"Perfect"

Can I not give this episode higher than a 10. I just think a 10 is too low that is how good it was. I love watching Flack so much that this is the best ever episode of CSI NY I have ever seen because it has Flack in it constantly. I liked that Flack was romantically linked with someone but I just don't see it working out. I like the chemistry you feel between Flack and Danny especially when he is teasing him about Devon. Flack looked so cute in his Bond suit. It was probably an amazing episode to film for Eddie Cahill.moreless

So...Bond and CSI...it sort of worked. Flack's girlfriend's apartment was robbed and they try to figure out who did it. The person that did the robbing ended up dead...in the end, it was just the guy who made the cool car work and he wanted to get in on the action. I wasn't expecting that. I didn't really like the Bond theme, but it wasn't that bad. I loved the car, but the suits were stupid. I thought I was watching The Tuxedo. I liked the continuation of Mac's stalker situation. Overall, not an interesting story, but still plenty of interesting moments.moreless

Super spies and bat mobiles is not ordinary in New York, the writers took a huge risk with the Bond theme. Personally, this episode was hard to follow, especially Sinclaire's e-mail. I'd have to say the most interesting moments in this episode would have to be the 333 phone calls. From the message left on Det. Taylor's cell phone including finding out that the Stalker was on teh flight with Mac 2 weeks ago, to the bloody T-shirt with a "slit neck" blood pattern. Det. Flackw as very involved in this epidosew, in ways whih were good, although his girlfriend was not expected. In the end, this episode did not amuse me and frankly, it dissapointed me.moreless

"Perfect"

My favorite episode of season 4. Okay, I must admit it's mainly my favorite one because of Detective Don Flack. The episode couldn't start with a more appealing beginning than seeing Flack getting busy with a hot girl ;). I really enjoy seeing the private Don Flack evolve. It makes the whole TV show more interesting to not forget about the personal life of each character. Of course he once again kicks ass, and I love the part where he gets to play a kinda bondish Don Flack. It gives the whole episode another point of view. It's still about the cases, but this time it involves more action and of course one super hot car. Not to forget the special suit that is wired and downloads files and whatnot that is near by. No doubt, this episode was inspired by some Bond flair, but it is still very enjoyable and unique in its own way!moreless

Don't get me wrong, I love Bond and CSI: NY but the mixture just didn't work. Keep the gadgets in the James Bond universe!!!! Yes, it was "cute" to see the show constantly making references to the Bond films of yesterday, but from the atrocious computer effects (especially when the Aston Martin crashes into a barrier) and the overall ease and suddenness that the killer is caught in the end makes this episode of CSI: NY one of the weakest. The fourth season didn't seem to pick up until the episode "Child's Play" which is in the middle of the season.moreless

ADD TRIVIA
- At the beginning, Flack has time to put on his shirt and go down the building just in time to see the thief going in the car. It is odd as the apartment is in a high level and the burglar rapelled down the building. Edit
- Goof: The overlapping tire skid marks were shown at the first scene, and then later were shown to be the distinctive marks indicating the body dump at the second scene (on Bond Street). Edit
- The cell phone used by Gary Sinise is a blue Treo 755P. Edit
