CSI Level Two
Awww, beer just for me!Swoon :drool::drool: I love these two pics, Carolyn3843 That second one really makes me feel quite :devil: Put all naughty thoughts away as I have a busy day and will see all you UK ladies later, pull up a seat at about 9.30 tonight, I offer a selection of wine, soft drinks and chilled beer (for MacsLady) and there will be nibbles etc. *waves bye*
I really enjoyed last night's ep, especially the Mac/Hawkes scene and the Mac/Flack scene.It was really interesting seeing how disgusted and sickened by the pics of the little boys Mac was - he actually had to turn away, and it really seemed to shake him up. He was so disgusted that it clouded his judgement, and he, like Danny, couldn't see past the pictures at first. I loved seeing that - we've seen Mac lose it with suspects and be angry or sad over a particular crime, but he was truly sickened by the idea of child molestation and pornography. I'm glad Hawkes was there to make him see reason, it was kind of a reversal of last week, when Mac stopped Hawkes from letting his emotions over Kara's rape make him lose it on a case by attacking the rapist. This time, it was Hawkes who made Mac realize they had to dig a little deeper before concluding the coach was a bad guy.
That scene with them was just amazing, though, there were hardly any lines, yet Gary played Mac's disgust and horror and his inability to see things rationally really well, mostly through facial expressions and body language. I loved Mac and the father in interrogation at the end, Mac seemed to feel guilty for having made a snap judgement, and yet because of that he could understand where the father was coming from - the father made the same judgement on seeing the pictures. I liked what Mac said at the end to Flack about what a waste the deaths on this case were - the young man who died, and the coach, and also the father going to jail was a waste because he was a good man who just made a snap judgement.
Loved Mac's unquestioning loyalty to Flack. Sophia, I know you said on the 'UK' thread you miss the old Mac who would act the 'boss' and keep some distance. I actually liked how he didn't even question Flack. I think we saw the 'boss' Mac with Hawkes last week. He and Flack are very close after all, and I loved Mac's conviction he did nothing wrong. I guess Mac should have looked at what happened with Flack as an investigator, and not Flack's friend, but again I think that he refused to believe Flack did anything wrong shows he does have soft side, and that he does make judgements - a bad one about the coach, a good one about Flack.
Loved him inviting Flack to catch a hockey game, even though he doesn't like the sport, that was sweet. I don't like it either, but I wouldn't mind watching it with Mac and Flack.:devil::devil::devil:
We're definitely seeing a much softer side to Mac lately, and I wonder whether this is because of what happend with Joe/Ethan in 'Hostage' and 'Veritas' - that it's some kind of reaction to the fact that he made a bad judgement there too that almost got him killed, and he feels the need to connect with people more (Ella, Hawkes, Flack), and protect those he cares about (Hawkes, Adam, Flack) or whether it's just that he's opening up more and letting his emotions lead him more both in his interactions with the rest of the team, and in the way he works cases. Or a mix of both.
It's very interesting anyway, and last night's ep was great. Mac looks fantastic in that dark red shirt, too.:drool::drool::drool:
