Re: CSI: NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - Solving Crime in the Empire
Wow, the Hawkes prison episode sounds like it could definitely be a good one – the type of scenario that could really bring Sheldon to the forefront and give him an opportunity to shine in a way the other Hawkes-centric episodes haven’t done before. Lots of potential for action as well as strong character moments...and I will be curious to see how this ties in with the Shane Casey storyline.
I also notice Zachary Reiter, one of the show's writers, is directing. Interesting! I wonder if it's his first time in the director's chair...
Good for Zachary Reiter that he is getting a chance to direct! I hope this doesn’t mean he’s leaving the writing pool, however. He’s written(or co-written) some of the strongest NY episodes over the last few seasons (
Admissions, Enough, Pay Up, Cuckoo’s Nest), and I think it would be a loss writing-wise if he’s out of the rotation.
Re: the latest spoilers, in my simplistic view, the lady in question is most likely Stella because the question was about Mac
and Stella, and to me, the “very” familiar label seems to refer to Stella or Lindsay. I can’t see it being Peyton for a variety of reasons, and none of the others are that familiar.
Like others, my initial thought is that some situation will occur which forces Mac to choose between his new relationship with Aubrey and his friendship with Stella. But that video seems to suggest that the mystery lady actually has some non-platonic feelings for Mac, which sounds like a love triangle of sorts. So, if it’s Stella, my guess is that in her newfound “spontaneity” (and perhaps because of another brush with death), she will somehow declare her feelings for Mac. However, Mac will then default to the “We can’t be together right now because
insert favorite reason (we work together/I’m your boss/Sinclair will go ballistic). This scenario will then allow the writers to play out their variation of the “will they/won’t they” dynamic over the duration of the series.
I do wonder about the remaining schedule and whether the breaks will impact the ratings negatively. After that dip at the start of the season, seems like NY ratings have come back to a relatively strong level. But I think I read somewhere that Law & Order: SVU will start airing opposite CSI NY in March and that potentially could draw off some of the NY viewers. Also, if my math is right, they will only have seven episodes left after the Olympics break, so if the season ends in mid-May as last year, looks like there could be some other break(s) as well. Hopefully, they can maintain the current level and maybe even end on a high note if the finale really shapes up to be of “Snow Day” caliber.
