Re: CSI: NY Season 5 Spoiler Dicussion - Back in the Big Apple
Hm. Been awhile since I checked in here too. Had some catching up to do.
Faylinn:
Ah, so Gillian (Julia's character) will be the deputy inspector - I believe that was Gerrard's job before he killed the rapist last season. So it's good that she doesn't seem to be replacing Sinclair - I'd like to see more of him. (I'd like to have seen more of Gerrard too, but we can't get everything we want. )
I'm a bit disappointed that they react to her being Mac's first female boss by...having romantic sparks fly. I guess there's no such thing as a 'professional' relationship anymore. (Then again, I did joke about her being British and Mac having a thing for British women. )
I remember reading they were gonna bring in romantic interests for Mac, and also for Stella. Didn't know Mac's was also gonna be his boss. Sounds like TPTB are trying to cram in as many dramatic layers as possible. Does maybe feel a little contrived or convenient in the trade off though. I guess for me the interest will lie in seeing what the actors can do to elevate it.
Julia Ormand's in for three eps? Sounds like there's already a specific arc in mind.
I hope they don't just gloss over why the position's open. Gerrard executed his daughter's rapist in one of their Interrogation rooms. And Sinclair's been running things without him or anyone since. And Sinclair and Mac have had some interesting things happen between them already this season too that have changed dynamics somewhat. I'm curious how Sinclair sees things, if he selected her or if she was promoted or appointed. Hm. If Sinclair is further exposed when the thumbdrive theft is revisited, will they make her the Big Boss?
Curious if we'll ever hear more of Gerrard ever again. Well. I would be curious. If TPTB were ever reliable in following thrulines with little snippets from time to time.

From Kristin's Spoiler Chat:
Neila in San Jose, Calif.: Any scoop on Lindsay's pregnancy on CSI:NY?
Looks like the baby may just be a blessing for the rocky duo. Anna Belknap just told us: "I think they are surprised to find out the news, but they deal with it in a really loving, really honest way." Awww...yay!
A blessing for the rocky duo? My teeth hurt. Might need an Eppie pen too. Starting to itch.
A pretty predictable soundbite. TPTB wouldn't want to tarnish either character by having them be anything other than loving in light of a baby would they. But honest could be interesting. I hope it will be anyways. It's the only glimmer of light to make this salvageable.
How well any of this really loving honesty or really honest loving will come across 5.09 and onwards is another thing entirely too.

Spoiler report for 5.09 "The Box", aka the start of the baby drama.
The promo info indicates that there's a substantial scene devoted to Danny's previous baseball career and aspirations. And then that he 'bumps into Lindsay' while at the clinic on a case. So, my question is, will Danny's baseball past get more screen time than the Grand Revelation?

True, but when you throw in Carmine's artwork in Danny's apartment, the motorcycle and now the lack of glasses, those lines are getting really blurry.
Maybe he's supremely inverse-method acting?
Or could be just additional perks added in his rider to make things more palatable? Carmine's trying to get his band music used in an ep somewhere too... Hmmmm. :lol:
And thanks JellyBelly for the links to the 100th.
Hope all the cameos work well and aren't too distracting. Nelly will be fun back as Terence Davis again. I am looking forward to that episode. Far more than The Box.
