"Fair"

First; What's up with the whole Ghost Whisperer,"You could have saved me", bit?
It seemed a little weird to me.
Plus, It was unexpected and catches you off guard, but it doesn't really make a huge amount of sense.

Now, am I the only one to notice the whole amount of specific particulates found on bodies?
Ant chalk?
That's been discontinued for two years?
CSI:NY isn't the only show guilty of making connections from the ridiculous.
I know it's away to connect the dots and implicate suspects, but it really gets a little far fetched.

Lastly, might someone tell me where the writers get these crazy party ideas?
Because the idea of them doing research in the places scares me, lol.moreless

"Mediocre"

This episode just did not work for me. There are just too many problems with it in my opinion. The biggest problem is the scenes of the sploshing parties. I turned away from the screen numerous times. They are gross to the Nth degree. I agree completely with the posted bit of trivia saying that it's hard to believe the victim did not notice a piece of spagetti stuck to his leg. As for the storyline that focuses on Sheldon. That has been done better in previous episodes ("And Here's to You, Mrs. Azreal."). My advice is skip this episode.moreless

"Good"

By thefanof, Nov 30, 2010 Report Abuse

CSI: NY has been a critical and ratings success because it does not solely tackle cases of murder and deceit; it hooks the viewer in by creating compelling characters as well and does not hesitate to go into their troubled past when need be.

Such was the case tonight as we saw Sheldon Hawkes of the crime lab having difficulty in his life. But the show was careful not to have this overweigh the actual murder at hand, a problem many cop dramas often make.

It all was capped off with a brilliant scene with a man wanting to fall from a fire escape only to be saved by the troubled Sheldon and Mac Taylor.

Good episode, good artistic approach as well.moreless

"Perfect"

By TMFMM2022AD, Sep 30, 2010 Report Abuse

Sheldon doesn't like what he has become, he sold his house and spent his saving and retirement. He's kind of embarrassed around the crime lab becasue he doesn't have a place to live and he doesn't feel comfortable telling his co workers his housing situations witch has been reduced to him living on peoples couches. He's smart educated and he felt duped and felt he got greedy, but he was really optimistic. Plus he felt responsible for the murders and was seeing hallucinations of the dead bodies blaming him for their murders. I reminded me of ghost whisperer where the ghost come to life and talk to Melinda Warner. I love Ghost Whisperer, another Good Episodemoreless

"Superb"

By jordinajamaica, Nov 05, 2009 Report Abuse

Finally our beloved Dr. Hawkes gets a storyline. He lost all his money a month ago and had to sell everything he had, even his condo. That made him work too much and change... That comes to light when a patient of his ends up dead and he blames himself for not taking it serious. When a 2nd body is found he gets even more worried and shatters more... He finally is forced to confess what happens when we discover that the murderer had the same problem than Hawkes and he is threatenning to kill himself... At the end we see how Mac 'orders' HAwkes to stay with him.
There is lots of scenes when 2 or more members of the team are working together and in exception of Hawkes all of the them have more or less the same screentime. Sid helping Danny in the lab with an experiment. The girls working together and Adam being around too... Good chapter. Some cute moments between Adam and Stella including some funny ones like when he explains her what is a splashing party!:)

All in all good chapter! For the spoilers I read I expected maybe a more dramatic one but I liked it that way!:)moreless
