The only one I've ever seen Lindsay have an ounce of chemistry with is Mac. I did like the joking around between Flack and Lindsay over Laughing Larry, but I thought that was more of a flash in the pan than par for the course. He seems irritated by her long-windedness, and she's talked down to him before (something Flack doesn't seem to appreciate).
I forget too easily how much you dislike Lindsay and how that often colors your perception of every action she does and every interaction she has with characters.
She's no more long-winded than any of the other characters, and Flack tends to get impatient with
all the CSIs when they don't just out right say what he wants to know. Irritated is a strong word to describe Flack's reaction to Lindsay -- especially when you consider what an irritated Flack really looks like.
When did Lindsay talk down to Flack? I can't recall anything right off the top of my head at the moment, but then again it's 3 a.m. and my back is shooting all kinds of interesting spikes of pain, so I might be missing something.
And that's the only way I really see them relating. They kind of came together out of necessity in "All in the Family," but there wasn't a lot of warmth there. Same with "Snow Day." He didn't seem pleased when she literally dragged Danny away from him when he wanted to get Danny help. I think the only significant thing they have in common is that they care deeply for Danny.
Eh, difference in perspectives again. I think they were fine in "All in the Family" together. Don looked and acted tired when Lindsay went after him, and I think that played into some of their interaction. I just re-watched the episode like fifteen minutes ago, so it's pretty fresh in my mind.
"Snow Day" I haven't watched for a while, but I don't think Flack cared that Lindsay took Danny to the medics. He simply looked concerned about Danny to me.
I kinda get the feeling Flack and Lindsay try to like each other for Danny's sake, and it's sometimes successful and sometimes not. I've noticed him irritated by her on several occasions--"Snow Day," the flower speech. And then of course there was his apparent pleasure at Danny pissing her off.
I don't think Flack and Lindsay try to like each other; I think that they genuinely have fun when they get rolling on a particular subject. "A Daze of Wine and Roaches" is a good example where they both snicker over Danny's lack of taste in wine. Her teasing of him in "People With Money" he tries to act annoyed but he can't stop that grin from tugging at the corner of his mouth, and he definitely laughed at her block party statement in "Charge of this Post".
I agree that it's definitely more blatant there. I think Flack was raised to be polite to women and he is for the most part. I can't see him being outright rude to Lindsay, unless she endangered Danny or something like that.
I agree that Flack was probably raised to be polite to women, but I think if Lindsay bugged him he'd definitely be more open about it. Besides, Flack isn't rude to Hawkes. He's just not as easy-going with him as he is with other members of the team.
All of the characters are shorter than Flack--it doesn't stop him from making eye contact with them. The scene in the lab in "All in the Family" when they're running Ruben's funeral program is a good example of how Flack avoids eye contact with her.
Nah, he looks at Lindsay quite often. His eye contact is only really constant when he's staring down a suspect or when he's getting annoyed with one of his co-workers. He looked her straight in the eye numerous times in this scene but as is usual for Flack, his gaze flickers away a few times and then he makes contact again. He does that a lot with most of the characters.
I still find it fascinating how we view things so differently. :lol:
