Yes, I see, and I do agree that in a series like this it’s better if the romance (and other relationship storylines as well) are more in the background or at least that the writers are judicious about when and how they explore it. I guess I’ve come to expect (or maybe I’ve just resigned...

I think it’s a challenge for the show to do this type of thing given its basic format and structure. Since the cases and work of the CSI’s are the centerpiece, most of the character interactions and relationships we see have to fit within (or extend from) that context. So while it might be nice...

I think some of my views on this topic are similar to Fruitbat's. Mac and Stella are two of my favorite characters on this series, and in general, I’ve enjoyed the way their relationship has been handled. I think they have strong chemistry, and for the most part, their interactions are...

Grade = C+ Overall, I thought there were only a handful of strong episodes and a few very weak episodes over the course of the season. The rest were clustered around the middle, with perhaps a few more above than below average -- hence, my grade. Not many standout, memorable cases and...

I gave three episodes A grades this season: "Enough" A- "Yahrzeit" A "Pay Up" A In the end, my vote went to "Yahrzeit." Considering the subject matter, I thought this episode had a higher bar to meet and also greater potential for failure. Despite those factors, the writer and...

Agreed. I took a quick look at some of my earlier reviews, and my absolute lowest grade of the season went to "The Box." The case itself lacked believability. (The husband kept the girl's body in his car for two weeks before taking it to the junkyard, along with the spoon and medical card...

Very late on this one, but thought I’d give my two cents anyway. Grade = A. This was one of the strongest episodes of the season – well-crafted with a good blend of action, drama, and character moments. Also good pacing and strong acting performances, especially from Eddie Cahill. He was...

I gave this episode a C. I can’t really say it was average because it was so different from the typical NY episode, but when weighing the good and the bad, I guess average sums up my overall reaction. Like other posters, I really wanted to like this episode because MK wrote it. And I...

^ Yeah, looks like that Mac/Stella scene is from the Greece episode. Stella's wearing the same dress as in the promo shots. That scene looks like it has potential for a blooper reel. Mac catches Stella and manages to stay upright while holding on to his gun. And it even looks likes he...

^ Maybe that scene is from the finale and the person shooting at Danny is the "Sniper" included in the credits. Danny, Flack, and Mac in vests dodging bullets...I wonder if that scene leads in to whatever the cliffhanger will be. I still think Danny will be the one in peril at the end...

Yes, that's pretty much how I saw it. I was actually a bit shocked at some of the language coming out of Mac's mouth, too, but I guess he felt like he had to take the hard line with Elgers and make him fear for his freedom in order to get any useful info. Well, as nel2h mentioned, Mac should...

Grade = A for the best episode of the season so far.... I agree the pacing was slower, but the material was compelling and held my attention throughout. There are probably a number of different routes the writers could’ve taken in depicting the Holocaust, but in the end, they were...

That's a very good point and one that is easy to overlook at times. This show has a specific format with the crimes/cases as the centerpiece, and many of the characters' personal moments tend to be connected to the case in question or somehow extend from it. They really don't do random...

I think Flack and Adam have had the most meaningful development this season (so far). With the introduction of Sam, the romance with Angell, and the wrestling/IAB episode, we got to see other dimensions of Flack. And even though they could've done more with the Sam and IAB storylines, I...

I think the rationale is probably along the lines of what Faylinn indicated. They are probably interested in seeing how CSI: NY performs with CSI as a lead in. If the CSI audience stays tuned in for the entire two hours, that could mean higher ratings for CSI: NY for the finale and possibly...

Mac: Intense Stella: Strong Flack: Dedicated Danny: Impulsive Lindsay: Diligent Hawkes: Steady Adam: Fun Sid: Quirky Angell: Confident

I'd think Flack would be one of the more popular characters with broad appeal across the various demos, so I can't really see them killing him off. And while I'd love to be proven wrong, still gotta go with Angell as the most likely death. Unless there is some major misdirection going on...

I gave this episode a grade of C-. I don't think it was the worst of the season but certainly a below average effort. There wasn't much suspense or action involved, and the amount of "talking" in the episode, especially conversations about evidence and the Mac/Dunbrook sparring, really...

Hope you are having a great birthday!

Maybe I mis-interpreted other spoilers, but I thought that the witness Angell is protecting in the finale (and who gets kidnapped) might be Dunbrook's son. And that is how Dunbrook would be brought into the finale. Not sure if that is really the case, though. But Yay for a new episode next...
