    CSI: NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - Solving Crime in the Empire City

    Re: CSI: NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - Solving Crime in the Empire Dropping Hawkes' development in favor of yet another Mac hookup and accompanying drama llama? Lame. The impending Messer family drama? Embarrassing. This has been the worst season of CSI:NY, period, and I don't see things...

    Grade 'Pot of Gold'

    "Pot of Gold" wasn't dreadful. In fact, it was a pretty solid hour of television. The case was intriguing, and for once, the writers succeeded in making Mac human. I like Mac. Or rather, I try to like Mac, but he's often so self-righteous and tight-assed that I want to punch him in the face...

    Grade 'Uncertainty Rules'

    I've got better things to do than sit here with you two all day." "Oh, I beg to differ." Ahahaha! You have fine taste, Mrs. Petrinski old woman. This episode could have been so much better if it hadn't been overshadowed by a cloying pall of Mactimony. I know that as a scientist, Mac is no...

    Grade The Formula

    For the first time in a long while, I have no major complaints about a CSI:NY episode. It wasn't mind-blowing, but it was entertaining, and no one ran into the frame and screamed, "Pudding!!" The crew chief and Mrs. Santos, who looked so despicable and shady, turned out to be sympathetic...

    Grade 'Sanguine Love'

    "Sanguine Love" sported some of the most beautiful cinematography in the history of the show, and if Carmine had any say in that, he should be allowed to walk around the set sans pants for the rest of his days. The aerial shots of the snow-covered city were lovely, and the hoarfrosted...

    CSI: NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - Solving Crime in the Empire City

    Re: CSI: NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - Solving Crime in the Empire If I recall, Professor P. didn't expressly deny paternity; he just gargled dramatically that he "loved her mother" and carked it before he could elaborate. Frankly, it's strongly implied in the episode that the Papakota...

    CSI: NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - Solving Crime in the Empire City

    Re: CSI: NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - Solving Crime in the Empire I don't think it's selfish at all to "accuse" Melina of writing a Stella-centric episode. She did, and it was a morass of indefensible drivel that would have gotten a fanficcer called out as a blithering Suethor. It...

    CSI: NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - Bright Lights, Big City

    And? Yes, Flack has lost much of the moral high ground by killing Simon Cade; only a fool would argue otherwise. However, we're not playing Top that Blunder. If we were, no one on CSI:NY would be able to rebuke anyone else, except maybe Sid or Adam. No, Flack isn't sinless, but his point...

    CSI: NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - Bright Lights, Big City

    I find the stolen badge storyline idiotic. I can well believe that Danny's badge might have been stolen. There are enough kleptos, druggies, and law-enforcement fanboys that I can see someone stripping Danny's locker bare and pawning the loot. I can also buy that insecure, paranoid, indecisive...

    Grade 'Flag on the Play'

    Normally, I have much to say about CSI:NY in the days after it airs, nitpicking and criticizing and exposing the holes in plot, logic, and continuity, but "Flag on the Play" was so inoffensive that there isn't much to say. The case wasn't riveting, but it was sturdy and serviceable, and I didn't...

    Grade 'Criminal Justice'

    As soon as I saw the opening scene of the episode, I knew exactly what I wanted to say, and I searched fruitlessly on Youtube for the video clip that would be the perfect mot juste with which to summarize the episode, and indeed, much of the series. Alas, Youtube failed me, and so I am left to...

    CSI: NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - Bright Lights, Big City

    Gary Sinise, the Mack Daddy of nepotism and Cronyism. Yeehaw.:rolleyes: I hope I'm wrong about Sophie Sinise, but this really is becoming the Gary Sinise Power Hour.

    CSI: NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - Bright Lights, Big City

    I'm probably in the minority, but I miss Flack in suits. It's nice to see him in more casual garb now and then, but the suit set Flack apart from the CSIs, and I miss it and the fugly ties.

    Grade 'Second Chances'

    Wait, so, Stella has only been out of college for ten years, fewer if she was talking to Mac about something that happened before her senior year? The same Stella who was thirty-three ir thirty-four in "Grounds for Deception, and who had been Mac's partner for ten years as of S1, which was in...

    CSI: NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - Bright Lights, Big City

    This is dreadfully Grinchy, but I just have to get this off my chest before my head explodes and my hemorrhoid makes me a human trackball, because it's been bugging me for three days. "Doing good gives me a boner, er, makes me rich." Hearing that from Mac Taylor makes me nauseated. If it had...

    CSI: NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - Bright Lights, Big City

    So, I'm the only one who wants to sit on Flack's lap and tell him what I want for Christmas? I would be a sad panda, but that means more for me. As for the synopsis for 612, please tell me they're not doing the "Flack planted evidence" routine.:p:p I doubt it; this sounds more like Haylen or...

    Grade 'Death House'

    This episode was like watching a live-action version of those tedious point-and-click PC mystery games like Myst. There was nothing inherently bad about it; it didn't, for instance, inspire the burning need to hurl rocks at my television, but there was remarkably little tension for what...

    Grade "Manhattanhenge"

    The CSI:NY writers are like sexually inexperienced teenage boys. They know how the act of making out, er, writing a good story should go, but they have absolutely no clue how to put that nebulous and grandiose intuition into practice. They know a good serial killer arc needs a steady, meaty...

    Eddie Cahill #5: Charismatic Brilliance

    I finally watched The Narrows. I'd been procrastinating because Vincent D'Onofrio's thespian gruntings aren't my idea of a good time, but I eventually succumbed to the lure of seeing Eddie Cahill as someone other than Mr. Nice Guy. In that, I wasn't disappointed, though Eddie still exuded a...
