I have never been so glad to be wrong about an episode in my life. I fully expected last night's episode to be a clinic in Mactimony, fraught with judgment and self-righteous indignation that would make me want to bludgeon myself with a tire iron to escape the pain. What I got was a Mac who put...

Oh, I'm sure Flack would flip his nut and bitch and whine, but he's obviously incapable or unwilling to admit he's Not Okay and might need a firm nudge that doesn't involve physical intimidation. I'd be in favor of Mac locking himself in a room with Flack and telling him that he can either get...

Mac has no business pushing Flack against the wall. None. Zero. If you can't get through to your friend by any other means than assaulting them(and yes, it is assault, no matter how mild), then you have no business being in a position of authority. The police arrest people for shoving; why...

Is it wrong that I want Flack to punch Mac in the face? He's right; Flack is a mess and needs to get his head straight, but him getting grabby and physical just rubs me wrong. Yes, the Compass Killer is a Big Deal, but that doesn't give him the right to push a co-worker. This reeks of yet...

I'd be lying if I said I'd spent the day trying to think of a single word to describe last night's episode of CSI:NY. I didn't have to spend that much time or energy on the subject because the appropriate response become readily apparent the second Ray Langston stepped off the chopper(And don't...

Wow, she looks ready to pop. Congratulations. I bet the baby will be adorable.

I loved Hawkes last night. I did. Hill Harper didn't waste his time to shine, and Sheldon wears angst almost as prettily as Flack does. However, I, the self-proclaimed tightass queen of Pedant Mountain have a few issues to ponder. During his Lesson of the Week Speech(at which Mac and Flack were...

Nggggh. I need an underwear fan... Mmmm.

Mmmm, scruffy Eddie... The Narrows is now available for pre-order on Amazon and will be released on November 3rd. You better believe I put it on my wish list and will be ordering it as soon as I can afford it. I love sweet Flack, but it's nice to see Eddie stretching his wings with darker...

Dear CBS, I realize you're trying to be down with the kidz, yo, but did we really need an hour five minutes of nothing but l33t breakdancing(screw you, you trendy young whippersnappers, it's breakdancing, dammit)? That segment was so boring that I nearly changed the channel to escape the tedium...

Dear Hawkes, Permit me to erect a statue to your awesomeness in my backyard and do my Boobie Dance of Joy in honor of your beautiful smackdown of Danny "Woe Is Me" Messer. Danny deserves compassion for his pain and struggle, certainly, but he also needed a kick in the ass. Danny is often most...

So, CM is pimp-slapping CSI:NY con brio. God bless it. It deserves to slap, because CM is a fantastic example of attention to detail and continuity.

Given that the writers have been penning the episodes with the dribblings from their asses for the past few seasons, I'm hardly surprised, nor do I have much sympathy.

Dear CSI:NY, Just because your director and cinematographer are devoted Criminal Minds fanboys who aren't above stealing their techniques, that doesn't make them capable of delivering an episode the quality of most Criminal Minds fare. Why? Because every evildoer, no matter how unhinged or...

You just *had* to inject a heaping dollop of Mactimony into what was promising to be one of your better episodes, didn't you, CSI:NY? Until Mac's closing speech, which I'm sure was designed to reinforce--for the billionth time his blinding awesomeness and utter moral rectitude--I thoroughly...

Mmm, but given TPTB's past track record of failing to give viewers a hint of a character's slow deterioration, I'm not convinced the revelation that Flack is no longer doing his job effectively or safely or to his previously high standard won't be sprung out of nowhere. I'm betting Flack's CO...

Flack's personal problem(alcoholism) Since when? So, grieving your girlfriend's violent murder by drinking too much makes you and alcoholic and a "chronic screw-up? Guess they've retconned the perfect service record into oblivion. Fuck you, TPTB.

~sigh~ I don't think I'm properly explaining my perspective, and so I think I'm going to step away from this before emotions get in the way of my argument.

I might buy the argument that Danny was unkempt because he was depressed if he hadn't managed to be clean and tidy during his slow collapse over Reuben's death. He was clearly devastated and depressed then, yet he managed to be reasonably clean. Ergo, I can only assume his unkempt appearance...

It's not a matter of looking sexy; it's a matter of looking presentable. If Danny is still so depressed by his condition that he can't be assed to bathe or comb his hair or put on a clean shirt, then the last place he needs to be is out in the field around danger or in the lab with evidence...
