Hmm, I wonder if it has to do with the fact that, with people like Moran and Truby, Flack was aware of their mistakes after-the-fact--but with Danny, he feels like he can help avoid the life-altering (and career-shattering) mistakes before they happen...

Yeah, I think so too. He wanted to help Danny avoid making a mistake while still seeing if he could help Danny solve the problem in his own way. That really is a true act of friendship because we know how much Flack believes in doing things by the book.

I think it's also an important fact that Flack doesn't seem to blame Danny at all for what happened to Ruben. Maybe he does blame him on some level and just doesn't want to say it, I dunno--but outwardly, he's trying to get Danny to move on, and he was definitely scared that Danny had gone after Ollie in the beginning.

I honestly don't think he does blame Danny at all. It's interesting--someone, La Guera maybe?--brought up in the grading thread that Flack seems to cut fellow officers slack and I wonder if that's part of it. He also cuts Danny a lot of slack at all times, so that could be a factor, too. Either way, I think he also would have done the exact same thing Danny did with Ruben--Flack would have sent the kid home, too, I think. So maybe he can sympathize there.

Maybe when he saw the gun missing and the info about Ollie, he saw the road Danny could end up taking and was his usual stubborn-ass self and determined not to let Danny screw his life up the way he'd seen other people do...

I definitely think that's part of it, too--he was visibly relieved when he saw Danny wasn't going after Ollie on a vengeance quest.
 
I have to say Flack has grown in my book from s1 he just has so much going for him.

I felt like he has seen Danny do the stupid things like "On the job" and his almost short fuse that he knows it will in the end in loosing his job and he knows how much it matters to him. I think he doesn't to see him loose what's good.

I agree wit hyou TOP on Flack when he sees Danny isn't going after Ollie, you could almost see him thing thank you he has some sense but he still knows its not over.

I always think Flack and possibly Mac are the only people who will get through to Danny in those sort of situation. And Flack seems to know the "tough love" approach giving him the ultimatums and making sure he didnt do any damage when he punched the guy is his way of protecting him.

^ This is an interesting discussion, I'd really like to see the team rallying round for Flack. Last night Flack proved, once again, that he is the man to go to, the one who can always be relied upon, and that for his friends he will do pretty much anything! Yet he still has a strong moral and ethical code and obviously believes in upholding the law. If anything I was hoping for a little more compassion from him, yet his tough love approach clearly worked! ;)

Anyway, here's some pretty:

Flack believes in the badge!

His concern for his friend

This man has the prettiest eyes in like the whole world! :cool: :D
 
If I didn't know about NY's sorry record of continuity, I might be tempted to think that this was a good extension of "On The Job". Flack tried to reason with Danny, be firm yet sympathetic, but Danny was too wound up to listen. He walked out on Flack and Flack let him go. I suspect that, in hindsight, Flack would have regretted not going after Danny. Given the near disastrous results of Danny's impulsiveness on that occasion, I can see Flack reflecting on what he did wrong and how he should have handled it. Flack may even have felt that he let Danny down.

4.13 must have been a very unpleasant flash-back to that incident. Flack would have been painfully aware of what an emotionally-charged and revved-up Danny can do and how irrationally he could behave in this state. It's no wonder that Flack was so very determined to find him before he could do something he would later regret. Even when he found Danny, he didn't relax, but ensured that Danny understood the lay of the land. No misunderstandings, but very clear and explicit instructions, despite Danny's unhappiness. There would time for gentleness later, once Danny was no longer in danger of screwing up his life.

Poor Flack (as well as poor Danny). :( Danny so owes him big time for this and, hopefully, once he's calmed down, he'll realise this.

I also agree with Faylinn and Top41 about Flack's previous experiences with Moran and Truby informing his decisions. Being able to divert Danny before he could irrepairably damage his life and career would have been very much a priority.

Flack is very much a caretaker and this is reflected in his actions. He is also a believer in taking responsibilty for your actions, so he wasn't going to just let Rikki walk away. The thought of having to arrest Danny must have haunted him big-time. He would have, but it would have hurt him badly.

Ooooh, fantastic point about continuity! I don't know if the writers were going that way or not, but it's definitely a valid interpretation. When Danny walked out of Flack in that diner, he made a mistake--going to IAB even though Mac had told him not to--that hurt his career. I'm sure Flack feels like he should have gone after Danny to stop him from making that mistake.

And now, years later, he sees Danny on the cusp of making another big mistake. If Danny hadn't reported the gun stolen and Rikki had killed Ollie, or if Danny hadn't taken Rikki in after she threatened Ollie, his career could have been in jeopardy. Danny could have faced very real, very grave consequences. So Flack wasn't about to let Danny walk away from him again and go make a mistake that could cost him his career.

As much as I would like to think it was deliberate, I'm more inclined to the "happy coincidence" theory. :lol: That said, the writers have showed surpising consistency with the Danny and Flack relationship ever since the first season. Perhaps it is an indication the writers are as fond of the pair of them as we are? It always plays out so well on the screen, how could it not be a favourite? Eddie and Carmine never fail to deliver the goods and it serves as a wonderful vehicle for showing up the strengths and weaknesses of both characters.

I would certainly agree with those who have said that their friendship is the most well developed in all 3 CSI franchises. Long may it reign!

extraordinary anthomaniac Flack and Eddie! :lol: :lol:

Top41:
ZhuShuaitje brings up a good point--Flack really is there for almost everyone on the show. He seems especially close to Danny, Stella and Mac, but he always seems willing to lend an ear or a shoulder. I love that it was him that Mac turned to about the 333 caller; I thought that was an interesting and good choice. And we know Danny always runs to him when Danny's in trouble or needs someone to talk to. I love how everyone knows they can depend on Flack.

Oh, I definitely think both the writers and actors are fond of the friendship between Flack and Danny. It really is gold in terms of complex, real, and unique development--there aren't many friendships like that between two guys on screen on shows right now, and it really brings out so much in both characters. I imagine it's as much fun to write and act as it is to see it play out on screen.

It brings out so much in the two of them. I love how Flack, who always goes by the rules and is so tough with suspects, is willing to bend the rules to help Danny out. And Flack sure is one determined guy--getting the super to let him into Danny's apartment and tracing Danny's cell? That's real tenaciousness.
 
It's really great to see everybody interaction with Flack. Everybody at the lab respec him, and at the precint it looks like he got the status he had before 'Consecuences' took place, after all he made the biggest drug bust in 'Snow day'.

Danny and him showed a lot of respect and confidence, we've seen both of them act more at ease, more relaxed, when they're together than when they're surrounded by other characters. Also they can do for each other things they wouldn't do for anyone. Flack helped him when he knew the correct thing was to report him, and even let him get away with Nikki, something he hadn't done before, because he's a control freak and has to make everything by the book.
