I don't think I saw this one here:

CSI NY To Pay Tribute To 9/11 During Season 8 Premiere

Not much more than before, it basically shows that this particular episode will get sort of attention due to its topic (which is not surprising).
Oh, and there's a little more of Jo/Mac scene from the coffee shop. But apart from this: nothing really new.

Yeah, kinda. At least it's one of those posed things and not from an ep...I'd go nuts trying to decide which one it was lol

How 9/11 Changed My Life (Gary Sinise)

Best known for his roles as Vietnam War vet Lt. Dan in ‘Forrest Gump,’ and astronaut Ken Mattingly in ‘Apollo 13,’ Gary Sinise has played Det. Mac Taylor on ‘CSI: NY’ since 2004. The CBS show has decided to honor the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11 with a special episode on Sept. 23 that reveals how Taylor lost his wife on that day of national tragedy. Sinise, a recipient of the Presidential Citizen’s Medal who has been involved in numerous Sept. 11 charities, opens up about the episode and what 9/11 means to him.


There’s a memorial in Brooklyn that honors all the first responders that were killed on Sept. 11 called the Brooklyn Wall of Remembrance. There are 417 faces of first responders that were lost that day. Back in 2006, they had completed about one-third of that memorial and they ran out of money. A firefighter friend of mine took me out to see it and I offered to try and help them raise the additional money to complete the memorial. They liked that idea, so we put a concert together at Brooklyn College where my band, Lieutenant Dan Band, played, and we raised all the money to complete the memorial, and it was open and dedicated in May 2008.

I met Anthony Zuiker, the creator of CSI: NY, back in 2004. It was always in his mind that my character, Mac Taylor, was a guy who was very personally involved in what happened down at Ground Zero, and also somebody who had lost a loved one there. And over the years, I’d been pitching an idea to the writers and our showrunner about doing an episode that would focus on the 9/11 anniversary and feature the Brooklyn Wall of Remembrance. At the end of last season, we weren’t sure if we were going to be coming back or not, but when we left each other we said, “If we do come back, our season premiere has to be this episode since it’s the tenth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. It’s time to do this episode.”

Sure enough, we came back for an eighth season and Zachary Reiter and John Dove, both former New Yorkers, were assigned to write this particular episode based on the memorial. There’s an interesting crossover between fact and fiction here, because Mac Taylor is featured as a participant in helping to create this memorial. In this episode, our audience is reminded that Mac Taylor is somebody who lost a loved one in the collapse of the Towers, and for the first time we get to meet her because this episode takes place 10 years ago on the day, and 10 years later on the 10-year anniversary. It’s a very personal episode and it’s our way of paying tribute and honoring the men and women who sacrificed that day in service of the city of New York.

Like millions and millions of people around the country, I was woken up on that day and told to turn on the television by my 8-year-old daughter who came into the room. It was about six in the morning here in Los Angeles, so I spent the whole morning watching television and eventually had to get out of the house because I couldn’t take it anymore.



And like so many people, 9/11 affected me deeply and changed my life in a profound way. I was thrust into a level of public service that I never imagined. Since Sept. 11, I’ve been very active in supporting our military and first responders. I was scared into action. I was frightened for my country; I was frightened for my kids and family; I was frightened for the kind of world we were entering in the 21st century. That was a catastrophic, tragic event that I’ll never forget. We see the images every year on the anniversary, but I’ve met a lot of wonderful, incredible people who’ve lived with that every single day. I felt there was a way that I could contribute to supporting them and helping them, and by doing that, I could somehow heal some of the pain that I felt on that day.

Justice was done in killing bin Laden, but the pain and fear that he caused will never heal in some people, no matter whether he sleeps with the fishes or not. I don’t think we can forget the vulnerability we all felt from that attack when 19 guys with box cutters did so much damage to our country. If it would’ve been the end of the war, I might have understood some of the celebrating a little bit more. But what happened on Sept. 11, 2001, was a call to action for many jihadists out there who eat, sleep, breathe, live, seven-days-a-week, 365 days-a-year dreaming and thinking of how they can bring down the United States, so we can’t let our guard down. When we do, we see what happens.


I always have a certain fear that anything can happen. It’s a dangerous world. Do I still have fears about that happening again? Yes, I do. I know too many military leaders who know too many bad guys who are very determined to try to do harm to the United States. We’re lucky that we have people that live 24 hours a day, seven days a week to prevent that from happening again.


At the age of 18, Gary Sinise co-founded the Steppenwolf Theatre Company of Chicago. Sinise's portrayal of Lt. Dan in the Academy Award-winning film, Forrest Gump earned him nominations for an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award. He has also starred in Apollo 13, Ransom, and many more films. He has received Tony Award nominations for acting and directing. In 2008, Sinise received the Presidential Citizens Medal, the second-highest civilian honor awarded to citizens for exemplary deeds performed in service of the nation. He is only the second actor, and one of only 110 people in history, to receive the honor. He has played Det. Mac Taylor on CSI: NY since 2004.

Many thanks Perl for share. It is interesting.:guffaw::guffaw:

Wow--he was only 18 when he founded the Steppenwolf Theater Company. I would've thought he was a few years older. Very impressive. :cool:
 
Re: Season 8 Spoiler Discussion - There's Nothing You Can't Do In New

Another week, another edition of Watch With Kristin regurgitating the same Danny/Lindsay scoop...

Daniellegirli: Anything on the CSI:NY Danny and Lindsay interview from last month that we never saw/read?
You found us out. We were just hoarding all the Danny-Lindsay goodies for ourselves. Or, due to a little thing we journalists have to worry about called an embargo, we literally can't show you the interviews yet. Or else! And nobody wants "Or else," you know? Gotta wait until closer to the premiere date. I know it's hard, but you'll have to be patient until those interviews go live. It's really for your own good. Wouldn't want you to pass out from all the info we have on the episode that features the crime-fighting duo. Keep your eyes open, though: We'll start doling out scoop in small doses so you don't get the bends.

KellGreen1: Anything on CSI: New York's Danny and Lindsay?
Anna Belknap tells us that there are some struggles early on getting used to Danny's (Carmine Giovinazzo) new sergeant position: "They are used to working together and seeing each other everyday, so it becomes sort of difficult. They try have lunch in episode two. They can't make it work. It's frustrating. You're used to seeing somebody everyday. He works long hours, she works long hours, they're not seeing each other, so it's tough." And yet again they miss a meal together. Sad panda.

Good effing God. :scream: :rolleyes: :wtf: New DL slogan: No news is news!
 
Re: Season 8 Spoiler Discussion - There's Nothing You Can't Do In New

Wow we really are having an overload about those two!!! To put it mildly... geez! Every time I think there can't be another question answered about them because there have been too many, another one pops up. This time there are two!!! :shifty: The season better start already so I can see the other characters and forget that I'm always hearing about the same two.

They're catering to a segment of the fandom by repeating the same thing over and over again - it's not giving that segment of the fandom anything new, and it's not giving the rest of the fandom anything. It's just silly. I'm not saying they should never answer questions about DL, but variety is the spice of life. Seriously.

Has anyone asked questions about any of the other characters? Going off their answer to the first question it seems they did an interview with Carmine and Anna a while back. Kind of makes sense then that they have so much info on Danny and Lindsay.

Personally I haven't seen any recycled info. They have given a different answer to every D/L question they have answered as far as I can tell.

It's extremely hard to believe that no one has asked any questions about anything else than DL. Do I know that for sure? No, but the odds are really against DL being the only thing people are asking about with a show that has, what, six other characters? They've mentioned multiple times they've done an interview with Carmine and Anna. How many times to people need to know that information?

We've seen two or three times that they'll have a hard time making their different schedules work. We've seen more than once that Danny's encounters with the rookies will cause issues that relate to DL. Just because they haven't said word for word the same thing in each question doesn't mean the information is something we haven't already heard.
