    Danny & The Blue Flu

    Mm. I could swear the walkout was well underway by the time Danny did his volte face. Mac was discussing the effects of it with Stella before the deputy mayor fell, and Danny showed up to the scene. I got the impression that the action had been going on for most of that day, if not several days.

    Danny & The Blue Flu

    I'd buy that reasoning if Danny were the sole breadwinner for the "family", but he isn't. In fact, Lindsay was busting her hump double-time to make up for his "stand." And if you're taking a "stand", as Danny claimed, why not admit it openly instead of hiding behind a spectacularly lame...

    Danny & The Blue Flu

    I apologize in advance if this review is largely incoherent, but such are the lingering effects of the minor head trauma I suffered because of chronic headdesking during last night's episode. I just...I can't make excuses for the show anymore. After five years, the characters' histories should...

    Grade 'She's Not There'

    If I were limited to one word with which to describe last night's CSI:NY, it would be: boring. Aside from the gut-wrenching scene in which the missing daughter told her dead father how much she loved him, and how she knew he would come for her, "She's Not There" was a flaccid, uninspired slice...

    CSI:NY Season 5 Spoiler Discussion - This City Never Sleeps

    I love it when Kristine interviews Eddie. The man really puts thought into his answers. I didn't agree with everything he said, particularly about Flack's relationship with Angell, but I am biased in that regard. I loved his assessment of Flack being an arm's-length guy, though, and his...

    CSI:NY Season 5 Spoiler Discussion - This City Never Sleeps

    Maybe I'm just grumpy this afternoon, but I don't really give a damn that it's personal to Julia Ormond. I might, if she were sticking around for more than three episodes, but since she likely isn't, this just reeks of celebrity proselytizing and yet another blatant attempt at relevance by the...

    CSI:NY Season 5 Spoiler Discussion - This City Never Sleeps

    I suspect it's something Eddie asked for, since he seems to be very proud of his Irish heritage and an enthusiastic student of its history and culture. Flack has already mentioned that his mother made a mean corned beef hash, so for all we know, Mama Flack could've taken great pains to pass on...

    CSI:NY Season 5 Spoiler Discussion - This City Never Sleeps

    I would love to see the show feature a long-term story arc that spanned more than three episodes, but I don't think the writers have the talent or creative tenacity to pull it off. They're so interested in getting to the end so they can scream, "Tada! GOTCHA!!" that they take numerous...

    CSI:NY Season 5 Spoiler Discussion - This City Never Sleeps

    Well, at least Angell is with Stella being an actual detective and not barricaded in the precinct bathroom with Flack, demanding to know if she left her diaphragm at his place last night.

    CSI:NY Season 5 Spoiler Discussion - This City Never Sleeps

    Oh, yay, more "hot moments". Just what I wanted. I think one more "hot moment" between Flack and Angell will be my last moment of watching CSI:NY. For God's sake. Does anyone else remember when this show boasted good writing and interesting characters rather than relying on stunt casting and...

    Grade 'Rush to Judgment'

    -I forgot to mention this in my review, but I adored the scene in which Flack calmly stopped, put down his pen, and tore up his official statement before asking for his union rep. It's such a vastly different response from Danny's in "On the Job." Flack wants to clear his name just as badly...

    Season 5 Ratings

    Obviously, I can't say with any certainty that the inclusion of the pregnancy is the reason for the drop in ratings. Alas, I'm not a walking Nielsen box. However, I don't think it's a stretch to say that the decision to include the pregnancy caused initial plans for the season to be...

    Season 5 Ratings

    I was on tenterhooks for "Rush". On the one hand, I was fully prepared to be righteously indignant on my favorite character's behalf and froth at those bad old IAB agents impugning his integrity, and on the other, I was thrilled that Eddie would have something to do. I was sure he'd bring all...

    Season 5 Ratings

    I honestly wish I'd been wrong about it. As much as I bitch and yowl, I like the show and want it to succeed because it boasts so many fine actors. It had so much potential, but you can only coast on promise for so long before you're expected to deliver. Early S5 indicators seemed like the...

    There went the bra straps and the underwear. Maybe even the shippers are getting burnt out on the shippiness, or maybe the atrocious writing is finally catching up with them. Even the most rabid shippers have standards...

    Grade 'Rush to Judgment'

    I liked the episode. Let's get that out of the way right now, because I have issues with the episode's presentation, and by the time I'm done ranting and raving and waggling my baboon-red ass at the PTB for everything that burned my cheese, I'm afraid that truth might be lost. So, I liked the...

    CSI:NY Season 5 Spoiler Discussion - This City Never Sleeps

    Woe. I must be tragically unhip, for I have no idea Pete Wentz is, and Ashlee Simpson makes me want to weep for the dangerously diluted definition of "talent." Sometimes I wish Eddie Cahill would sever ties with the show so that I wouldn't feel beholden to its endless streams of shoddy...

    Grade 'Help'

    Let me get this straight: The FBI determines the DNA protocols for the New York City crime lab? Since when? When, pray tell, did NYC become a protectorate of the federal government? I'm not saying that the FBI doesn't have an influence over DNA protocols in New York; my knowledge of...

    CSI:NY Season 5 Spoiler Discussion - This City Never Sleeps

    In other words, Mac is once again a posturing, egomaniacal hypocrite. Because Mac has never, ever pursued cases in which he has a personal stake. Oh, well, except for when Hawkes was framed for murder by Shane Casey, or the attack on Reed Garrett in his dorm, or when Reed was kidnapped by the...
