  • Death by chocolate? spoilers inside

    9.7
    "Superb"
    By coolceruleanblu, Oct 16, 2010
    The Beginning:
    The shooting at the store was so shocking; it was just a disappointment that they felt the need to shoot the store owner after they got the money. I didn't understand why that happens. This made for a wonderful beginning. The Cases:
    Then there was the bit with the cop sneering about science. It was very annoying, but it helped bring to light the same wall between cops and scientists like the wall that exists in Las Vegas' CSI. What I found funny was that moments later we see him and Flack finding out where the perp dropped the gun, and that in itself is science as well. It seems the cops are always running into problems with the PD- but Flack gets the book, it was nice to see him standing up for the CSIs. Then when he was going through the book- and then there was a scribble, Moran messed up with the books. The notes Moran removed were vital information and it's shocking that he changed them. Of course we find out why. I loved how Flack feels he has to be up to the task of it. How he knows Moran so well he was able to figure out where he put the soda can. And he finds it. Jane's bit with how Moran's son was Hector the one who was being initiated into the gang. And despite it all, Moran won't give up his son.

    Then there is the case with the body on the canopy- a Mr. Actman (don't you love the names? It's great)- a producer dead. It was amusing to see all the people who talked to him before he died, possible suspects that in moments finish the end. And all of them were stupid people with their dung that they felt they needed to confront the producer on. It was cute to see how the wife kicked the husband in the ass because she was angry about his eating. And everything everyone is saying checks out. So ironic that the wife was right, chocolate was the bit that killed him because he fell trying to get his secret stash, a stash he had because of his wife, and yet she was the only one that loved him, and cared for him. She didn't stop him from eating chocolate because she wanted to torture him, but because she knew it wasn't good for him.

    Favorite Scene:
    It was so sad and touching when a good cop goes down. Yes, he did the wrong thing, but he did it because of his son. It was just sad to see that he lost his badge because he was trying to protect his son.moreless

    Ok the two case were great. I like the meeting up of Flack and his training officer. Guess we all have to grow up sometime. I loved the interaction between them. I also was impressed as touchy as the case got, Flack stood his ground not only to Gavin but to Mac. Maybe proving something to everyone, including himself. The the case for Danny & Aiden. It turning out to be death but sugar tooth was just classic for Danny & Aiden. I like how they worked through the evidence, got a few leads but ultimately it was the victims on undoing.moreless

  • This is like Miami episode Grave young Men

    This is very much like the Csi Miami episode Grave Young Men wherein a father is trying to help his son. Only difference is that he is not working with the CSI team. In the end it would cost them. In Miami, the father who is a convict on parole was sent back to prison because of a parole violation, in New York, the father who is cop would lose his badge. Also both sons don't think to highly of their fathers. The difference here again is that in Miami, the son was told that his father sacrificed himself to help his son, while in New York not only did the son not want to see his father but was not told that he tried to help him.moreless

    • Goof: After reviewing the security footage of a robbery and realizing there's a missing can at the scene, the team assume one of the cops on the scene removed it. However, the murderers shot out the security camera before the actual shooting occurred, so anything could have happened during the off-camera, including the killers having taken the can with them, a possibility that was never considered.

    • Danny's uncle manufactures building canopies in Queens.
