That Mac is a raging asswad is beyond all doubt. I understand him being upset that the department is launching its own inquiry after the DA refused to file for lack of evidence, but like it or not, Stanton Gerrard and Brigham Sinclair are right. If they don't conduct their own investigation, the public perception will be that the blue wall is covering for its own, and as Sinclair pointed out, Mac was adamant that that justice makes no exceptions for those who wear the badge when he arrested Truby.
I love Sinclair for baldly pointing out Mac's hypocrisy in that regard, and I find it telling that Mac had no comeback for once. At least no rational one. He started rambling about him being the last of Giuliani's hires.
What the blue holy hell was that? I wasn't aware that mayors personally hired police officers. What the fuck did him being "one of Giuliani's" have to do with the fact that-helpful Mac o' Vision aside-it looks as though he pushed a cuffed suspect from the roof? Is he really suggesting that this entire campaign is a Democratic conspiracy to oust him?
My God, the ego. I know Gary Sinise is a staunch Republican, but that was just...indecent, and his political leanings should not be allowed to influence storylines in such an absurd manner. He sounded like the raving paranoiacs beat cops corral out of Central Park every day.
And where does he get the audacity to charge into the Chief of Detectives' office and order him to drop the investigation? I guess respect for the chain of command only applies to his lab underlings.
Mac has no consideration for others. He insulted Gerrard and impugned his integrity before he finished two sentences. Go to hell. He and his concerns do not equal the entire NYPD, and Gerrard was doing his job, which is, by the way, to protect the integrity of the entire NYPD, not bow and scrape to Mac Taylor. Gerrard had said nothing inflammatory at that point, and he did not deserve Mac's petulant posturing and name-calling.
Mac actually showed his true colors in the teaser for next week when he snapped at Flack, "It's not about the department; it's about me." Kiss my ass, Mac. That's the first honest thing you've said in two season, you pompous prick.
And Stella. Are you telling me, o, powers that be, that Stella would allow a known murderer to flee because they were friends ten years ago? Blood sisters? You have got to be kidding me. If Foster Dad died ten years ago, and Stella was a preteen, wouldn't that make her 23 now, far too young to have been Mac's partner for ten years and in Vice for six? If she was just graduating the academy ten years ago, that means she would only have been Mac's partner for eight years at the time of "Officer Blue", but she specifically said ten. So the latest she could have graduated was twelve years ago, two years before the murder. She would also have been eleven. Are you even paying attention?
In summation:
1. Mac is an arrogant asshole who believes his word is law.
2. Stella will compromise all of her ethics as a police officer for her BFF when she was eight. Never mind that they haven't spoken in ten years.
3. You didn't give a damn about the victim, so neither did I.
4. You wasted Danny Pino, who capitulated far too quickly to Stella's offer of help. How did he know she wasn't going to contaminate evidence?
5. This show is a big ball of contradictory, self-serving shit.
F for idea.
F for presentation.
Hammer of motherfucking FAIL.
