to watch, I think.

Including when it's literally there! I did squee a bit when Eric hallucinated Speed, partly because despite never latching onto him the way I did Ryan I was glad to see Speed back, but partly because it was like a big sign from the producers saying "Yes, shipping this is absolutely right and proper". Hee.

Oh, I'm not saying there's nothing mockable about it, but whenever I talk about it I feel like I have to make sure everyone knows that I *know* it's a bit silly and like it anyway, rather than not being aware of the silliness. And hey, people write awesome fic for far sillier canons that Miami, so I don't know why I feel that way, but I do. *shrug*

Also, omg your icon. I really did laugh out loud. :D
