CSI NY - "People With Money"

This isn't even really going to be a review, just some general thoughts.

On the purely lizard brain side, I really enjoyed this ep.  Everyone was looking quite hot and buff.  I'm even enjoying Danny's new 'do more than I thought I would.  They must put him in a really good light that de-accentuates the hobbitness of his head or something.  I also enjoyed a brief glimpse of a shirtless!Mac.  Nice.  Now if they could do that for Flack, Danny and Hawkes...I'll be a really happy camper.

Plot-wise?  A big, fat MEH.  I wasn't all that impressed with either of the plots and they both felt...[personal profile] crimsonquills and I were discussing on IM during the ep that the pacing was just weird.  I'm wondering if that contributed to my dislike for the stories themselves.  It felt really rushed in some parts and just weird in others.

Arcing story-wise?  I'm reserving judgement on the Peyton thing until we see how it plays out, but so far I'm irritated with how much they've had to alter Mac's character to make this work.  The Mac of seasons 1 and 2 is not the Mac I saw there.

I'm also reserving judgement on Flack's recovery to see if they decide to deal with it more.  I'm not asking for a full episode or anything, but I am irritated with how these writers have these HUGE traumatic events that happen to the characters and then never really deal with the aftermath.  They need to watch the first few eps of CSI with Nick after "Grave Danger".  It wasn't all-consuming, but you definitely saw the effects.  I want to see that with Flack, and Danny over his brother and Stella over Frankie.

I'd like it if this didn't turn into yet another show that I'm in it JUST for the pretty.

11 hours to go until new Numb3rs!!!!!!

One wonders how much overlap there is between TPTB on the various CSIs, given how all three of them had terrible editing and/or pacing problems.

9 hours 20 minutes. *g* Be careful, I could so keep this count down going all day!
