Yeah, Devon seemed like a convenient plot device and nothing more. She certainly didn't fit with Flack by my logic.
What I love seeing more than anything is Flack being his snarky self with the CSIs. I enjoy seeing him being sort of the go-between as far as the forensic team and the regular cops go. He's a cop, not a scientist, so he's slightly removed from the rest of the team in that regard--but at the same time, he clearly respects and trusts the CSIs. It's nice to see that, and even to see conflict come out of it.
Gerrard and Sinclair sort of hinted to Flack at the end of S3 (the episode with Mac's little internal investigation trial thing) about how playing the political game is necessary to move up in the ranks of the NYPD, and I'd like to see Flack dealing with that at some point.
I'd also love to see more of him interacting with each of the CSIs. He and Mac are dynamic together, he and Stella are just fantastic, he and Danny have such a good rapport--he and Hawkes have a ton of potential for some great interaction, as we've seen in a few episodes so far, but he rarely interacts with Lindsay at all to even form an opinion beyond 'hi, they know each other and don't want to stab each other in the eye.'
And, being me, I'd love to see Flack interact with Adam. Those two are just
way different and I think the result would be comic gold. :lol:
Oh, and Sid. Flack and Sid would be hilarious.
