Creatively it's foolish for them to go this far with Dindsay this early on, because where else is there to go for them but down?
No kidding. And you know, I'm still trying to figure out how the same writers who do such a great job with the Mac/Peyton scenes can be total sh*t with the 'Dindsay' stuff.
Not to mention that Danny and Lindsay go from
almost kissing to getting their skank on with five episodes of
nothing in between. If I'm supposed to believe they're in a relationship already, the writers are sorely mistaken.
They've taken what
should be important character development--through a potentially long-term romantic attachment--and used it for cheap thrills. The attention span of the teenyboppers is fleeting, and even on soap operas things don't last. This whole situation? Majorly blows.
However, I'm interested to see the scene with Flack and Hawkes--those are two characters who don't get enough interaction together.
I'm also wondering how shooting that mob guy might affect Flack. I'm sure he knows he had to, and that there was nothing else he could have done, and that it was probably a kill-or-be-killed situation--but that doesn't mean taking a life is easy.
My only concern is that they are trying to fit it all into one hour, which just does not seem long enough for all the action the preview suggests.
Exactly. Not even an hour--only about 42 minutes of the actual show for
all of that? From taking the drugs to Danny and Lindsay bopping like horny teenagers on prom night, to Danny and Adam being taken hostage, and the huge situation at the precinct with Mac and company? It's probably going to seem even more rushed than "Charge of this Post," which I felt definitely needed more time--especially once they went after Lessing.
Anyway, moving on--was that Flack toward the end that asked where Mac was and Stella said she didn't know? If so, then either Flack is at the lab before the hostage situation, or the episode ends at the lab, I guess...
I'm looking forward to seeing how Adam and Danny interact in the hostage scene--nothing quite compares to seeing the actors really performing. And those are two great actors right there.
I do find it interesting that, out of all of the 'action' in the finale, the only action Lindsay got was taking off her clothes. To echo
Elsie, kudos to Anna for stripping to her bra after having a kid--I won't do that now, and I've never had one :lol:--but much like when Danny took off his shirt in "Mrs. Azrael," it strikes me as gratuitous. If it's supposed to be about Danny and Lindsay, fade-to-black would be sufficient, but they felt the need to actually show them doing the dirty work? That changes it from romantic moment to cheap thrill. A romantic moment would have more build-up anyway. *sigh* Oh well, one can at least hope that the writers are planning to do things better next season. They are obviously already thinking about it, so let's cross our fingers that they're planning things out well this time...
(Oh, by the way, with all of that damage, are we going to see a new lab again next season? Or will the damage just be miraculously fixed?
)
