    Grade 'Forbidden Fruit'

    If Angell is the primary detective on the Diakos case, then why did Stella take it upon herself to orchestrate this fake coin operation with the counterfeiter? Yes, Angell was there, but the scene read and played as if Stella were the officer in charge of the investigation. If Angell is...

    CSI: NY Season 5 Spoiler Discussion - Back in the Big Apple

    Re: CSI: NY Season 5 Spoiler Dicussion - Back in the Big Apple I know what it's like to be fiercely protective of fictional characters, and I've often viewed the actions of the characters I favor in the best possible light. For example, I'm a lapsed Snapeist, but when I was actively involved...

    Grade 'Forbidden Fruit'

    Oh, dear God, NY has begun to adopt Miami's cracktaculous production values. The grainy, comic-book stock quality of the herky jerky opening chase scene did not, alas, inspire thoughts of Sin City or 300, but rather reminded me of the efforts of a university Communications and Television...

    CSI: NY Season 5 Spoiler Discussion - Back in the Big Apple

    Re: CSI: NY Season 5 Spoiler Dicussion - Back in the Big Apple Fascinating is not the word I'd use to describe this chain of events. "Maddening" would be more appropriate. Lindsay refuses Danny's proposal in 510, thereby displaying her first ever modicum of maturity and common sense, but by...

    Grade 'The Triangle'

    Mentioned or not, the rules exist, and for good reason. And since the show purports to be based on the NYPD and uses NYPD protocols whenever it suits it, it's not unreasonable to wonder why the rules of fraternization are so blithely ignored. Want to bet they won't be when it comes to the...

    Grade 'The Triangle'

    Before I start banging my head on the keyboard in abject frustration and enumerating the myriad instances of absolute fail in this episode, I'd like to start with the one pleasant surprise of the night: Lindsay Monroe showed a flash of maturity. There. I said it, and you bet your ass I'm...

    Grade 'The Box'

    "She knows his morals"? I don't see how. Danny and Lindsay have a terrible track record when it comes to communication, and it clearly hasn't gotten any better. I doubt they've played the "What would you do if...?" game while canoodling on his couch or toilet or anywhere else. Lindsay is a...

    Grade 'The Box'

    I don't think anyone is saying that Danny shouldn't shoulder his share of the blame for the deterioration of their invisible relationship, or that Lindsay shouldn't have serious misgivings about this. Of course she should. However, while it might not be all about Danny, the writers have gone...

    Grade 'The Box'

    There were so many problems with last night's episode that I might seize trying to articulate them, and it's a pity because when I saw Danny talking to an unknown individual in what looked like a grotty little room, I thought that perhaps he was talking to Louie, or Flack, or his parents. Maybe...

    Grade 'My Name is Mac Taylor'

    God, what an underwhelming episode of CSI:NY. I knew things were going to be eye-rollingly squiffy when the opening shot was the number 100 frosted prominently onto the glass door. Very subtle, there, NY. I bet the AV/Drama Guild/Glee Club of Beverly Hills High is just chuffed that you took...

    Grade 'Dead Inside'

    Samantha Flack can guest star any time she wants. Flack received more development in one episode than he has in the previous ninety-seven episodes in which he has appeared. We've seen Flack the cop for five years, but here we saw Flack the man and older brother. He was recognizable but also...

    And there go the bra straps. The drawers will be down by the time the chestburster of 510 rears its ugly head.

    CSI: NY Season 5 Spoiler Discussion - Back in the Big Apple

    Re: CSI: NY Season 5 Spoiler Dicussion - Back in the Big Apple Of course Danny ditched the glasses. We can't have Lindsay robustly tapping the ass of a man with such an egregious physical defect. Everyone in CSI:NYland must be perfect and devastatingly hot. I bet none of them lets one rip...

    Grade 'Enough'

    Dear Mac, Maybe if you hadn't blown up the lab in S3, necessitating millions of dollars in reconstruction, you wouldn't have a budget crisis. Once again, Mac Taylor's megalomania has reached frightening proportions. I'm thrilled that Mac took up the charge on behalf of Adam Ross and six other...

    Episode 706 "Wrecking Crew" ***CONTAINS SPOILERS***

    Oh, CSI:Miami, never stop rowing that failboat. You do it with such panache. The case was predictable but entertaining, and I enjoyed it despite all the histrionic melodrama. I was especially thrilled to see Horatio dusting of the white labcoat for a case not involving his sniveling...

    CSI: NY Season 5 Spoiler Discussion - Back in the Big Apple

    Re: CSI: NY Season 5 Spoiler Dicussion - Back in the Big Apple If the Flack spoilers are true, I've no doubt that Eddie will take the story and run with it and showcase his tremendous range and skill as an actor. If it's done right, it could easily earn him an Emmy nomination, or at least a...

    CSI: NY Season 5 Spoiler Discussion - Back in the Big Apple

    Re: CSI: NY Season 5 Spoiler Dicussion - Back in the Big Apple Why, oh, why, do I have the sinking feeling that Mac is "in trouble" again, or that Flack will be investigated for shenanigans involving his sister? The first possibility has been bludgeoned to death, and the second could be...

    "Let It Bleed" Discussion *SPOILERS*

    Dear CSI, I have been fooled by your promos for the last time. This week, you promised me a final scene that would "haunt" me. What it did was make me wonder if I weren't a budding narcoleptic. "Let It Bleed" was a ponderous, rambling, disjointed episode that bored me to the verge of...

    Eddie Cahill #5: Charismatic Brilliance

    As far as I know, Eddie only blogs during the NHL playoffs. It's what he's done for two years, so this is no different, and he's certainly not bailing on the Rangers or being a bad fan because he doesn't moon after their box scores on the Internet.

    Grade 'The Cost of Living'

    That's two strong showings in a row for CSI:NY. Maybe it was because Mac was in a more supervisory role while the rest of the team took front and center, but this case was firing on all cylinders. I'm on tenterhooks about Stella's Greek consulate storyline and want to know why Mr. Tall, Dark...
