Re: CSI: NY Season 5 Spoiler Dicussion - Back in the Big Apple
Most of the upcoming spoilers sound great.
I'm so happy Hawkes is finally getting some more personal development, and a woman in his life. Even if it's nothing romantic, it's about time TPTB put a woman in Hawkes' life.
I'm looking forward to the Stella storyline too. It would be great if the finale revolved around her, though please no more psycho boyfriends. Also, while the Greek man storyline is intriguing, why do all Stella's major storylines seem to revolve around her being threatened/harmed/stalked by some creep? I mean, I agree with the people who say no one has as many people stalking/wanting to kill them as Mac does (and I'd also add, no one in real life gets themselves into as many messes as Danny
) but also, seriously, how realistic is it that one woman has as many crazy/violent guys come after her as Stella does? Maybe the Stella-storyline could be similar to Mac's Dobson one - Stella breaks some rules, and has to face the consequences. That would be interesting. Wasn't it mentioned in s1 that she'd had quite a few excessive force complaints lodged against her? They were probably made by creeps who deserved what they got, but still, it's an interesting angle.
I'm happy Stella's getting good storylines, and maybe even getting to be Rambo!Stella, but the persecution-by-bad-guys thing....again?
As a MacWhore, I am very happy a big Mac storyline is coming up, though as with Stella, it would be nice if it could be something that doesn't involve some crook (or his superiors) being 'after' Mac. The Reed story in s3 was an excellent example of a non-persecution storyline for Mac, and it'd be nice if they could do something like that again. Something to do with Claire perhaps, or maybe one of his old Marine buddies turning up involved in a case, and Mac having to deal with that. Big storylines don't always have to mean 'Danger! Persecution! Possible Doom!' they can be more subtle. Good examples are Hawkes' story in AHTYMA, or with his doctor friend earlier this season, or Flack and Sam, or Stella and her foster sister, Mac and Reed, Danny and Ruben. I like those more 'emotional/moral' based stories every once in a while.
As a Flack fan, I am equally delighted to see more coming on the Flack/Sam front. Love, love the idea of them and their issues.
Danny and Lindsay getting married...not my cup of tea. At all. But I'm happy with the other stuff, so I'm not that upset about it.
I have a question - is Rikki still coming back? If so, I hope she and Danny will have their own storyline(s) and she won't be simply 'the other woman' in D/L's relationship. The character is better than that.
