So we all waited all summer with bated breath to find out who was responsible for the drive-by shooting of our favorite Detectives/CSIs and MEs and what do we get??? The biggest crapfest cop-out (pun definitely intended) since the Moldavian Wedding Massacre on the prime-time soap Dynasty (oh Alexis how I miss thee!) back in the 80s! Seriously, we had all of the build up for Dunbrook in the season finale with superb acting from Craig T. Nelson and we trot out this lame ass 'let's hold the city for ransom because we can' plot-line??? It looks like the actors themselves were like WTF, you could clearly see the incredulous looks on their faces when the motive for the shootings was all revealed.
Let me start of on a totally shallow and superficial note; everyone was looking great this epi! Nice and 'refreshed' if you know I mean *wink wink* *cough Stella and Mac cough*.They must have a new wardrobe person as well, because the clothing is a lot younger and hipper. Seeing Mac in his V-neck wool/cashmere sweater had me drooling for the first half of the epi. Flack, my secret husband, you are scrumptious in blue!
So Danny was wounded and is temporarily paralyzed. Um...okay I totally lost out in that pool, I thought for sure he was 'off-limits' ya know because of the new baby. Speaking of Danny, let's talk about his wife Lindsay. Now, I have nevah been a Lindsay fan, can't stand her, but dammit the way she was reassuring Danny and comforting him was just beautiful and touching. The whole speech about her bringing her umbrella because they said there was a 10% chance of rain and comparing that to the 10% chance of Danny walking again was poignant and it made me a little teary-eyed. Of course when it started raining at the end and Danny moves his foot, well,, yeah cue the full on water-works.
Adam and Stella??? What.The.Fuck? I know that in times of trauma we turn to those closest to us for comfort and solace, but damn it all to hell, as someone who is an ardent Stella/Sheldon shipper, I call BS on the Adam/Stella hook-up. Their little speech about it being great but never to be repeated brought the LOLz, who hasn't given that exact speech at some point in their career to a colleague you fucked but shouldn't have (office Christmas party 2004). Are we to believe that this randomly introduced Crime Scene Cleaner girl is to be a not so subtle new love interest for Adam? I hope not, that was as subtle as a brick and I did not like her at all.
Donald Flack. I love him. I am worried for him, because we know that he is back too soon after Jess' death. I can already see that he will resort to self-destructive behaviour to deal with Jess' death; random sexual hook-ups (who was the chick he hugged in the bar?), excessive drinking...yeah I can see TPTB dragging that shit out. I hope so because Eddie Cahill needs a great story-line to show his acting range. Flack just seems too well-adjusted for a man that lost the love of his life a month ago.
Mac Taylor. I love him. He's a great leader, but like Stella said, you're part of a Team; you lead said Team and should therefore act accordingly; no more cowboy antics for you darling.
Sid, I had you down as being expendable and getting killed off, but I am happy that you are still there in the morgue, buddy.
Sheldon Hawks. Yum. I love him and goddamn TPTB for not letting you have a comfort fuck with Stella. That's alright, I'll just re-read the FanFic I wrote for the two of you.
All in all it was an okay episode, definitely not the caliber one would expect for a season premiere; I can't believe I waited all summer for this lame-ass 'resolution' to a good season finale. Meh.
