The next case for the CSIs gets even tougher when a paintball player turns out to be the prime suspect and later goes missing. The team also has another problem: the evidence that should point to the prime suspect points to someone else.
Read Full Recap » (warning: possible spoilers!)Flack, Flack and Flack. Anything else I need to add??? hide show
This episode is made for Flack and his actor Eddie Cahill deserved it.
The interaction between Mac and Flack: the actors play each other off so well in this episode that you can only wish for more intersction between the two.
The struggle Flack has with Truby's dirty-ness, it gives Eddie Cahill a good opportunity to show what he can.
Otherwise, this episode is extremely good and I just love it. Sure, I'm a huge Flack fan, but all the other characters have their episodes, too and this one is Flack's.
For all the Flack-fans out there: watch it and cuddle cute Eddie at the end of the episode!!!!
Such an amazing episode!

THE BEGINNING: How much greater than this can you get? There is a paintball game that ends in DEATH. Sweet. I always knew that game was dangerous! I definitely loved the sounds and the cool effects of it all. Very nicely put together.
THE CASE:
The entire case is built around the paint baller case. However, it has some smaller cases built into it. I think a lot of people, or some thought Mac was a bit over the top with Flack, but actually I think Mac's response to Flack was pretty on target for him. He pulled the same "my lab must be clean of suspect" whatever with Hawkes just last week (poor Hawkes I wub him) and he did it with Aiden a while back. He just doesn't like the idea of corrupt cops. he strives to have clean business. Though I wouldn't be surprised if in the future the writers make him go all ebil- MWAHAHA.
Anyways, I liked where they went with this case. I really liked what seemed like rival paint ball champions was actually a good cop turned bad case. I thought the first clue was great. Also integrated into this case was the kid following Stella who turns out to be Mac’s son. At first I thought she was just being way too paranoid, but now, not so sure, since we actually see him. And then we find out who he is, and it’s a whole, oooooo. He thought she was CLAIRE. Though I don’t know how he could have made that mistake. But whatever, not a big deal.
Definitely loved the twist with the aliens. I mean come on. It just shows you the kind of silly things New Yorkers, well some, believe in. A lot of people said it was pointless. I didn’t think so. I mean this is an episode, about NY. You are of COURSE going to run into random things. CRAZY people. And yes, people are that insane here. And there is a majority of them. It’s hard to go by a day without some guy preaching to you or some woman singing prayers on the train. So maybe they aren’t crazy, no, but they need to realize after a long hard day of working, we don’t all want to listen to you talk about how You’re an angel sent down from heaven and we aren’t allowed to look at you. That is one of the great things about new york. It’s all the different people, and all the different personalities. That’s why a show about NY is of course going to throw in the random NYer who is just a little on the unique side.
FAVORITE SCENES:
I liked the crazy astrologer. I hope she and her husband eventually get back to each other. I loved THE ENTIRE thing with the alien. Flack Flack Flack, with his whole smile as he looks at Stella who looked quizzically at the girl and said “I’m here for the alien??” And who is the alien? Our missing paint baller.
I also loved the whole scene with the interviews in the apartment. And I loved how they filmed that, it was very well put together. With all the thank you’s and door slammings. GREAT!
HEE HEE HEE And come on you have got to love the gleeful look Danny gives after he checks out the moon rock. How cuter can you get? The “get outta here!” and that whole science geek that he makes look sexy is sooo apparent here. Such a cute part. I mean really.
Adam’s scenes. Over and over again. He is such a great little techy :D I loveeeee him with the whole poof! He has some great one liners. Superbly done :). I definitely love the scene with Mac and Reed. So cute. It was definitely very touching. And finally had to be Flack watching the cop go down. The pain on his face is just unbearable. Poor Flacky Flack.
OVERALL:
Such an amazing episode! I must play devil's advocate because I enjoyed this episode despite the lack of D/L. What really sold me on this episode was Flack. I LOVE Flack and I think Eddie Cahill is brilliant. I thought he was awesome. He was not only hilarious but also he had a more touching side to him: you could see the pain on his face when the cop was being taken away. I *heart* Flack, especially when he was interviewing everyone.
I think another part that really touched me was when we see the husband of the astrologer and Stella asks if he wants to talk to his wife. He claims sadly, how that’s not his wife, his wife, Trina, is still missing. Poor guy. Bless him.
A solid episode not the best so far this season but good. For one I like how they only centered around one case and made a mess of clues all tie together. The only thing I didn't like was near the end. I thought the sub-plot with Mac and that kids was pointless. Also didn't like how the case tied to someone on team. Because they did the same thing last week with Hawkes and how this week they did the same Flack.
An 'Alien', drugs, Stella's issues, dirty cops, and bear trap of all things. Just a typical day in New York!!! hide show
Ok first thing Stella drastically needs a life not everything is about her. Although in this case she was being watched so i guess we can let her off with that one lol. Secondly, I love Flack as much as the next person but come on! He really needs to start trusting Mac when it comes to dirty cops. Has Mac ever caused anyone to distrust him? Besides he should really thank him for saving his life. Bless I think he needs to get rid of that chip on his shoulder, but not the sarcasim. Thirdly, that woman who had caught that "alien". Well she needs help lol. Altogether really liked this episode. This series is actually better than the Vegas and Miami counterparts so far. Hopefully it will stay like this.
Many things are happening in this episode of "CSI: NY." A paintball player is found dead in a warehouse, his teammate has gone missing, Mac and Detective Flack are having issues and somebody appears to be stalking Stella. hide show
There is a lot going on in this particular episode but it worked well, was very entertaining and was well written and acted. I think it's safe to say that not many people were correct in their guess as to what happened to the paintball player who vanished. Certainly a clever (and maybe even frightening) way to end that story. Gary Sinise and Eddie Cahill were terrific in their confrontation. Another sign that "CSI: NY" has a truly great cast. The one thing that did not work for me was the person supposedly stalking Stella. Still a great episode.
