Season finale

[LoveIsAStateOfMind · 7/10 · 29 December 2015]

I loved the whole slow motion, muffled sound thing when Mac was sitting at the desk. Very artistic.

Not being funny but an old case that comes back to haunt Mac? Twice in a row? Really? That's, erm, creative. I get them having the season/series finale being Mac-centric but wouldn't it make sense to have had the previous Mac/old partner story arc earlier on and stuck a Jo-centric episode beforehand? Remember the beautiful Season 2 season where in the latter half each character had a "centric" episode ... *sighs wistfully*.

When they sent out that postcard to all the news sources wouldn't they have blocked out the ex-girlfriend's address completely?? I mean who knows what kind of crazy people she could have coming up to her door.

It was a bit Without A Trace-ish with the missing girl but it was definitely an interesting case, one of the best of the season.

Epic use of montages at the beginning and end of the episode

Mac's Job Is Hazardous To One's Health

[ccthemovieman-1 · 9/10 · 16 February 2012]

Mac comes within an eyelash of getting killed (a gun in his face with the man pulling the trigger but the gun not going off). After that horrific experience, a shaken Mac then - perhaps with retirement in mind - attempts to get closure in his job by re-opening the last unsolved crime that's still on his desk.

He goes back to a killing at a bodega from nine years ago and, this time, discovers a clue indicating that in addition to the double homicide, they also was a little girl kidnapped at the scene! More than finding the killers, he's interested in getting back the kidnapped child. How he and the CSI gang goes about it is interesting and fills the second half of the crime story. I especially enjoyed the performances of Clayne Crawford ("Wes") and Kayla Carlson ("Olivia").

Meanwhile, Danny finds out he has passed the Sergeant's test will be "Sgt. Messer." Does that mean he's gone from CSI?

In the end, a totally stressed-out Mac silently leaves the CSI building and walks alone down the streets. The question is: is this end for him? Has this job gotten to be too much?
