According to TV Guide, Mac Taylor will have a new love interest later this season on CSI: NY. She’ll be played by actress Madchen Amick who you may know from her previous roles on Californication, Gossip Girl or My Own Worst Enemy.

If you’re like me, you’ve been at least partially hoping that Mac & Stella would get together. They seem to have such great chemistry. But this new recurring role will be Mac’s first venture into a relationship since Peyton Driscoll, played by Claire Forlani, left the show a couple of seasons ago. Personally, I can’t imagine him being alone that long in real life.

We have no word yet about when she’ll appear on the show, but we know she will be a recurring character. I’ll update you as details are available.

CSI: NY – Episode 6.01: “Epilogue” Recap

Lynn — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 03:07:32 +0000

Episode 6.01: Epilogue
Air Date: September 23, 2009

The season 6 season premiere of CSI: NY began with a review of the final scene in season 5. The CSIs were having a toast to Jessica Angell, who had been killed. Just then, a car drove by and sent a shower of machine gun bullets through the group as they all hit the floor.
A month later, we see Mac in the office, going over evidence, Flack with a pretty new girl and Stella getting dressed while an undressed Adam watches from the bed. [Wow! I didn’t see that coming!]
Mac gets a phone call and joins Danny (in a wheelchair) at a dark room with very large crystal chandeliers. Soon, a woman joins them. She tells them that her brother is just a scared kid caught up with two others in something. They try to get her to tell them what she knows.
Just then, the elevator doors open and a man in the shadows fires a machine gun at them. They all hit the floor. Danny pulls himself to help the injured woman as Mac goes after the gunman. She dies before she can tell them anything. The gunman gets away.
When Stella & Hawkes show up at the scene, Danny fills them in. the only thing they learned from the woman was a name…Jake.
Flack shows up, just back from a leave of absence and says he’s going to help. He and Mac go over security camera footage…no camera in the elevator.
At the crime scene, Danny flashes back to the night of the bar shooting. Lindsay reminds him that there’s no permanent damage to his spine. He may regain the use of his legs eventually. He’s not so optimistic.
At the office, Stella scolds Mac for taking Danny and going without backup to talk to the woman. He quotes Shakespeare: “Tempt not a desperate man.”
Another phone call and Mac tells Stella that it’s happened again.
The team arrives at the scene where a car drove past a large group of people waiting to get into a club. A car had driven by and fired a machine gun at the crowd. Everyone looks up at a large lighted billboard that reads, “Do we have your attention? Pay us and we’ll stop.”
A reporter at the scene had tipped them to another similar shooting at a closed restaurant two weeks before. The team goes over everything so far and determines that the shootings are not targeting cops, not with the intent to kill because there had only been one fatality and one of the locations was closed. They want to scare people.
Just then, a clean-up crime scene technician tells the CSIs that she found an unreported bloody fingerprint on the ceiling of the elevator at the crime office building. Adam gets defensive because he says that he checked everything.
They realize that Mac must have injured the gunman and that now they may have DNA to identify him.
Haylen, the cleanup tech tells Adam that she wants to work in the lab and he tells her that the job she’s after is his, so he won’t help her.
Sid pulled a piece of tempered glass from the woman’s shoulder that Hawkes examined and found that it put her in the bar, the night of the shooting when they were all there.
Flack shows Stella the body of the missing security guard from the night in the office building. They look at the blood trail to see that the killer tracked the guard there and killed him. The killer was also wounded and took the guard’s sleeve to bandage the wound.
At the lab, they determine that the woman had worked in the building, so they got copies of the voicemail greetings to compare to the tip line for identification.
The blood from the elevator matched the blood on the front of the dead guard’s shirt and Hawkes’ investigation told them that the guard had stabbed the killer with the same knife that killed him. They had an identification of the killer.
The voice recognition software helped them identify the woman as Risa Calaveras. That means that her brother must be Jake Calaveras.
Stella tells Mac that the shooter was dumped at the hospital and died soon after. They decide to study the hospital security camera footage. They got a license plate number and a suspect’s identity.
They show up at the suspect’s apartment in time to see Jake Calaveras pointing a gun at him for killing his sister. They tell him that he shouldn’t shoot him and they will take care of him. Jake tells them it’s too late and shoots the other man. They take him into custody.
In the interrogation room, Jake explained to Mac that the other two had wanted to get the city to “work for them.” He said that Risa had talked him out of going with them the night of the bar shooting. He didn’t know she had been there to try to stop him.
Adam caught up to Stella in the office to talk about the night they were together. She blurted out that it had been wonderful and stupid and memorable and something they should never do again. He acted relived and agreed with her.
The episode ended with Stella helping Mac pack up the case files, Lindsay holding her baby and Danny in the wheelchair trying to move his legs. Suddenly, one of his feet barely moved. He looked up and smiled.

Discussion Points:

What do you think of the hookup between Stella & Adam? Did you see it coming?
I really liked how supportive and optimistic Lindsay was about Danny’s injury. What are your thoughts about them?
What was your opinion of this episode? Was it a satisfying result after the shooting and the cliffhanger?
Do you like the new character, Haylen?

Leave a comment to share your thoughts about it!

Episode 6.01: Epilogue
Air Date: September 23, 2009

I’m thrilled to bring you the very first episodic photos for CSI: NY’s 6th season. We see the newest cast member for the show and see most of the old regulars. The caption tells us that there will be one person’s life that will change forever. I’ve heard the rumors about that too but will only confirm once I know the true situation.

But the good news is that it’s clear that Mac, Stella, Hawkes, Adam and Lindsay have all survived the shooting. But what about Sid, Danny & Flack….? Here’s the description and name for the new character:

Sarah Carter (“Shark”) Joins the Cast as Haylen Becall, a Forensic School Graduate Who Works As a Crime Scene Clean Up Technician and Has Aspirations of Being a CSI

Following a spray of machine gunfire, Det. Stella Bonasera, (Melina Kanakaredes), and Det. Mac Taylor rise from the chaos. But when one member’s life is significantly changed, it proves to be the emotional motivation they need to piece together their lives and ultimately find the shooter, on the sixth season premiere of CSI: NY, Wednesday, September 23 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT)

Gary Sinise is Filming a Documentary About His Band

Lynn — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 19:44:22 +0000

One thing that any fan of CSI: NY star Gary Sinise knows is that he is very committed to support for the US troops. He and his band, The Lt. Dan Band, named for his charactr in the movie Forrest Gump, regularly go to play for the troops all over the world.

He was even awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal in December by President Bush for his work supporting American soldiers.

He has produced and narrated documentaries about patriotism and is now working on a new documentary about the band.

Here’s how IMDb has the documentary listed:

Lt. Dan Band – The story of a man and his band and the Patriots they meet along the way.

The program is listed as being narrated by Gary’s good friend Jon Voigt and should be a terrific program to see, once it’s ready. I’ll keep you informed about its progress here. (You might also want to go see the movie poster for the project on IMDb. I don’t have permission to post it, but it’s a very cool poster.)

Gary Sinise Spoke at USO Function

Lynn — Tue, 26 May 2009 03:18:15 +0000

CSI: NY star Gary Sinise is well known in his efforts to support the U.S. troops abroad. And one of the organizations that is also very active in support of the troops is the USO. So it should come as no surprise to his fans that Gary attended a recent USO cocktail party and reception and answered questions from the attendees in a Q&A session.

The event was hosted by Hollywood Reporter and Editor Elizabeth Guider at Morton’s Steak House in Beverly Hills. I admire Gary Sinise for his efforts and congratulate him on the opportunity to help a very worthy cause.

Gary Sinise on The View Yesterday

Lynn — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 00:05:46 +0000

Yesterday, the birthday boy, Gary Sinise was a guest on The View. He talked about CSI: NY a bit and then went on to describe his new project, a documentary called Brothers at War. It’s a very interesting sounding documentary about a man whose brothers signed up to go to war and he went with them in order to try to understand what they were going through and why they did it. We all know that Gary has been given awards for all of his work to suppoort the troops. What a cool guy!

Here’s a clip of his appearance on The View:
