Commuted Sentences, Buzzkill and One Wedding and a Funeral
First of all thanks Steve for the nice comment. You’re right about time flying which is really scary as well change is a scary thing. Living away from home, new people, new surroundings, new situation. I can’t wait really till Christmas because by then I’ll have got rid of all my jitters about it being so new.
Anyway, back to the point of the post. For some reason I haven’t posted reviews of the last three CSI:NY episodes and there’s another one on tonight. While it’s not necessary to post thoughts on every episode I like to so I can look back and see what I was thinking so in brief.
Commuted Sentences: I sort of felt sorry for the murderers because while they killed people an argument can be made that the victims sort of deserved it. However, murder is murder I suppose I just don’t like classing them in the same group as the people they killed. Vigilantism is a difficult subject and I think they dealt with it well. It might have been nice to have had some more internal struggle within the team with perhaps Lindsay identifying with them and saying that the women don’t deserve jail or something. They seemed to all just sort of follow along the murder is murder, don’t care about the motive. Still not a bad episode, loved Lindsays slingshot Dennis the Menace impersonation. Give it maybe 6/10.
Buzzkill: Ok why did Stella agree to meet with Drew? He’s obviously a stalker psycho, going over the top and pushing the boundaries. I’m glad she’s a little bit nervous but seriously, I would have got a restraining order by now. As for the case in the martini glass well I’m never going in the ocean again. You can’t see it unless it’s under a microscope but it can kill you. As for the other case well it was good. Danny seemed a bit off, bit out of character. Liked how they had the hidden danger and the case took a turn. Much like with Midsomer I sometimes wonder when they’re going to run out of ways to play cases out or ways to kill people. Not bad all told so give it a 7/10.
One Wedding and a Funeral: Ok liked how they had an allusion to them actually testifying in court once in a while. After all there has to be more to the job than the job. Loved how Stella yelled at Drew. I think he sent it, he was smirking and then he kept on touching it even after she told him not to perhaps because he already had and wanted a reason for his DNA to be on the pieces. Loved the 3D puzzle though, Adam is amazing, his job will never be boring although they could have helped him. I think they should have been a little more careful with the new boxes they found, the first one wasn’t a bomb but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a fakeout, any of the others could have been. Anyway, conclusion to the 333 storyline next episode, about time too, I want to know what it’s about. A few more hints might have been nice along the journey as the pieces we have don’t connect together so the episode will just basically tell the whole story which sort of partially defeats the object of the buildup.
