Re: CSI: NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - Solving Crime in the Empire

I'm just glad it won't involve Stella.

AMEN to that! Can't think of much of anything I'd rather not see on this show. But I've been pretty vocal about that so it shouldn't come as a surprise.

What I'm really curious about is how they're gonna handle the cliffhanger involving Danny and Lindsay. I really hope they do it justice and don't go the predictable, lame route with it.

I'd love for it to be something really cool, something psychological, something that we completely don't expect. The writers have an opportunity with the combination of Shane Casey and Danny Messer to do something really creative and I hope they go there...full speed.

Whoops! Posted twice in a row. Sorry about that.

Mac with a 'fro! :guffaw:

... and thank you, Lori K. :thumbsup: I'm in danger of smiley overload now.

I'm kind of torn 'bout this whole thing, to be honest. I don't mind Mac being in the center of attention (he is the main character, after all) but at the same time, I want a little more concentration on Sheldon, and at the same time, I want more time spent on Danny and Lindsay and their big finale, and at the same time ...

Ah, well. C'est la vie. It'll come to us when it's right, and we'll love it when it does.

Hey, I've got another question for you guys ... what exactly is a fandom, by the way? Obviously it's something to do with fans of something, but ... Thank you!

Re: CSI: NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - Solving Crime in the Empire

'Fandom' refers to fans and fan-related activities for a given tv show/book/movie/etc, I guess you could say. (Message boards, fanfiction, fan art, discussions, conventions - stuff like that all falls under the umbrella of fandom. By posting online like this, we're participating in the fandom community for CSI:NY - although fandom doesn't just refer to online activities, of course. )

I hope that made sense.

I think so - thank you, Faylinn! I'm just kind of new to all this TV-show-worshipping kind of stuff.

Re: CSI: NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - Solving Crime in the Empire

CSI: NY is a procedural show, but it's the most blatantly main character centric show I've ever seen. I get that Gary Sinise is a big gun, and so is Mark Harmon in NCIS. NCIS is Gibbs centric of course, but not like CSI: NY is with Mac.

...But. What. Sooooooo, you're telling me, for example, that Danny didn't get shot to start the season, and have an ongoing road to recovery. That it wasn't Sheldon, and in her own way, Lindsay, who gave Messer a kick in the pants on the way. Related, that Carmine didn't take the same opportunity that Gary and Melina did in previous seasons to write an ep and follow it thru. That Flack didn't have a multi-ep, extended disintegration that culminated not in Mac saving him but Terence. That Flack won't be featured prominently in 6.20's Unusual Suspects. That Stella didn't get to pull a page out of Mac's book and storm into a courtroom as the main figure swaying how the investigation and trial were to proceed, that she hasn't come across as more supervisory, even essentially running the show in eps like Uncertainty. That she won't be getting an upcoming ep that's big for her character in 6.18 (where she has yet another near-death experience ). That Sheldon didn't have an ep centered around his personal financial crisis due to fraud. That he's not in fact gonna be the one trapped in the prison with one character to reveal something more of the loss of his sister and another who's being brought back to the show to feature in the finale. That it hasn't been revealed that there will be a Danny/Lindsay twizt featuring in the End-Of-Season Cliff-Hanger.

...Yes, Mac gets material. And yes, I definitely get where yer all coming from where Mac's soap box and inherent personality as purveyor of justice etc. gets its own parking space :lol:. I do, really I do :lol:. I think there's more to him than being the Moral Man In An Immoral City, and that the writers could do better by him with regards to certain things. But honestly, I can't say as I think the show has exactly neglected everyone else this season.

Wow you post such a looooong replies I'm having trouble reading them because english is not my first language, but I love them! :lol:

I'm not complaining about that Mac getting all the material, because he's the main character after all. And I don't think other characters have been neglected. What I don't like is that their effort to highlight Mac is excessive and blatant most of the time. But I think you already know what I've meant.

I agree and as much as I love Gary I do enjoy the episodes where he stays in the background a little more. Not to often mind you!
But what I think we REALLY need is an episode about Adam and his dad with his dad or flashbacks there of.

I think this Peyton thing is just a tongue wagger. If it really meant anything why would Mac not be the first person she contacts while being back in the states? Or will she be "Lost" Sorry no matter who I ship I just could not warm up to her she seemed abit needy and self centered to me at least I dont see that with Aubry but then again only saw her in one episode.

Re: CSI: NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - Solving Crime in the Empire

Peyton shows up in 6.22 and there's 23 episodes this season, so it'll either get resolved very quickly or go into next season. People have made comments that Aubrey looks like Peyton (I don't see it other than they have the same color hair) so maybe Mac is attracted to Aubrey only because she reminds him of Peyton? That would pretty much suck, but I just thought of that being a possibility.

Ah, OK, somehow the exact numbers of episodes of S6 has escaped me; but yeah, either my wish gets granted and this story will be quickly resolved or like you said, they carry it into S7.
Hm, I´d rather say Aubrey and Peyton are completely different persons; but you never know, maybe you´re right and TPTB really got corny and came up with an "Aubrey reminds Mac of Peyton, and when Peyton returns he´s stuck in the middle and doesn´t know what to do"- soap .

I was actually thinking that would resolve the "triangle" really quickly because Peyton being back would make him realize he only asked Aubrey out because he still has a thing for Peyton so they'd get back together. A quick resolution, but sucky for people who like Aubrey.

I don't think they look alike, but I do think the writers have depicted a "Type," and that there could be a reason for it. Various possibilities are all overdone and soapish. What you've described, where he's still stuck on Peyton and hadn't realized it, or, in the scenario I earlier described on my :shifty: list, that they will try to capitalize on the parallel points in both (brunettes and docs) and use it in the plot. I do hope it's all contained in the one episode and that it's only personal scarring type fallout that might trickle into next season. If the show somehow and for some reason puts both Mac's triangle and DL as cliffhanger issues, the production offices will need a water cannon to get rid of all the suds.

Which leads me to:

Knowing Gary, it won't be soap-ish at all. I can't imagine that he would agree to this if it got too close to daytime drama. Of the entire cast he is the one that can put his foot down when it comes to his character, I would imagine.

...a pertinent point of consolation :lol:. Thank you. I hope this is the case.

Wow you post such a looooong replies I'm having trouble reading them because english is not my first language, but I love them! :lol:

:lol:

...yes, I know alienblush. I'm sorry :lol:. It's a chronic condition I battle. And I've gotten worse with the extended lulls between the airing of new episodes :lol:.

Having taken the trouble to slog through them, I'm very glad you find them at least entertaining

What I don't like is that their effort to highlight Mac is excessive and blatant most of the time. But I think you already know what I've meant.

Mallets. Big, heavy mallets, I agree. That's kinda what I meant when I said I think the writers could do better by him.

I'm just glad it won't involve Stella.

AMEN to that! Can't think of much of anything I'd rather not see on this show. But I've been pretty vocal about that so it shouldn't come as a surprise.

Agree.

I'd love for it to be something really cool, something psychological, something that we completely don't expect. The writers have an opportunity with the combination of Shane Casey and Danny Messer to do something really creative and I hope they go there...full speed.

This is another plot element I hope steers clear of suds. Especially as it is the cliffhanger. I hope it ties into the Shane Casey thing. And I really, really hope this could be a step to revitalizing Danny as a character.

I think this Peyton thing is just a tongue wagger.

:lol: I gotta agree here, but less in feeling it's particularly misleading (nothing much has been revealed) and more in that, with a bloody month between new episodes, the show would obviously love to find ways to keep people talking.

But what I think we REALLY need is an episode about Adam and his dad with his dad or flashbacks there of.

I think an ep where more of his history is shown would be great. AJ is a guy who took the smallest scenes and parlayed them into a really fun character. Imagine what he could do if they wrote something where he got more time and material to shine with. Sheldon and Flack got more attention this year, perhaps next year, Sheldon will get the other stories they've already started developing for him, and that Adam and Sid will also get more to do.

Adam's Dad definitely needs more work. Enough said.

very well said. if i'd got here earlier i would've said the same - as it is i'll just quote you

me too, i can't imagine gary agreeing to do anything *too* soapish, so i'm hoping he has had some input into keeping it on the right side of frothy!

Re: CSI: NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - Solving Crime in the Empire

Playing catch-up!

On the Sheldon-issue: I will say that one of the ways this season has delivered for me, has been on the material he's been given and the continuity for his character (aside from the no-love-interest, which I do agree would've fit perfectly into this season. More than Mac/Aubrey seems to at the moment. Oh, I can believe they're going somewhere with Mac/Aubrey/Peyton :lol:, I just don't see where at this point). I still wish for more, and for his development to have been a little less choppy; but comparatively TPTB have done pretty well on this front. Sheldon mentioned in "It Happened to Me" that he'd been asking for overtime, which is why it made sense that he was kind of a jack-of-all-trades this season when Sid/Adam/Lindsay were missing. It was a bit of continuity that I really liked -- especially with him covering the autopsies, it reminded me that technically, he's still registered as an ME.

On the Adam issue: his dad needs to be mentioned again, period (and dealt with, IMO, but I have zero faith that that's actually going to be handled :shifty. I really hope they do better on this front next season. What this season's made up for me in terms of Hawkes, it's directly counteracted with the lack of development for several other characters. Yeah, I know they can't do it all in one season

Well, your words in God´s, resp. TPTB´s ears , but it could well be the other way round and they give Peyton a story, e.g. she might be in some sort of trouble which involves Mac´s mysterious neighbour, and of course, Mac the super hero wants to help Peyton, which also makes him re-discover his old feelings for her, which in due course gets him trapped between his feelings for her and for Aubrey.

Re: CSI: NY Season 6 Spoiler Discussion - Solving Crime in the Empire

Oh ok, now I get it.

And I disagree, I think it *should* involve Stella. I'd love to see it myself...don't think it'd ruin things at all. The only trouble would be what I've said in the past, Mac might not consider it proper given his personal code and things like that. If that could be worked out, I think they'd make a great couple.
