if it is the scene when Danny crys into Mac's shoulder that ur talking about,then i've that scene...on CBS.com...other then that that,i've not seen RSRD yet...but i do agree with u...that scene was indeed powerful and moving...
The second season for NY jus premiered here about a month ago..So i've only seen the 1st few episodes...

Ah, well, I think you'll enjoy RSRD when it comes around. :) It shows their relationship has grown somewhat, while also getting back to some of that tension (in a small way) between them.

I also enjoyed watching the 1st season...and the tension between the two was why i enjoyed the show immensely...two idealists struggling for one cause-justice-but using different methodologies...

I loved that, too--Mac and Danny obviously both have good intentions, but they differ in how they approach cases, people and evidence. Danny likes to go on his gut more and Mac is all about the evidence. I loved when they would clash over that last season.

Interestingly, even though I knew Mac was right, more often than not I sympathized with Danny, because of his earnestness and good intentions. Danny wasn't pushing the envelope because he's ambitious or competitive--he genuinely cares about the people affected by the cases he works, and Mac's opinion of him.
 
that one scene when Danny cries into Mac's shoulder was enough for me to realise that their relationship had deepened beyond that of boss-employee...


The clash is what made the season so interesting...
Guts vs Evidence....
Mac knew better than to get involved personally...Personal involvement somewhat marrs him...Mac wants to be impartial about the case..
Danny however,could not help himself due to his street-level attitude and mentality(i'm refering to his somewhat troubled background-tanglewood,his dad)..

In other words,Danny cannot get used to Mac's "sterile",if i may,way of working...And Mac cannot tolerate Danny's way of working...The more personally involved Danny becomes,the harder it is to be impartial..Mac is right in that sense..
 
<sigh> now I can't wait to see RSRD! Season 2 just started here... just had episode 6.
Awesome interview, by the way. Absolutely great. It clearly showed Carmine's soul, passionate and intense. Enjoyed reading it so much, I finished it in record time!
 
Lu_saqui,neither have i seen RSRD!
I'm in spore and the 2nd season just started here as well...
we'll just have to wait...patience,my friend,patience...
 
Glad you liked the interview, lu_saqui! :D

I think with Mac and Danny it comes down to the old 'man of reason vs. man of feeling' debate. Mac is all logic and reason, and is mostly able to shut his emotions out. Danny is the opposite--he really does struggle with putting his emotions aside in every case. I love watching them clash!
 
Reasons or feelings?
Reasons or feelings?
Mac or Danny?
Mac or Danny?
Its always this line running thru my mind whenever i watch NY..
we all know the reason why...
Danny is the hothead...
Mac is the boss,the calm(calm,but nevertheless intense) one(one could almost go to the extent of calling Mac the enlightened one!!)..
Heat or intense calmness?
It's a tough decision ,i tell ya!!
 
I love that dynamic between them, how they're at such opposite ends of the spectrum. And yet, they also relate so well to each other. Mac cares so much about Danny, his progress as a CSI, and his emotional state. Danny craves Mac's approval and admiration so much. They really do have a father-son dynamic.
 
i guess we can definitely say that the phrase "opposites attract" is absolutely true...haha...
its their opposition to each other's characters that makes them so attractive to us viewers...
true,they do have that father-son dynamic to them...
it is always good to watch them...
 
^Definitely. And it's a nice contrast to Danny's friendship with Flack, too. While Flack is pretty much unilaterally supportive of Danny--the two never seem to clash--Mac is constantly (especially in the first season) on Danny's case, making sure he's using the evidence and not his gut in his work.
 
Yes...I have noticed that aspect about Flack...I suppose its that age-group thing--the two ,on screen,appear to be of the same age-group...The young ones are sticking together..Perhaps,perhaps not...


Well,Mac has to be sure he made the right choice...He had to supervise...
I clearly recall Mac telling Danny in a season 1 eppy that everyone was against Mac's hiring of Danny...
 
Flack and Danny are pretty different in that Flack is very much by the book and Danny's the rebellious one, the one who always seems to find himself in trouble. I love that they're so different and still such good friends.

I hope that gets explored some more, why Mac was told not to hire Danny. I'd love to know who the person (or people if there was more than one) was who told Mac not to hire Danny. Danny's obviously a bit of a hothead, but what about Danny or in Danny's file made someone tell Mac he might not be a good fit for the lab. Could it have something to do with Danny's family, if they do have mafia connections (his father, not just his brother)? Or was it just his explosive temper and generally rebellious nature?
 
Everyone likes to have opposites...Differences made the two more interesting than normal..


I think everyone would like to know why Mac was advised against..
I too would like to know who it was..Remains a mystery till today...
Whose fault is it?
Danny himself?His background?
We,the viewers,shall never know the true reason if the writers do not delve into that aspect of the show..And,given the current way the season is headed...
But it's still too early to say anything...Its only the second season!!
 
^I'm hoping they will delve into the background. The ongoing tension between Mac and Danny has been one of the most interesting things about the show, and it will be interesting to see how that plays out as Danny matures. It is only the second season, so there's plenty of time to delve into it. But I hope that it comes up again at some point when maybe Danny is a little more mature. I bet it still eats at him, knowing that someone told Mac not to hire him. Knowing Danny, he's not going to let that go easily. I bet it will come up again at some point.
 
I'd wager you're right...It has to come...Danny's too important a character not to delve into that...So far he's been keeping it control but what the future seasons have in store for us,we can't tell...
He's definitely maturing..And it definitely will be nice to see him progress...How he measures himself and his relationship with Mac...
 
^I think he'll continue to mature, but he won't be the Danny the fans have come to love if he's just a good little CSI doing his job. Danny's the rebel, the problem child, and that element needs to flare up now and then to keep things interesting. I'm sure cases are going to come up in the future that get under Danny's skin. And there's always a panic room somewhere for him to get locked in. :lol: ;)
