Great Suspense Makes For Memorable Season Finale

[ccthemovieman-1 · 10/10 · 24 October 2007]

The writers of these CSI shows usually end their seasons on dramatic notes, with either a two-or-three-part story or something that will leave you hanging and draw you back the next year. Well, they didn't hang us up wondering what will happen nor was it a two-parter, but it WAS a great season finale. It probably was the best episode of the season, at least to me. It couldn't have had more suspense!

This episode was loaded with suspense almost from the start. In a nutshell, a big bust goes down involving Irish mobsters and a big shipment of cocaine. The crooks who escaped make an elaborate and effective plan to get it back from the CSI and invade their building under disguise as firemen.

Meanwhile, back at the original crime bust scene - a warehouse - Danny and Adam are taken hostage by gang members still there. They are beaten up pretty bad.

So, the episode revolves around Mac, Stella and Sheldon defending the CSI lab and the two hostages doing what they can to stay alive....all very dramatic stuff.

Extremely Well Done

[Feeny0902 · 10/10 · 23 May 2007]

I completely agree with the comments stating that this episode is the best ever. It was well written, using elements that were introduced earlier on in the season, like the FBI agent being murdered. Like the person who commented before me said, the bit of romance was wonderful to see, but was not the main focus. We were given just enough of the characters' personal lives, which we are interested in and crave, but it did not take over. And it was a nice break from the -crime, evidence, take down bad guy- formula, not that there's anything wrong with that, but this season finale really stood out. They used their intellect, skills, strategy, and strength to bring down an antagonist who actually targeted them, instead of them just following a crime committed against someone else. All in all - this was so great, and I am so excited about season four and the prospect of the new plots to come.

Don't mess with Scientists

[carly_hope · 10/10 · 19 May 2007]

best episode ever. it had everything. action, romance, some humor and even some bad guys with hot Irish accent.

this surely showed that you don't mess with scientists. it was a little rough on Danny and Adam but I guess thats what happen with mobs - of any origin.

it was really cool to see the team being capable of more then just lift fingerprints and find traces.

as for the romantic scenes - they were perfect. for both Mac and Peyton and Danny & Lindsay. his gesture was completely sweet - taking her shift and leaving a daisy for her, and the fact that Mac accepted the trip to London Peyton offered was like a cherry on the top of a great chocolate cake.

applause for the brilliant performances of all the cast and last but not least - big thanks to the costume department for putting on Danny that great white shirt, sticking Flack in that black whatever-you-call-it and for giving Stella the sexy green T-shirt

Csi NYC

[my_sisters_keeper · 10/10 · 19 September 2007]

I was on the edge of my seat the whole time! New York City heats up, with Danny and Lindsey and Mac and Peyton. When Danny and Adam were held hostage, I almost cried! I had no idea if they would make it out alive. I recorded the episode and have watched it at least 30 times. I thought that they should have made it into a 2 part episode, but it was really good! When Mac and Stella get caught in the middle of the drug raid from their building, it was so suspenseful. I would never have thought of ANY ideas in this episode. Great job to the writers and the cast for the outstanding roles! I will keep watching it, over and over! I hope the fourth season is just as good.

Well golly gee whiz, let's go ahead on and review this here episode of CSI: NY.....

.....because it ended the third season of this amazing show. A drug bust starts off the episode SNOW DAY with a drug bust that nets over one hundred million dollars of cocaine as smuggled in by members of an Irish criminal outfit, one of whose members was stuffed inside the cab of an eighteen-wheeler used in the smuggling. So now those same criminal Irishmen attempt to get the cocaine back after it's been transported to the CSI lab as ordered by the head CSI himself, Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise). Some of those sons of Eire pass themselves off as employees of a gas company who have arrived to plug up a gas leak (which is phony, of course), and they are heavily armed! Mac and his favorite colleagues Stella Bonasera (Melina Kanakaredes) and Sheldon Hawkes (Harper Hill) have to try to outwit those very bad guys, while Danny Messer (Carmine Giovinazzo) and Adam Ross (A. J. Buckley) are held hostage in another locality by other members of that very same gang. Adam has cigarette burns on the palm of his hand, as the poor rascal was forced through torture to give up information as to the location of the cocaine. But leave it to Mac, Stella, and Sheldon fight back, even though those Irishmen use an armor-piercing weapon and shoot up Mac's laboratory (shades of DIE HARD from 1988). The bad guys are going to pass themselves off as firemen and try to abscond with the cocaine. And it ties in to the murder of FBI agent Claire Broadbent six months earlier; she was married with two boys. The episode ends with an explosion at the CSI crime lab as Mac went one-on-one with the head Irishman himself, Jackie Doyle (Tom Archdeacon) by name. After which Mac heads off to London with the lovely Peyton Driscoll (Claire Forlani). Television history reveals that their romance cratered because Mac's heart is in the heart of the Big Apple. Great ending to the third season. And that's the way it is.
