I laughed so hard at Lindsay busting Flack's chops in public. That was a serious highlight of the season simply because both Anna and Eddie played that so spot on.
I would be very curious to see what Mac's reaction to the dolls might have been. I suspect he would have been highly unamused in that perfectly deadpan Mac sort of way.
And Flack really did walk into that little moment of mortification with Lindsay. It was played perfectly, and was a really nice bit for both characters.
The scene between Mac and Hawkes played out really interestingly, I thought. I was particularly struck by the "You didn't have to tell me" bit, and the line-reading given on that. It comes off as so wearily resigned -- Mac is sad that Hawkes feels he has to say that, but at the same time he knows *why* Hawkes feels he has to. And he's not happy about the reasons for that. It's a very interesting reaction, and one that continues to stick with me even now, almost a week after the episode aired

(I told you about the fab, didn't I? And like I said last night, oh, Hawkes.)
First, on the shallow note, I agree with you about the Nehru jacket. I'm generally kind of meh about it, but it looks fantastic on Hawkes. I also loved Mac's grey shirt, but Danny's level of casualness is really starting to bother me.
Furthermore, this also establishes the level of trust that Mac has in Hawkes; he thanks him for saying that he didn't do what Pullman wanted, but then adds that it wasn't necessary.
It really is remarkable, and it reminds me that Mac and Hawkes have passed the broccoli test since the beginning. I don't think I'm going to get over the fact that Mac said "you didn't have to tell me" in quite the manner he said it.
The past is haunting SinclairI was pleasantly caught off guard by that second-to-last scene. It's one of those interesting complex moments where we see that the (non-criminal) characters they bring in ostensibly just for Mac to be in conflict with are given layers and an interiority that clearly make them

It makes me wonder if he ever got himself in trouble when he was an active-duty Marine, too.
Ooooh. Excellent question. I'm going to have to think about that. Because you'd have to think about under exactly what conditions or orders those issues with authority would come up. Or if something specific happened near the end of his time with the Marines that pushed him into his current issues with authority.
(It's also another point in common for my crack shipping of Mac/John Sheppard.)

And yes, the scene between Lindsay and Flack was all kinds of funny. It was a really nice moment for both characters.
