Grade 'The Thing About Heroes'

P. S. Thank God this was the last thing of the 333 stalker
I wouldn't be that much sure about it, csiviper. Andy is still alive and since he is a completely psycho, I don't think the fact that Mac did play the "hero" againg is going to make him that happy. I mean, Andy put so much effort in his plan to get Mac down, he even managed to get him tied up on a chair, but even so Mac solved the situation.

So maybe what we got on "The thing about heroes" was the end of the 333 stalker, but seems pretty sure to me that we aren't done with Andy, yet.

That's just speculation though, right? Interesting...if they brought Andy back they'd have to do something different with it, but it'd be good if they didn't just forget about this. At the end of the ep I kind of got a feeling like the characters were going, "Okay, it's over now, we can go back to the way things were". I'm sorry, but you can't just do that. Have a storyline go on for months where somebody is being terrorized and then in one swift movement everything's fine and dandy and we never hear of the villian again.

About the whole constant retelling of the story thing, yeah, that got annoying. I really wish they'd come up with more interesting ways to put it, like when Mac told Lindsay and Adam. It WAS word for word from a previous ep. :rolleyes:

MakeTracksCowboy, my personal theory on the decline in the writing is this: It's all the fault of the strike. The writers have had this on their minds since July, when shows start shooting again, and so they were probably frustrated to have to go to work and write these scripts when they weren't getting anywhere with the AMPTP. Just a theory though...

I'm with you, here, LibertyBell . It's been a BIG shock for the whole team, I mean, Andy actually wanted to kill one of them, and it sure has to afect you somehow.

It's funny because over the pasts weeks, there was a discussion (I can't remember in which thread) about the topic if whether or not the characters show somekind of emotionally/phisic wounds after going through this traumatic experiences. In the case of Flack, for example, after "Charge of this post", his non-effects could be explained because of the time-leap. But that's not the case between "The thing about heroes" and "Child's play", so TPTB should show some consequences of the 333 case, or, at least, make some allusions to it.

Lindsay's hair is really bad. They need to let her grow it out, at least to the length it was when she first joined the show. The new cut ages her ten years.

I still love how Flack followed Danny and not Mac. :lol:

I haven't rewatched the episode, but reading over your comments reminded me of what I liked about it--and how glad I am the 333 case is over. ;)
