Re: CSI: NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - Solving Crime in the Empire
New update from MegaBuzz
The video has a bit of a different answer for the CSI: NY question saying "a familiar lady makes her feelings for him known" and that it will be "shocking to fans"....
Meh.
Spin is spin is spin.
I was hoping another possibility would be Mac not faced with a decision between two people who are interested in him, but within a situation that have him forced to consider continuing a burgeoning personal involvement against greater circumstances, yada. Would be less interested if it is a love triangle issue.
Still. Quinn, for example, was a great character and was an interesting blast from the past for Mac, someone he worked with and had history with who came back to see what new possibilities might exist. (Not suggesting she's the one who will be involved this time around, just using her as an example). That was all done concisely and well, and was remarkably self-contained. If that is the genre of "choice" Mac has to make, that may be reasonably palatable.
What I really hope is that none of this relationship stuff occurs Within The Main Roster of Characters. It makes the show far too insular and compromises too much of what makes the show function. Bring in part-time or recurring or cameo characters to dabble and expand on characters' personal lives. That's in part why I wasn't so fond of the Adam/Stella encounter, cute as it was. Still and all, that was "shocking" to me in a eh wha? :wtf: fashion, as opposed to being stunned by the awesomosity of it's handling and the impact it had on the characters and the show.
Further, with only two women in the main cast, using one of them for that kind of personal plot twist wouldn't do much for them.
I am actually not, at this point, overwhelmed by any Romance overload. I think reasonably little has actually made it to the screen, for all the hype and hoopla. And so long as there are episodes that give us moments that expand on the characters in ways other than romance in addition to any potential romances, then there is hope for some balance as the show attempts to inject More Focus On The Characters into the run of the season. Flack's run in the early going was among the better. Sheldon sounds like he'll get a very good episode upcoming. Even smaller moments like Mac telling Stella about his childhood intrigue with cars and racing was fun. Similarly Lindsay, to be fair. Sid getting outside the morgue was also good. In some instances the glimmer they give us is such that I actually want to see just a tad more, when it's done well, cos it's a treat to have new nuggets doled out about the characters after five years. And if they don't, then they really do just serve as cardboard cutouts collecting evidence and processing, interchangeable with any other show. There have to be a few personal moments, but they need to be balanced.
For now, this does feel like a way to keep people buzzing about the show during a lull in airing. That's fun in the mean-time. As always, I'll hope for the best.
Could be if the writers actually gave us what we wanted for a change! *gasps* lol...hmmm
...cos, there's, like, such a consensus among viewers as to what We want...
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.
Haven't been able to see the vid yet. Am still hoping that there will be no M/S aspect to this at all, and that it is another character who makes an appearance, if it's a Triangle issue they're setting up.
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.
I hope they manage to get better as the season draws to a close, and manage a solid finale. The ratings have been decent, but I can't say I think most of the episodes have shone. I hope the ratings stay and the eps get better.
...crap. Outta time. Will be fun to come back and see what else people have had to say :lol:
