Gorgeous Mac pics, everyone.
I too love Lighter!Mac, when he relaxes and chills out a little. He seems to do that a lot in the last two seasons, and the best part of it is, it's not just Stella who can get him to smile now. He seems to have formed really close relationships with Sid, Flack, and Sheldon in particular, and has lightened up more, becoming less Boss/Colleague and more 'Friend'. I like how he jokes with Sid and opens up to Flack about 333 and Sheldon about his father's dearth (that shows he's opening up more, and again, much as I love his and Stella's relationship and the trust between them, it's nice he's starting to trust others like Flack and Hawkes with his personal life and issues more). Adam lightens him up a lot too. He did act the Tough Boss with Adam once or twice but generally he lightens up a lot around him. I would like to see Mac hanging around outside the lab with the guys more. As I said, I love seeing him and Stella do stuff outside of work (go to Sullivans etc, though we haven't seen that for a while) but Mac needs to hang out with the guys more. I'd love to see him go to a bar with Flack or to the gym with Sheldon. Or see him meeting Reed for pizza. And it would be nice to see him and Stella get together outside the lab, I mean, they've known each other for 10 years, you'd think they'd go for coffee or pizza every once in a while! Also, having a lady in his life seems to make him happier and more relaxed too.Any volunteers here to fill that particular position?:devil: Please, no fighting in the line, ladies!
I love the sound of this scene from last episode with Mac, Danny and Flack. I do like when Mac shows his Teacher!Mac side too, it's hot. I think it's important to remember you don't get to be head of a CSI team without being pretty smart, and not just in science. I guess some people see it as 'know it all-ism' but I don't see that at all, I think it's cute/hot that he can drop odd little facts like that, it adds to that Marine/Scientist thingy he has going.:drool: I I like the same thing about Hawkes and Sid,(Doctor/Scientist thing with them) though Sid's facts are creepy sometimes.:lol: But back to Mac, I would love to sit next to him in History class, or on a plane...:drool::devil: Or have him as my private history tutor....:devil::drool::devil:
I love the s2 episode where Mac invites the team for pizza in his office, that was one of the first times we really saw a lighter, more relaxed side to him. Or when he joins them for beer in Heroes.
