This was an excellent episode for the season finale. It made me realize how much CSI:NY is going, and how far it can be taken, and how great it is. It definitely was a hint of next season and how great that would be.

THE BEGINNING:
A bit creepy, we see a bomb guy and he's working with things. I have to say the bit with Mac and Flack ushering everyone after the discovery of the bomb was great. Seeing NYs greatest working so well to save a bunch of people. And of course there is one stupid guy with his music so loud he can't hear anything and gets Flack seriously injured because Flack tried to save his butt and they would have been out the door had it not been for him! And then there is the explosion. THE CASE:
This entire episode was about the obvious: the bomber case. I had to say I loved this case from its very beginning with Lindsay saving everyone. It was amazing to see her clear everyone out. It was great seeing her take charge like that. Lindsay seeing the place blow up was just great. Her reaction to it happening was great too. Then with her being blown back Flack and Mac still in there. NOOOOOOOOOO!
The aftermath of the bomb with everyone running was incredibly scary, for me especially. Though I came in to NY the year after 9/11, I lived not too far away, so it was a bit jarring for me to think of them reacting in that same way. It was sweet to see how worried Linds were and how she kept trying to reach Mac on the phone even after she was ushered and told to take care of her cut. Of course, what's worse is that all the debris ruined their original crime scene. GAWD. I love how homeland security just waltzes in. The head chick was just a bit unbelievable. I didn't like her acting. She was the only bad thing about this for me. I really love episodes when you see everyone rallying together, and this one was one of those, when we see everyone trying to find Mac. I kept thinking throughout the entire beginning "Our boys!!! Mac in the debris!" When we see them up there, everything looks sideways. It's sooo creepy. It reminds me of a dada painting or something. When I saw the one guy I thought they rescued Flack, but no of course not it was the dummy. Then Mac looks over, and he sees Flack, and ooooo man Flack is injured the worst. Then I screamed "Nooooo" as I saw the giant HOLE in his body with like a pipe or artery or something and it being cut. I mean there was a literal hole. His skin was all off and everything, and all I could think was, how is that skin going back there? (If anyone can tell me, please do). And the guy is like oh god. Thanks that's what they need. Though if I was in that situation I would have died. I don't know what I would have done. I love Mac knowing exactly what to do. He is literally like MacGyver on the scene!!!!!(Maybe that's where he got his name from, huh?) I love that he uses a shoelace. *shudders* the thought of that every happening to me and someone tying me up with a shoelace and putting PAPER and stuff in my body? I loved when he was taking care of Flack and there is a bottle of water to clean up. Thank god for RBoW(random bottles of water!)
But really, putting paper in his body- eww. I loved Mac's flashbacks. They tied in very well with the situation, as well a bomb scene and a war is a lot like the same. I love how they found them early on, I was glad the whole ep wasn't about getting them in. And Danny is to the rescue! This episode definitely tied in the Beirut with the bomb. I loved Stella's worried look at his old injury. As to the guy who actually did it? It’s a guy from the military (love the tie- military personnel doing this and Mac is remembering his military days while this is going on- great little tie in). The creepy military guy was really psychotic no? Ok true, he was a schizophrenic, sorry for being a little insensitive. But he killed people. I think that's when sensitivity needs to stop. I mean he studied Mac. Only after Stella told him (btw he totally hit on her, what is with her and attracting the creepy guys? First Frankie and now military bomber?) I love the fact he was a military nut because it was great to see what someone who should be protecting the country do when well they are harming the people of that country. It's just a great idea to see the good turn bad. The thought of how screwed we'd be if any military personnel turned on us, since they know sooo much and they are so good at what they do.
I loved the idea of the cell phone being the trigger. That was excellent. I mean how many people could set off a bomb? It could be anyone. And I loved Mac yelling at the homeland security chick and she has this look of like a punished student. It was great. Hahah I love Mac. And the scene with all the cell phones going off was a good point to see HOW screwed NY would be.
I mean this episode was just great because it also had yet another bomb? And well crap now they gotta find it. And of course we are worried about Flack. Not cool. RANDOM LITTLE NOTE:
I have to say I was very happy to see Jane! She needs to come back. We need more of her. Also I definitely loved the military music throughout. It was another great tie in to everything.
FAVORITE SCENE:
I loved the bits with everyone worrying about Flack. Again I love it when the episodes are about teams joining together. I was like "Awww Mac wants to see him." And when we found out there were pieces of debris in him…… grosssss…. What the human body can go through, right?
And when Mac was taking photo I was worrying he's dead. Since usually you take photos or we see them taking photos of the dead. So I kept thinking "stop it Mac….. He can't be dead!" And of course, I loved the bit at the end where everyone was watching over Flack- so sweet. Mac and Stella were really cute and when the others joined it was just perfect.
Then, squee, Danny and Lindsay go out together (internal note: YAY! Sorry- I'm done now :D)
Mac and Stella were so cute- "we take care of each other."
And then of course best scene of all had to be when Mac was in the room with Flack and he asked him, told him to squeeze the hand. And Flack does! YAY. It made me SOB. But hey, it was good :D.
OVERALL:
This was an excellent episode for the season finale. It made me realize how much CSI:NY is going, and how far it can be taken, and how great it is. It made me love this show more, and though it was a little bomby (grr Miami) it was a great episode. It definitely was a hint of next season and how great that would be.
