I gave the episode a B-, the episode was humorous yet lame.
The firing scene was at best yawn worthy and frankly beyond anti-climactic. Aiden registered zero emotion though she went all the way from A to Z in about two seconds. Mac was not pissed enough in my opinion, because if you’re going to ball people out in the middle of the lab for defying orders or being harsh with suspects, etc. I expect a little more yelling about a possible ethics violation that could compromise the integrity of the NY crime lab.
Hawkes was adorable, much better than last week, and I love Hill Harper, nice attempt to get him more screen time, but I could have done without the ambulance scene this is CSI not ER, find another way.
The use of JLO’s ass as a case cracker was not a positive moment for me, and may be the low of my TV season; I am offended by all things JLO.
I’m wondering if Stella is actually going to do lab work this season or just continue the forced sexual tension with the strange haired sculptor.
Flack was as always brilliant with the one-liners and I loved the added touch of him fiddling with the surgical equipment.
The entire cuddle party scene was by far my favorite and without it, and of course, Flack, the episode would have ranked lower.
I was also a bit irked by the half-assed attempt to recreate Grand Central, now to the non-New Yorker I’m sure it was no problem, but the number of people looked like the concession stand at a high school football game, not GC during a weekday morning rush, I mean come on you could actually see the floor.
