Joey Lawerence fell from a building into a poilce car. I think that might have scarred my inner child. No doubt he was a pretty creepy bad guy, but that last scene I was yelling at the screen going "Don't jump off the building, don't jump off the building, don't jump off the building..."

OMG HAWKES! The writers do remember he exists! And it was a Hawkes/Danny case, which made me so incredibly happy. The two of them running around Coney island was just amazingly fun. Although Lindsay wasn't there much--I didn't really mind. While I wish she'd have more screentime, I could see where the writers could have fit her in a few places, but I couldn't really see her running around Coney Island with Danny and/or Hawkes. It would have been too much.

And my inner-Cassavelli so wanted to slug Mac for going at Adam like that. Nuh-uh. I said this with Hawkes, and I'll say it with Adam. That was really too much more than was called for. Jerk.

Also, the conversation with Flack? Mac really just doesn't get it. This isn't just about Flack blaming himself, which he does, but other cops blaming Flack as well. I wish the writers would go into the kind of heat Flack is taking about the Truby backlash, because they're hinting at it from the way Flack is acting, but the audience doesn't really see it, and it would make Flack's point of view so much stronger for the audience, and we'd be able to sympathize with him more. But then again, TPTB don't really care that much about Flack's development, so I guess this is just doesn't matter.

Also, I'm beginning to think that Mac's pressing need to keep Danny in line might be coming from the fact that Mac has problems with authority himself. I've been thinking about the conversation he had with Gerrard, and thinking about ones he's had in the past, and it's reminding me of the Danny/Mac conversations from season 1. Where Danny would take things a step too far, get ahead of the evidence, and Mac would have to rein him back in--I can see the same thing between Mac and Gerrard. It's really interesting to see, for me anyway. It wasn't as prominent in the first two seasons, because we haven't really had someone for Mac to keep Mac in line in that way, but now that we do, we can see that Danny and Mac are a lot more alike than people think.

Oh, and Mac? You're so screwed next week.

Also, is the Cold Case episode for the crossover this Sunday, or the Sunday after the NY episode?
