  • A great episode. Really why I watch this series. Love my boys: Danny and Hawkes.

    The beginning:

    A dead girl just flops on someone's car after they said those people could have killed someone? Absolutely brilliant. Only CSI could do something like that. I loved the interaction also with Stella and Flack and how they wanted them to clear off the FDR (which that wasn't btw- that showed stores next to it. FDR has no stores next to it) and especially not in the location that was, which is by 59th street, the Roosevelt Island Octagon Tram. Nonetheless? An awesome beginning to a great episode.



    The cases:

    So we have a dead dancer. Who has been sabotaged by her co-dancers and sexually assaulted by her choreographer. We have a list of suspects that all come out negative. Her case ends up being combined with Lindsay's case of a dead tram driver. That's how we got the second suspect, the choreographer. He lives on Roosevelt Island. What it turns out to be is that Kia's death was an accident. The intent was only to kill the tram driver. And the widow who was married to that guy for that long and hated him? I mean really. 35 years no matter what it is- you divorce him way before that. What made her stay in the relationship- couldn’t have been the pension when they were first married. What a b****. Faking an injury to get her brother to act and so HE gets in trouble? What a piece of work.



    Then we have the poor fish merchant who only wanted the best for his son who was stabbed to death by a SWORDFISH that's right a swordfish. He was stabbed by the person who recommended him to the school. The guy figured the fish merchant's son would never get in, but of course he did, they were a good family. It wasn't all about money. But the stupid restaurant owner, an elite, thought badly of it. What a jerk. Another episode though involving the elite gone bad. And who imports Hawaiian sand to a school? I mean really.



    Favorite scene:

    Had to be when Danny and Hawkes were wheeling in the giant swordfish. That was amazing. And I loved them treating it like a dead body and everything with the wheeling it in on a cart like that. They could have put it in something else… a trunk maybe? Hahaha. So brilliant



    Overall:

    This was a great episode. Really got you thinking and it really got your blood boiling with the crimes. I mean who do some people think they are? Honestly?
  • Great Script . . .

    I really like how the cases of Kia Rowe and Harold Klavin ultimately had Mac, Stella & Lindsay working the same case. Mac & Stella tackling the murder of a dancer. Lindsay the death of a tram driver. But it was Lindsay going on her gut and instinct was great to watch. Danny & Hawkes working the murder of Fred Bayliss had it's amusing moments but the serious tones. I loved how Danny was willing to stand up for what Fred Bayliss wanted for his son.

    Spoilers:





    Good episode, nice written, jokes in the right places and not over ruling.



    *cough* excuse me, I got a cold *cough cough*

    I swear, i keep my hand before my mouth when i cough...



    Well, anyway, the episode...



    Three murders... and they all smelled!



    First Kia, who landed on a car... Now this is something i just HAVE to say... when I saw her land on the window, I thought she was thrown out of a high building...



    Then, when I saw the bridge, which she 'fell' from, as stated by the team... I was like 'What? No way! That bridge is way too low for such a fall... She must have jumped very high to get that done!"



    I thought it was a mistake from the makers, but then it turned out that she actually fell from the cable tram... DOH... why didn't I think of that... awesome!



    *sneeze*... thank you.



    Something I didn't like here was... the knife in the locker of that loser of a dancer who put glass in Kia's shoe...

    It was the exact same kind of knife as the one that cut Kia's arm.



    The glass and the choreographer (is that the name?) were amazing though, it could easily have been them... and then the seventeen million!... it was seventeen million right? or was it thousand?



    Oh well... i thought those were great things to fool the watchers of this episode.



    I never expected it, and that's rare, i normally solve the murder a long time before the detectives in the series do... so that's what i really liked!

    I could have sworn that Mr. Claven was killed because he saw something he shouldn't have... on the other hand, i did think... 'why kill somebody in a cable tram when you don't want anybody to witness it, while you know that somebody has to drive it... steer it... whatever... ?

    So that did give me some doubts...



    The bitter old lady, misses Claven got my sympathy when i saw her black eye... now she just disgusts me...



    "You might hated your life miss Claven, but Kia loved hers, and you took it from her"



    NICE! I like Lindsay, always very sharp!







    Now, the sword fish murder... that was a classic!

    And i like to moral of the story... "rich people suck"... no just kidding... It was a nice case to solve, very unusual, not as many fish jokes as i expected, but i guess that's a good thing... *cough cough cough*... gosh!



    What i don't understand is... why was Fred dumped in an ally... why didn't he just leave him there? And... why did he run in the first place? It's not like he murdered him... right? Or did he? Did mister 'i'm rich so i deserve more' know that Fred was going to land in the tooth of a swordfish? He should have called an ambulance... but i guess that would have cost too much... i mean.. calling the ambulance is one thing... but the batteries it eats while hanging on the phone with alllll those questions before somebody actually send the ambulance... oh dear lord... you'll have to recharge your battery... that would take two whole cents from his well earned fortune!

    What to say about this episode? I would say that it was a bad episode only it wasn't. Week after week, NY has great acting only the good scripts seem to get sent over to CSI. (Not that I mind of course but just once could NY have a great episode that doesn't sound familiar in any to CSI.) This episode was kind of strange; a guy gets stabbed with a swordfish, right... Anyway I can admit to saying that I thought the murder would involve the son in some way the moment sand was poured from the dead guys shoe. Overall, a pretty good episode however I would like to learn more about Lindsey.
  • Good episode, lots of mysteries.

    This was a good episode. I liked how they tied the dancer's murder with the tram driver. The swordfish death was strange but to each his own. I like the new girl, she's much better than the girl that left the show. And I am loving Dr. Hawk in the field.
