It has been at least three months since the finale.
Starting to think we're never going to see the direct aftermath of a shooting here!
~ Lindsay shot Shane - she is in her last session of department mandated therapy in the premiere. She also received a medal for her actions. The therapist, Dr Johnson, wants her to open up during their last session together because she is concerned about Lindsay, but Lindsay refuses to cry or do whatever else she thinks Dr Johnson expects from her. She loses her temper a bit when Dr Johnson says she wants Lindsay to keep coming to therapy, and she points out that Lindsay is more angry now.
Okay, ROFL
forever :lol::lol: Won't lie, I'm really happy about this -- a little paranoid, 'cause it totally feels like someone's been reading the Anna/Lindsay thread :shifty:, but I
have been wanting to see something like this therapy thing for a long while now; can't wait to see how it plays out.
I seem to be in the minority, but I
am surprised that Lindsay shot Shane (wanted to see it, but didn't think it'd actually play out). More because of the same issue I complained about earlier this summer -- Shane was the only one with a gun actually drawn in that final scene before the screen went blank, and there were only two other people in the room with him, neither of them Lindsay; but somehow she got off a shot before he did...? Three months after the fact, it doesn't seem like I'll get much explanation on exactly how that was managed, which is annoying. But I'll overlook this once
Dr Johnson also says that she really knows nothing about Lindsay despite spending three months in sessions together.
I kind of love this part
:lol: Like a lot. It seems like they've really nailed Lindsay again. And the part about her throwing the badge in the trash...seriously, can
not wait to see how this all plays out!
It looks like Sela Ward's character is named Jo. She teases Adam at one point and has a bit of (what appears to be) friendly rivalry with Mac later on, when they both want to prove something about the investigation. (I say 'appears to be' because I can't tell for sure - but I don't think there's any animosity between them. )
Another thing I'm really looking forward to! I dunno, I just love seeing Adam interact with older women :guffaw: I was a bit disappointed when his interactions with Stella somewhat disappeared mid-S6, but have wanted to see more of this kind of thing ever since that cute moment he had with Aubrey. It's hilarious that Sela/Jo(?) might keep carrying that tradition.
As for Jo herself; well, she sounds interesting so far. I'm a little wary of the few descriptions we've gotten of her, just because this mention of a rivalry reminds me of Haylen a little.
But then, a friendly rivalry with Mac is almost guaranteed to play out differently than one with Adam would. This leaves me excited! (That may be influenced by my watching Sela Ward on House as I type, but I'm looking forward to seeing how she meshes with Adam, Mac, and the others. It sounds like they're already taking strides to integrate her.)
Adam seems certain that his days are numbered at the lab - Lindsay comes to see him about some evidence, and he tells her she might want to stay clear of him so she isn't guilty by association. I believe Jo teased him about having some sort of 'file' on him, and he's worried that it's true.
Aw, not again :lol: I should probably take this to the "Season 7 Wishlist" thread, but at least once this season, I'm demanding that
someone steps in to give him a hug and reassure him he's not going anywhere
; after three seasons of worrying over the status of his job without ever really needing to, he needs this. I think it's something he just needs to be told.
~ The case itself involves a dead intern found in an architectural firm on the 34th floor of the building - just one floor below the crime lab. The intern's boss was also attacked on the street less than an hour later, but he survived. He says he didn't know his attacker and that the attack was probably unrelated. He's convinced that it was just a mugging gone wrong.
This one might sound a little routine, but honestly I'm fascinated. I don't know why I'm so surprised that there are different firms completely unrelated to law enforcement or criminal justice in the CSI building, but I am. I'd always figured the building essentially belonged to the NYPD (the CSIs use the basement, the roof, they have a floor below the main crime lab for their locker rooms, the precinct doesn't seem to be too far away [given how frequently we see the team walk through there, even if just to visit Flack], they practically LIVE on that floor but we rarely if ever see them interacting with non-cops on the job [suspects don't count]).
Although all things considered, I guess that wouldn't make sense with over 35 floors in the building, it would only belong to law enforcement. That's a lot of space.
Anyway; it will be cool to see other people from the building, and maybe find out if the team knows anyone from the other floor.

I hope they won´t drop this story too soon again, like two, three episodes later Lindsay will have recovered miraculously and is her old self.

I do hope they they can do the story with Lindsay some justice and not have it disappear after one episode, like sometimes happens with this show.
There aren't enough words for how much I agree with this. If she does the three-second-emotional-rebound thing she did in "Sleight Out of Hand" (and "Daze of Wine...", too), I might..well, dunno yet.

Why they gave Lindsay a medal? For what? She wasn't even on an op. She was at home, sleeping, then saw a villain who was threatening her daughter and husband, and shot him.
This I'm really :wtf: about; it's weird, so I'm trying to see why she would. The conclusion I'm coming to is that Shane escaped police custody three times and killed about three other police officers. The department might've decided to give her one just for doing away with him, despite her (imo, unrelated) reason for doing so.
ETA: If she threw it out because she realizes she doesn't deserve it, though, I will really love that medal part. I still love Lindsay a lot, but it has to be said: if Shane hadn't had the chance to escape from jail, it's less likely those cops would've been killed, end of. And that's partly on her; so it would be great if they show she gets that.
Question: Any word on whether Melina Kanakaredes will be returning to CSI: NY to give a proper goodbye to Stella? —Kirsty
Ausiello: Yep, there’s word: And here it is: No.
...Well this just sucks :shifty: To be honest, I don't see how they'll manage to write her out
unless they decide she suddenly changed career paths. Maybe a little like how Megan Donner was written out on Miami.
I will say this, though; there's no consistent way to have Stella die off-screen, not when she was one of the leads and with no apparent mention of her in the opening episode (her death or otherwise). So I'm a little more reassured that they'll be leaving Stella alive.
