Hmmm. Well, it was an okay episode I guess. I was kind of bored and was only half watching. The constant breast and butt shots in the beginning and then the champagne being sprayed everywhere was watching like a wet t-shirt contest. It just served to remind that there is a male audience for this show. *sigh*

Anyways, Sid having a storyline was a nice change. He did well but I missed his creepy and offbeat humor. The minute I saw that Sid was a major player I had a hunch Adam wasn't going to be in there and that hunch solidified when I saw Lindsay. So I was sad. haha

All the case interrogations were annoying soap-opera type stories. Probably what would happen if there was a murder on Gossip Girl. Anyways I was more interested in the whole Badge debacle than this crime.

Flack and danny pretty much made the episode. I'm happy when they're together because they're the best and most fun duo to go after a suspect.

I love how Danny was his regular irresponsible self and Flack is doing the regular *face palm* reaction to Danny's antics. lol This whole Shane Casey thing seems like a good story line even though it's a little out there.

I also agree about that Mac and Sid football scene. I was waiting for shane casey to pop out of nowhere and shoot Mac. I mean Mac smiling that long in slow motion is like an omen for trouble. haha
 
Typing as I watched it. I can't be bothered writing anything more coherent.

-Holy *beep*! 3 effing minutes out of 42 before something actually happens. Do I look like I care about those chicks playing tough games and having fun?
-Sid! Squee! But he looks tired & troubled, aww :(
-I get it: boiled corpse is supposed to look icky.
-Uh-oh, serial killer on the loose? Whatever...
-*hugs poor Sid*
-The "I feel guilty" thing is getting old.
-No badge. Who cares?
-Suspicious syringe is suspicious. How appropriate.
-Sid didn't see the puncture mark. Yeah, they're, like, so big!
-Smurf corpse, ftw!
-Sid-Hawkes dialogue is full of blah.
-Grieving mother looks constipated.
-Both gals were BFFs... surprising!
-Wait, what? Wasn't allergic reaction to lidocaine quite rare? Oh, strike that!
-Where did cool computers go? Why do they compare fingerprints with a magnifying lens?
-Meredith is teh jeluz!!1! *yawns* And a suspect! And the actress playing her is horrible! *yawns*
-Yeah, right, like she went to Michigan to kill the other girl.
-That circle reminds me of Red John.
-Trainer's a cheater!
-More pointless game. Yay... not.
-Cocky trainer is cocky. Whatever.
-Yeah, he injected her in her boob just because.
-Know-it-all Lindsay. Unheard of... not.
-Weak alibi!
-Meredith did nothing. Oh-kay.
-Bimbos! Danny drooling. Funny? In theory...
-Badge = $40. Good to know.
-Stolen ring + medal.
-Are there no more pawn shops in NYC? No? I get it.
-Flack looks pissed off.
-Abusive couple. Fine. Beauty & the nerd. "She changed"! No shit, Sherlock!
-Natalie = not-so-angelic. Injections, whoa!
-*hugs Sid again*
-Cheap fake boobs are lethal.
-"Pumping parties" *throws up*
-Grieving mother still looks constipated.
-She used "dr." to save his phone number? Uh-may-zing. Portero = latino, surprising... not.
-Your average chase.
-"That sounds like some kind of movie plot". O rly? You say it because it's cheap and lame?
-Sanctimonious Mac *yawns again and again*
-Tear-jerker of a scene: mother-Sid *is needing some caffeine badly not to fall asleep*
-Way to go, Danny! Just don't report it!
-Shane Casey is back! I.don't.care.
-Mac and Sid playing. End of episode, finally!

D+. Going to get some coffee, brb.
 
Just finished watching.

Lingerie football?:wtf:Seriously?
All in all tolerable episode. I hate that I had to wait 15 minutes to get to see Mac&Stella in the same room. Was starting to get frustrated.
Flack looks so handsome it's distracting me from the rest of the show.:scream:
Danny is an idiot for not reporting his badge.
Very Sid centric episode. Last week we had Stella centric and we are going to have Danny centric episode....I'm noticing a pattern here.
In that scene where they were chasing that janitor guy when Flack got to him first the look on Mac's face was like : Man, am I getting old?:guffaw:
Loved the last scene though.

B+

ETA: Hope they play that Shane Casey storyline out well and don't screw it up.
 
This one gets an A+ from me just because Sid had a huge role in this one, compared to what we normally get. He is so very compassionate by nature and Robert Joy does a wonderful job of bringing that out. His scenes with Natalie's mom reminded me of his scene with Flack when Jess died.

The idea that someone would go to the extent of injecting industrial grade silicone into their bodies because they can't afford the medical procedure completely baffles me yet I saw on CNN.com a story of a woman who did something similar and suffered horrendously for it. The parenthood theme was very apparent with Sid talking with the mom and Mac. These two things overshadowed the whole lingerie football thing for me. I don't need to see a bunch of 20-something women in pink and blue ruffled panties running around on a field playing football. The only thing I appreciated were their ab muscles. God I wish I had those!

I sensed a sadness to the whole episode. Mac's line to sid about how the mom handles her daughter's death (by continuing to move forward) brought back in a rush his sadness about Claire's death and made him sound very alone.

The thing with Shane Casey really came out of left field and I love it!!! I don't think he is out of prison myself. I think he is messing with their heads by getting someone on the outside to do the legwork for him. Which would be even better since no one knows what the person looks like. It could be anybody on the street. The print could have been transferred to the dogtags by someone who knows how to do that kind of stuff.

And Danny is back! Always in trouble, always trying to fix things himself, Flack always finding out and yelling at him. It's great!
 
Yikes! It's been awhile since I was that bored by a CSI NY episode.

I don't think there was anything really wrong with it. The case just wasn't that interesting (despite the "Ew" factor of injecting industrial grade silicone), and the actors/characters seemed a bit flat at times.

I do give them positive points for putting Sid in the forefront. Emphasizing his empathy as a parent was good -- I just wish they had done more with that element and perhaps used this as an opportunity to give more insight into Sid's family life (and relationship to his daughters). A telephone call to one of his daughters might've been a good way to wrap the episode as opposed to the football bonding moment with Mac. I'm still scratching my head over the purpose of that scene, and as Mac was "going long," I too was expecting Shane Casey to run him over with a motorcycle or something.

More positive points for continuity with the Shane Casey storyline. That revelation was really a shocker, and I'm intrigued now to see how this develops. Surely Danny will tell Mac about the stolen badge now. I fear for Lindsay and/or Lucy if Shane Casey is really seeking some type of revenge against Danny.

Nice scene between Flack and Danny with Flack once again expressing his exasperation with Danny's poor judgment.

Other than those points, not much to stand out. Not the type of episode that will be high on my re-watch list.

Grade = C-.
 
I gave it a C, because I was pretty annoyed by the Lingerie Football League theme. First you have this annoying wanna-be starlets in "Second Chances," and now you see women playing football in their lingerie. I thought it is about interesting and catching cases? What the hell happened? When did CSI: NY turn into a TV show where beauty queens are more in the focus than talented actors such as Eddie Cahill!? He always does such an amazing job, and the focus should be on him and all the other talented actors. I might exaggerate a bit, but I'm just not warming up with season 6. Anyway, I really loved the Flack/Danny moments, and Sid having a story line on his own this time. I did miss Adam though. I hope CSI: NY starts focusing on more interesting things again, than coming up with all those superficial themes!
 
I gave it a B-

Was expecting the worst. Football and lingerie. Really !

Although the case was kind of lame, i enjoyed it a lot. Mainly because of Robert Joy's portrayal of Sid. Really sensitive and subtle. Nice to see him outside of the lab, too.

Really loved the Stella and Lindsay interrogation scene. These two work well together. And they both looked incredibly good with their coats and scarves. (Geez, now i'm noticing are they dress, well for lack of a tighter script, always fall back on wardrobe)

The Shane Casey thing was a big surprise. A surprise is always a good thing with a show that's getting a little too "safe". i got a definite sense of " bad things are coming Danny's way". Maybe it'll put some sense into that thick head (of hair) of his.
 
-Nice to see Sid out of the morgue. This was a good episode for him.

-How the hell did Shane Casey escape from prison?

-Where was Adam during the episode? I missed him.
 
D.

Are they aware that the majority of CSI viewers are FEMALE. Most of us do not want to see women in skippy clothing running around playing football. :lol:

I loved the Sid scenes though. But where was my cutie pie Adam at? :lol: I missed him!

I still can't believe Danny hasn't told anyone about the missing badge except for Linds and now Flack.

Okay, I'm not opposed to D/L at all. I like them okay and all, but did we really need the line about them being married? When Hawkes asked Danny why he got to look at the girls videos and stuff while he himself got to process the syringe or whatever and Danny said "because I'm married". Huh? I would think that they'd rather give the job of having a non-married looking at the hot chicks so as to keep from ticking off wives. :lol: That comment really made little sense to me and just seemed to be thrown in there cause the writers want to make sure the viewers don't forget that Danny and Linds are married. As if we would/could. :lol: Yeesh! Enough with the constant reminders. It's beyond ridiculous at this point. :lol:

The scene at the end with Mac and Sid was cute, but Mac holding up the ball and grinning was a bit cheesy. :lol: I kept thinking he was going to bump into something as he was backing up. :lol:

Okay, Shane Casey sounds familiar. Is that the guy who killed Aiden? If not, could someone please refresh my memory?
 
What I found amusing about Danny saying, "because I'm married," is that he sounded totally disgusted and pissed off about it. Not that I blame him, all things considered. ;)
 
D.

He framed Hawkes after escaping for killing that girl and decapitating her and hanging her on the fan and putting spike's in the other guys eyes because his brother was convicted of killing the bar tender.
 
can i give a WTF to the ending? what is up with the writers with bringing Shane Casey back the past? his story was so boring. the writers need to move forward not backward and come up with different villians/bad guys to mess with the team. i seriously could have thrown my remote at the tv for this ending it was so stupid.

besides the stupid ending i liked it. i hated the whole topic of someone not being happy with themselves, it makes me sad in a way i always feel bad for people who don't like themselves. it also makes me a bit sad that some women would go through with shit procedures like those two girls did with the fake silicone and botox.

what the hell is with Danny not reporting his badge? and especially what is wrong with Lindsay not kicking his ass to report it sooner? seriously i love these two characters but they just do such stupid things. and really of all the pawn shopes in the city he found his tags in that one shop? NYC is huge no way that would have happened.

i did like that everyone had some screen time and it was again like last week's ep not just the Mac and Stella show.

so B- from me for the craptastic ending and Danny being a moron with his badge but a good ep besides those things.

I know I had to have seen the episode because I've never missed an episode, but I just do not remember that one at all. :lol:
 
Since there are people who are scratching their heads trying to remember him, Shane Casey was in "Hung Out to Dry" and "Raising Shane" during season 3. (Links are to the episode reviews, which have summaries and such to refresh your memories. :))

Anywho, I finally watched the episode - I decided to type things as I thought of them (complete with a few pictures). ;)

~ I had to fast-forward through the game crap - and the masturbatory fantasy in the locker room. (I mean really, all of the champagne foam flying around was not at all subtle.)

~ Oh, Sid. ♥

~ Flack is so effing pretty. :drool:

flack-613-1.png


~ Oh, Sid. :( It's not your fault, bb.

~ *sees Lindsay - hits fast-forward* Oh, the perks of watching after the fact. ;)

~ Wouldn't someone have noticed that he didn't have his badge for a week? *rolls eyes*

~ Sheldon is one sexy beast. Rawr! And clearly, he knows it:

hawkes-613.png


~ I love when Sid and Hawkes have scenes together. ♥

~ Oh, Sid. :(

~ They couldn't give those girls some clothes to put on? *scowl*

~ *dreamy sigh* Oh Stella, you put those half-nekkid girls to shame. So classy.

stella-613.png


~ You know, Sheldon, you would have gotten those results a lot faster if Adam was there. Since he's da bomb and all. But still, I guess he deserved the day off - too bad he's going to whine when he realizes that he missed the good stuff again. (Sharks, spy cars - now lingerie football players? Poor Adam.)

~ WTF music? o_O'

~ Why does Danny always look lost and confused? *lol*

~ Gah, Flack, stop distracting me with your prettiness!

flack-kissy-613.png


*puckers up*

~ Aww, Flack looks kind of sad. :( Danny, stop perving over wimminz and recognize his looooove. *sniff* (;))

flack-sad-613.png


~ LOL face!

danny-face-613.png


~ WTF is Lindsay wearing? I swear, seeing what's cool to wear makes me feel old.

~ OMG, and they didn't show us Flack talking to a four year old? My ovaries, they would probably die.

~ 'Cuz ahm mahreed.' *eye twitch*

~ Speaking of Danny's accent, it helps if I don't hear 'deluxe porn shop' when you say 'deluxe pawn shop'. Otherwise, I get the wrong idea. (And now I want to see Danny and Flack walking into a porn shop. Flack would just stride up the aisle while Danny squinted around like a confused old man at all of the naughty gizmos.)

~ See Danny, now Flack's annoyed (and disappointed, I'd wager). How's he supposed to swoop to your rescue when you keep this kind of stuff from him? On your own head be it. :scream:

~ "Being a parent myself, I don't know how she gets through the day." Oh, Sid. *hug*

~ "She just does what the rest of us do: she keeps moving forward." Oh, Mac. *hug*

~ Mmm, nothing like a good chase scene ending with Flack getting all rough and dominant. Rawr! :devil:

~ I swear, Sid is the most adorable thing ever. I just want to hug him. I really hope we see his daughter on the show at some point.

~ Half of the time, Danny looks like he smelled a particularly rank fart. Between his stink face and Lindsay's scrunch face, Lucy probably looks like she's constantly trying to drop a load in her diaper.

danny-stink-face-613.png


~ Shane Casey - dun dun duuuuuuun! (This would have been more exciting if I hadn't accidentally spoiled myself for the one thing I didn't know was coming.) Shane Casey may be serving a life sentence, but I'm sure he gets visitors. Dunno where they're going with this, though.

~ When Sid tells you to go long, you go long. He's older than you, Mac, do as the man says. :p

~ LOL, someone mentioned that Mac should fall down a manhole or something, and now that's all I can see - him running and smiling and then *whoosh* he's gone. *dies laughing*

My mama always said, 'Corny is as corny does'.

mac-corny-613.png



And thus ends my running commentary (with pictures!). Overall, the episode wasn't bad - Sid was the best part. It's always great to see them use such a talented actor - and such a great character - more than a few paltry morgue scenes would allow. The gratuitous hot chicks running around half-naked was boring, although I felt bad for Natalie's mother knowing what her daughter did to herself. Mostly, I spent the episode thinking that the boys are so pretty (or in Danny's case, kind of doofy) and that Stella is a goddess. I guess it's not a good sign when people watch an episode so superficially (or only connect in a limited way to the storyline), but who knows. I am but a single viewer. :p
