i disagree on Mac but I can see why some get so annoyed with him at times. I'm more curious about Christine. What makes you say she's cardboard? We're you the one who felt they didn't develop her enough?

If you meant my post, I think that Christine as a charcter has no identity other than to fulfill whatever need Mac may have. What do we know about her other than that she sits alone in a closed reataurant and is always available when Mac comes around to talk? She is blond, no special features, average looks, no humour detected so far, she likes older men, has no history other than her dead brother to explain her relationship with Mac. Noone can be more onedimensional, therefor "cardboard girlfriend". I'm not talking about the actress, it's not her fault, she has no material to shine.

I think for a recurring character knowing she owns a restaurant and got in touch with Mac because he was her deceased brother's partner who she also knew is pretty good. Her purpose is to be Mac's love interest and she's not supposed to be in every episode so she's not a character that really should have a ton of development outside of her relationship with Mac IMO.

She has to check to see if she is making money and that's why in one episode she was looking over her books.

That being said, I'm still not sure about the idea that Mac or anyone else could just walk in if the restaurant is closed.

And yet this is the reason why so many of us don't like her. If her only "raison d'être" is being Mac's most suitable love interest and not "being a character that should have a ton of development", as you said, then there is absolutely no chance for her character to get a tiny weeny bit of sympathy. As I said, I don't dislike her, but I would agree with MissJanet that every now and then Christine gives the impression of a "cardboard girlfriend".
 
There is something that bothers me. A character like Christine could just so be transported into Star Trek, where she would be a Holodeck fantasy, programmed by Captain Mac Taylor. And everyone would freak because that would be sexist and degrading for both Christine and Mac.

Shouldn't TPTB try a little harder on a show that grounds in our time and reality?

I do agree about the open door. It's way too dangerous anyplace,especially a big city. And it was easily avoidable if they'd had one of them mention hm calling when he got close oe just had Mac knock.

True. But the problem is, it was suggested that she didn't return Mac's calls so I don't think she would have answered the phone.

Unless the guy who left when Mac came in, picked up the phone and told her.
 
Oh yeah, I forgot about the first entry.a knock wouldve worked better that time.

Ok we have info on two more eps...I hope that isn't it til Feb...I know about the usual holiday hiatus,but I wonder how long it'll last this time.


I do see Christine still listed for ep10..lI wonder if some of the earlier storyline was preservd or if it's different now.

CSI: NY Scoop: Vandervoort Is Hot for Revenge!

Oh, how the super have fallen. Laura Vandervoort — aka TV’s erstwhile Supergirl — will not make cousin Clark proud with her turn as a bad girl, on CSI: NY. RELATED | CSI: NY Puts One Life to Live Lovebirds David and Melissa Fumero to Work — Exclusive Details TVLine has learned that the Smallville alum will guest-star in a January episode of the long-running CBS procedural as Macy, a young woman who is just getting out of prison after serving two years for possession of stolen property. Thing is, as Macy claimed all throughout her trial, she was innocent — and now that she’s on the outside, she’s hungry to take vengeance on the boyfriend who left her holding the bag, regardless of the consequences. Vandervoort, who this year alone previously booked guest gigs on White Collar and Haven (for a pivotal two-episode arc that kicks off Dec. 14 and closes Season 3), next can be seen this coming Sunday in the Lifetime movie Finding Mrs. Claus. Her other small-screen credits include ABC’s V reboot and Instant Star. Get CBS, CSI: NY, Laura Vandervoort news and alerts as they break on Twitter...

I wonder if Mac's problem will still be going on by crossover time, and if it'll show up in Vegas. Of course, it might leave those who don't watch NY confused. I'll be curious how they handle it. I know Mac won't want to explain it.

I don't think it will show up. I can't see them doing that for the crossovers.
 
9.14 - "White Gold"

Back in a bit. :)

~ Abby and Noah, both 19, are near a warehouse district vandalizing some walls with graffiti, one of the tags being "Murderer." Noah is more nervous about doing this than Abby, and is wanting to leave when the screech of a car around the corner startles them both. After checking to see what happened, they determine it was just a fender bender and proceed to tagging more of the walls. When the cars vroom off, they peek around the corner and see a body lying next to where the cars were once parked.

~ Flack and Lovato are the first to arrive at the scene.

~ The episode seems to delve into the world of NYC pizzerias. At one point, it seems like someone may have been killed over mozzarella.

This is already the 14th episode. I sure hope they are still going home with the characters even though Don's storyline was the best so far.
