Oh, holy hot damn wow. CSI:NY tonight was fun. We had Badass!Flack with a pump-action shotgun, Badass!Stella dropping from a vent like Chuck Norris in a Delta Force flick, Badass!Hawkes wielding a bone saw, and, of course, Super!Mac. Danny, bless him, deserves to walk around without pants for the rest of his days. The entire team was fabulous.
With one notable exception.
The D/L scene was ripped whole and breathing from fanfic. We had dramatic blouse-tearing and a dewy-eyed flashback to the smexing while Lindsay basked in the afterglow. It was nauseating and juvenile, and matters were not helped by the fact that she spent the episode hovering uselessly beside Flack. And since when has he called her Linds? Jesus, what an insipid dishrag of a character and storyline.
It's sad because everyone else, including Adam, Peyton, and Sid, outshone her with compelling, bravura performances. Adam, who spent the show cowering, found his gumption in time to save three cops, but Lindsay, who has tackled suspects and waved her gun, was reduced to helpless, hand-flapping victim. Can we please jettison the character, TPTB? I don't want a season of her angsting over the fact that it should've been her in that warehouse. I'm gagging just thinking about it.
A because everyone else carried the day.
