And I agree, we need a episode-story that's centred on Sid. Point of No Return kind of counted (still one of the best episodes ever, and certainly my favourite Sid-ish episode ), but not really because Sid's involvement was minimal. It needs to be more like what happened in Flag on the Play, except more...Sid-like, I guess. I liked Flag on the Play, because it was touching to know how involved Sid got in this one case; but what bothered me about the way it was done was that we never got much of an explanation as to why this one case affected Sid so much. I felt like it was a storyline that could've been given to any one of the five ME's in the CSI franchise (Alexx, Tara, Doc Robbins, Tom or Sid) and very little would've changed.Whereas something like sitting down to listen to performers in the subway...seems quirky in a way that only Sid could be, and the other ones can't.
That's why I dislike Flag Of The Play : completely soulless in the sense that Sid, which seems to be a great deal in the story line, never put his "imprint" in the story telling whatsoever. He was just there doing the tasks and dirty job (kinda like a robot would stay out the your way while doing your chores?) yet he'll always be so sensitive and compassionate no matter what -- that's just who he is. And the lack of explanation makes me dislike the episode even more. It just didn't made sense to deliver this kind of story if you don't bother explaining anything to the audience. I mean, why bother? Of course we'd like to know why or how it affected Sid so much because we just know so little about him as compared to the others where things could be implied because of what has been known so far. Am I making any sense here? I mean, I'm fully on Ranting mode :lol: Sid deserved so much better out of FOTP even though I did enjoyed seeing him so much. I just wished there was purpose in using him for this one episode in particular? He barely gets any good reason to get out of the lab so why not make it meaningful for his character?I agree about what you guys say about Sid getting his own storyline. So far every character in the show got their storylines or centric episodes, etc. Sid is a main character as well, so I think it's his turn. He was a big part of some episodes, like when everyone was worried about him in Page Turner and of course his affection in Point Of No Return. But after so many seasons I think he should get a bit more, which would then give us a chance to learn more about him. Possibly something that is not directed to another character or so, like it was in Point Of No Return. That would be awesome.
And I think because it is creepy Sid would know how to solve it and how to follow the leads and evidences :lol: Every time there was something odd in a crime he would nailed it and brush it with a shrug like "Yeah, it's normal for me to know these things, you know I'm there for that" hahaha! I thought he and Stella made such a great team in Flag Of The Play, though. Great dynamic and team work. They outta work together like that again or maybe with Hawkes?! Would be cool to see them solve a crime together after both sharing the morgue :lol: I always thought they had a special connection because they're MEs. Or it's just me? lolyeah, and it should be something that is important for the case aswell. Something odd, creepy which Sid would love, and of course he would be the one who solves the case. It would be completely awesome. Sid deserves it.

Oh yeah, I remember this episode. I also wonder what it was, I also don't remember if they said what it was he reacted to. But what I loved was how he reacted to Stella and tried to calm her down when they talked later.
Holy moly, and I thought I was getting paranoid enough by CSI when I wouldn't even touch doorknobs! :alienblush: That number really freaks me out!!Quick off topic comment.
PianoWizzy, did you notice your post is #333? LOL.
Thanks for the inspiration. I gotta go post what it inspired in the "You Know You Watch Too Much CSI: NY" thread.
Vildis said:In the same scene, Sid also mentioned that he has a Lithuanian grandmother. So he can speak some of their language as well. How cool is that? He also mentioned that his grandmother used to drive him nuts. (Yes, he said nuts. Not crazy/insane or something else). I don't know, I just found it weird. I know he was much younger back then. But it is still almost unbelievable. As i've always seen Sid like a calm person who rarely gets annoyed or angry. So it's hard trying to imagine that someone can drive him nuts.
Vildis said:But Sid doesn't always get annoyed/mad when someone messes with his job or the corpses. I remember when The compass killer left a compass next to a body in the room, while Sid was gone for a short moment. When he came back, Mac was there and noticed it. Sid never became mad/annoyed though. He managed to remain calm.
But yes, Sid was named after his mother. Apparently. According to the episode: My name is Mac Taylor. I think it's kinda weird, as I have never heard of something like that before. I know that some mothers give their daughters the same name (either first or middle name), and the same with father and son's. Or other close relatives. But the kids never get a name after a female relative if it's a boy, or male name if it's a girl. But I think the name Sid suits him well, so I don't mind.
