grand murder at central station

the downfall of aiden burn
yep, the title of csi: ny episode 2.02 does sound butchered, if you knew that the station is called grand central.

hill harper’s portrayal of the eager trainee is starting to get on my nerves. i miss his laid-back m.e. maybe later hawkes is gonna be more laid back as well, as he gets used to the excitement of being out in the field. we’ll see how it goes.

thankfully danny keeps his shirt tucked this eppy. and i liked stella’s clothes this eppy.

aiden was nowhere to be found, except for the final confrontation scene with mac. so that’s why the aiden fans are suffering from withdrawal. after all that’s happened at the season pilot, it was such an abrupt change to be limited to one aiden sighting.

somebody from another blog (or csi fansite, i forget already) made a comment about mac wearing a suit jacket to the crime scene. it is kinda weird, wearing a jacket out in the summer heat. whatever.

but don flack… i crush him na talaga.

bigger and brighter

yeah... it's really, really late.

after six months of lurking in message groups, i finally got to experience for myself what the fuss is all about. new offices: check. medical examiner turned field mouse: check. mac’s summer look: check. sunnier vibe: check. yep, the new csi: ny is finally here.

just a few things to get off my chest. i think i’m gonna miss the dark bluish tinge of the show. it represents how ny is different from the other csi shows. but i guess changes can be made to keep things interesting, and besides it’s supposed to be summer. so i hope winter will bring the dark shades back. what i don’t like is the cast change. from what i read on the mailing list and the first shots i see of the new girl, i’m getting biased against her. not good. but then i really liked how aiden fit in the team, and i hate to get used to not seeing her anymore. though it was vanessa ferlito’s decision to leave the show, it just doesn’t seem right. whatever.

btw i just loved mac’s shirt. small pastel stripes… nice. more than anything it conveys how relaxed his character is compared to last season. danny looks a little sloppy with the half-tucked shirt. stella doesn’t look as glamorous as i remembered, and i can’t look at aiden at all (oh, the pain). but flack… i almost didn’t recognize him! nice haircut. and he looks sharp, nicer clothes and all, so he looks taller. i can’t believe eddie cahill is only my age. hayyy, i crush him na.
