CSI:NY Season 7 Episode 1- "The 34th Floor"
First off, Lindsay was awesome in this, particularly the opening scene, a real powerful performance by Anna. You could really see how terrified Lindsay was for her family, but also how she was trying to hide it. It was also balanced out with anger, especially at the point where Shane Casey taunted them by hugging Lucy, I loved the look of rage on her face when she pulled the trigger. She really did great in that opening scene, I just love it was Lindsay who saved her husband and daughter, such a refreshing change from what you would usually get where it would be the husband coming to the aid of his wife and family in distress. They've had a couple of scenes where Stella has been kick-ass action chick, it was about time Lindsay got a turn. Especially as they've hinted at that side to her character in the past, but then seemed to just forget about it.
She did great in the aftermath too, you could really see just how emotionally drained she had become in the five moths after the shooting, I love the way that they managed to show that the whole ordeal had clearly affected her psychologically without making her into a total basket case. It just seemed a lot more realistic, so really love what the writers and especially, Anna with her performance, did there.
I really enjoyed her scene on the roof, first with Mac and then with Danny, the way that Danny reassured her that she was his hero and she should think about the life she saved, their daughter's, rather than the life that she took. That was definitely exactly what she needed to hear, so really great that he was there for her. They've really become so much more supportive of each other in the last couple of years, it's great to see that development to their relationship..
Lindsay also looks great in this episode, she really is beautiful.. Looked pretty dam Hot in her Dress Uniform.
So, Jo.. A fairly decent character who seemed to do well in her first appearance. In some of her scenes she seemed to have echoes of Season 1 Catherine especially in the phone call home scene. I wasn't too sure about her scene with Adam, I think the joke itself was funny, but not too sure it fit right with a first meeting.. Just had to wonder how I would feel if someone I had just met played that prank on me, might be a bit of an uncomfortable situation.. But, hey, it's not big thing. Overall, I think that the character has definitely set her place within the team, she has a totally unique style to Stella and her dynamic with everyone is completely different too. Should be interesting to see her developed further.
Something that was pretty funny about Danny in this première was the total contrast with his situation in the beginning of Season 6, in that season premier he was stuck in a wheelchair, not sure if he'd ever walk again... This year he was leaping off of landings etc to chase down a suspect.. just seemed funny.
The case itself, was a bit sub-par, especially for a Season opener, for a murder that happened in their own building it seemed a bit boring and anti-climactic.. Just kind of dull. Also, since when has there been an archietect's office in that building? I thought the entire high-rise was the NYPD, sort of like the real Police Plaza... Seemed a little odd to me.
Overall then a really great episode,for me the focus on my favourite character made it my personal favourite première of the show so far..
Gave it an A+
