CSI:NY Spoiler Discussion - Bring on Season 6!

That's a good point. I happen to like mopey, emotional Danny, but I can see how that would be a drag on the show. Unlike Flack, who really is the suck it up and deal with it type, Danny will definitely be a wreck. I gotta admit, I enjoy Danny when he's in an emotional crisis, but I can see how that would be annoying for some. He really is pretty whiny. :lol:

 

Remember that rumor about Danny getting hurt and being in a coma? Maybe there's actually some truth to that and this is why they need a new CSI (to fill in for Danny) and then once Danny comes back to work, they decide to keep the new girl... If they do go the "danny hurt/comatose" storyline, I hope that if he's hurt badly enough, that they play it more realistically than when Eric (on Miami) was shot in the head and back to work the very next episode.

Well, I agree with you on this. Stella and Lindsay to me seem more like niece and aunt who only see each other on holidays. :lol: They haven't really bonded at all.

I really hope no one else gets killed off this soon. It would be overkill big time and especially if it was another female character after Angell's death. I do think there is a possibility that after the close call in the bar, Lindsay could decide to be a stay at home mom, at least for the first few years of Lucy's life. And if that happens, they'll probably put Lindsay on recurring status and have her only appear when storyline deems necessary or something. And she'll only appear as Danny's wife and the mother of his child... kind of like how Hotch's wife appeared sporadically on Criminal Minds.

As for who they could get to play the new character, I can't think of anyone in their 20s. :lol: The only ones I can come up with are in their 30s (or late 20s). :lol: I guess the actress wouldn't necessarily have to be in her 20s if she looks that young, the character could still be that young.

 

I agree that it would definitely be rushed if they killed her off at this point. If the whole thing hadn't been so rushed this season, that might be jarring, but they've gone from barely speaking--and from last season, him sleeping with someone else--to her getting pregnant, them getting married and her having the baby. That's a lot in the course of a season for a couple that wasn't really together the season before, and has always been rocky.

That being said, I think this is one of the strongest arguments for not killing Lindsay off...at least, not yet.

Another good reason, but I do think that Danny has been somewhat muted this past season. Let's face it: Danny is at his most interesting when he's suffering. Danny's most compelling storylines are Tanglewood/RSRD, Trapped, Snow Day and the Ruben arc in season four. None of those really involve Lindsay, and I think he's a less interesting character in this happy little family.

The haircut was a big mistake. She looked like she aged a decade between seasons three and four. Not sure if it was her call or the show's stylist, but it was a big mistake. They should let her grow it back and bring back the waves.

The show could definitely use some fresh blood, that's for sure!

I absolutely do love a good debate! That's why I'm here. Sure, looking at pretty pictures of Danny and Flack is fun, but I'd rather get into a honest-to-goodness discussion of an episode, a character or a plot twist any day of the week. I enjoy debating quite a lot, and just because I do it passionately doesn't mean I don't respect the person on the other side of the fence, or that I'm discounting their opinion.

I saw it as Lindsay making what happened to Stella about her. In the same way Danny's dumb wall punch in "Pay Up" frustrated me, Lindsay's reaction bothered me. What happened to Stella wasn't an excuse for Lindsay to act unprofessionally and storm out of an interrogation. She was being a drama queen, and I found that incredibly unsympathetic.

What I like about Stella is that she doesn't put up with Lindsay's BS. She's tried to be nice to her, but she's also someone who will call Lindsay on her bad behavior, like she did in "Silent Night." Lindsay strikes me as a hard person to befriend, so I would like to see the new girl be someone who is outgoing and gets along with everyone, even Lindsay. Lindsay could definitely use more moments to make her more sympathetic, so if the new character could bring that out, that would definitely be a plus.

 

^The show is definitely missing that sexy young female role. I think Lindsay was supposed to fill that, but Anna is not the sexy type, even when her hair was cut more attractively. I wouldn't even argue that Stella is--Stella has a certain elegant sex appeal to her, but it's different than what I think they're trying to go for with this new character. The show doesn't really have a female character like Catherine or Calleigh, that exudes both sex appeal and intelligence at the same time.

Danny's kind of the de-facto babe of the show, or at least he was before he got rid of the glasses and married Lindsay. That's taken a lot of the sexual oomph out of the character. Flack kind of stepped into that role, and has done so rather nicely, but he's a detective and not a CSI, and isn't on screen enough.

 

^Some bad math with the episode where her friends were killed. Lindsay was either 14 or 18 when that happened, putting her at 24 or 28 in the show's third season.

 

The season four haircut was what really aged the character. In seasons two and three, I would have put her at 28-30. But in season four she looked 40. Season five helped a little, but she still looks like she's in her late 30s.
