I looked at this ep as an homage to some of the things that attracted me to this franchise in the first place: Not necessarily the flashy graphics or sorely overused CGI, or the "pwetty people" who populate the screen, but the science, the forensics, the cool (or not so cool) stuff that goes on behind-the-scenes in order for the pwetty CSIs to actually capture the bad guys & gals. I think CSI NY does the best job of the 3, of trying to integrate more science/forensics into the storyline as consistently as possible, although Miami does a pretty good job of it, too.
Loved Adam & Kendall's scene with Mac! I don't really see them as necessarily flirty or Adam suffering from "Unrequited Crush", but more of two very intelligent geeky types who found eachother and ended up as very, very good friends - but they happen to be attractive people of the opposite sex, which always throws a bit of a twist into the friendship, even if it's one without benefits, or without any real attraction as possible mates. I like that they can toy with eachother a bit, both physically & intellectually. I've had many male friends like that; we're best friends, we can tease and berate eachother good naturedly, but the teasing belies the close friendship beneath. That's how I see Adam/Kendall. I thought the "baby fat" comment was pretty funny, although I don't think dear, adorable Adam has a thing to worry about! Loved Mac playing "Muffin Man" and tossing our favorite lab-lad a sweet morsel to eat, before he expired.
Flack & Angell...oooooh my, how hot was thatscene?!!
They played off eachother so naturally, it was amazing. And Eddie really did look like he was blushing, :lol: I literally laughed out loud when the overbearing publisher, Amber Stanton, "made" them as they were supposed to be watching her, and dropped off a copy of her day's itinerary. Flack & Angell's reactions were priceless.
I enjoyed Danny & Lindsay's interaction for the most part, both looked like they were enjoying themselves immensely in the scenes outside the museum. Their slightly sarcastic banter was reminiscent of how they were together back in second season, and I liked them that way. There was some mild flirting that crept in last night, but I didn't find it overt enough to be annoying.
Other posters have already mentioned the other things I enjoyed: Hawkes & Sid, love watching those two work together! Flack in a shortie-kevlar vest is divine. Mac & Stella, always some good interaction between those two (loved Mac's comment to Stella, "You can just say...hairspray." :lol
All in all, I thought it was a well-crafted episode. I love the high action eps like "Snow Day", but I find episodes like this one, that concentrate on the nitty-gritty behind the action, often equally as compelling, when done well. And I thought "Commuted Sentences" was done well.
