Re: Danny/Flack #5 - Kinka-Poodles Don't Cuddle....Or Do The
Uuugh, the finale.
Did anyone else feel
terrible for Flack???
We don't get to see much of the phone scene--Danny calls Flack, Flack picks up and Danny says something like, "It's Messer. We've got a really bad problem." Something to that effect. Danny's just been beaten and it sounds like he's close to tears. Flack of course rushes to his rescue.
Flack brings a ton of cops with him, but he's running the operation. He's talking to the hostage takers and tries to trade himself for the hostages. Then he tries to talk to one of his men (obviously Danny
) and the hostage taker goes to kill Danny (or make Flack think he's going to) and Danny throws solution in his face (this seems to be Danny's get away move of choice--it reminded me of "Trapped" :lol: ). During this scene, Lindsay comes up, and if there was any doubt that there aren't warm and fuzzy feelings between her and Flack, I think this episode cements it pretty well. He doesn't even look at her when he tells her Danny's not doing too good, and is more or less ignoring her.
When they get in there, Danny is badly hurt and Lindsay beats Flack to him, and then pretty much comes between them. Flack tries to get Danny medical attention but Lindsay cuts him off saying she's got him. It's pretty clear in this scene that she doesn't care for Flack either--the dislike seems to go both ways. So Lindsay takes Danny away and Flack just kind of watches for a beat, but then he's got to get back to the lab because he realizes something is going down there (gas canisters are found in the back of one of the thug's cars). It's kind of like he's worried, but he's got to go. And Lindsay's pretty much laid claim to Danny.
I felt so incredibly bad for Flack! The poor man has to watch the man he loves go off with Lindsay after he did all the hard work. And it was Flack that Danny called--I'm sure the guys made Danny call the cops, but I love that Danny reached out to Flack specifically. And he called Flack's cell, not his line at the police department.
Danny knows who he can count on to save him.
Anyone got screencaps, either of Flack getting the call/Danny calling or the end? I wonder what's in store for next season. To me, it seemed obvious that Flack and Lindsay dislike each other, and it seemed equally obvious why: Danny. I'd love to see that played up next year. I think Flack should fight for his Kinkapoodle!
I have to admit, I'd be intrigued to see an episode where Flack and Lindsay are forced to work together to save Danny. It would be another Danny-in-danger episode, but hey, there's one of those every season.
Their dislike of each other is pretty palpable, and I'd love to see it played up and addressed.
Anyway, the finale was good, but not for our two boys, who are for now, being kept apart.
